[oafaloaf]

Dear Wasupchristo, hope you are doing well. i have a cookwork signature expresso coffee maker as that of yours and its one tube (Steam Line) is damaged and start leaking steam from it as that of yours. i tried by replacing other tube but they couldnot sustain with the pressure (15 Bar) or with the temperture. So can you please give me any idea of tube material or specifically about the tube.

Shall be thankful.

Great video! Any suggestions about how to diagnose why hot water will come out of the steam wand freely but it will not steam?

what is the best way to get the hose off the boiler? our hose is on there pretty tight. we should have enough hose to just cut off the leaky portion and reattach but getting the hose off seems problematic.

It's spelled and pronounced "espresso". Expresso isn't a word.

[wasupchristo]

@wtfnord Thanks for the edit.

I cut the bad part of the hose and put it back in with a small auto screw clamp. Worked just fine and took about 5 min. to fix.Seems to be a common problem.

Do you have picture showing how water pipes (x3) are hooked to turbine Assembly , pump support and two nozzles and bottom of water container ?

Also when I plug 3 pole connector from Turbine to CPU, machine doesnot power on. If I removed this plug, machine does turn on steam works but cannot get water/ coffee to drip ..

This video has been a God send. I've got it apart but I"m having trouble trying to remove the clamps. Have any suggestions?

[wasupchristo]

@riddleofsteel Try diagonal wire cutters

@wasupchristo I was finally able to get them off using needle nose plyers and a tiny flat head screwdriver. My steam function doesn't work at all any more, and I was trying to save those clamps for when I sent it to Saeco for warranty repair. I loved this machine, but man alive, they should call this the Xbox360 of espresso machines.

Thanks for the kick ass video and help.

Great vid! Nice to take a look inside without opening mine up. I have this strange problem where the pressure isn't getting high enough to pass water through the puck.

Where might I look within this thing to diagnose the problem?

[oafaloaf]

I am trying to find one of these for cheap, the espresso & mocha's made with it were really awesome.... Informative useful video nice :)

[mtlgrlie]

Where did you get the new hose?

Is it a special type?

Thanks for taking it apart for us!

Don't forget to use extra caution.

I sent mine back -- it was under warranty. They said the leak (if I remember right it was from the boiler) was the only thing they ever got this unit in on repair for.

Also Starbucks is very good about "extending" warranty work. Mine was a gift so I didn't have a receipt..they said no problem.
