| Welcome to espresso restorations. This site is designed as a way for anybody interested in coffee espresso machines can pick up a few tips about equipment repair and restoration or just browse through the photo-essays and enjoy the story. I have divided the site into 2 categories. On this page you will find links to a few basic pages regarding equipment restoration. In the "From the workbench" section you will find the detailed restorations of various equipment and some specific repairs and troubleshooting guides for common components on espresso coffee machines. I realised that it must be difficult to navigate the site for frequent browsers so will now add an Update section on this page which will inform you of any recent projects. |

| GB/5 steam valve replacement I was told it was tricky but not too bad really. Rebuild essay is here. New bumper products I have just finished a few new products for our new company. The tamping stand is the standout product. Some photos are here. Faema Lambro & E61 A couple of sexy older ladies have arrived. A 1950's Lambro and a 1960's E61. Click here... La Marzocco GS2 - 3 group GOLD 8th August 2006 Finally made some progress on this machine. La Marzocco GB/5 I have just done a good few weeks tearing the GB/5 apart and rebuilding it to see what it is made of. That article is here. SCAA Charlotte announcement My company Just Java will exhibit in April at the SCAA show. We are located at booth #308 close to the USBC area. The purpose is to introduce our new products under the brand name "bumper". The bumper range at the moment is a deluxe knockbox and our own unique tampers. More details will follow and some pictures. At the time of writing this the 1 group GS1 or the gold plated GS2 3 group will be in use at the show. Most likely it will be the small 1 group because a) you wouldn't believe the shipping fees and b) the gold 3 group is still in pieces! La Marzocco GS1 1 group This is the most recent machine that has been completed. The rebuild can be found here. It is most probably my best work so far and the machine has been pulling shots for a few months now. |
