I've spent a decent chunk of today taking apart my Rancilio Silvia Pro coffee machine (Which is an awesome bit of kit and has served me well for probably the last 5 years) to replace the hoses on it for the water tank as well as replace the water tank and the shower screen for the portafilter and I'm now at the terrifying stage of having (with a lot more difficulty than I expected) replaced the hoses, I've now got to figure out how it all goes together so I can run a cleaning cycle or two through it and enjoy some great coffee in the morning.

Uninstalled the meCoffee PID from my Rancilio Silvia V5 E. The meCoffee company went bankrupt a few years ago and they removed the app from the Google Play Store, making the PID much less useful. It took a few hours to rewire everything and I was happy to find that people have made wiring diagrams for unmodified machines. The Silvia is a popular machine amongst enthusiasts, it only lacks good temperature regulation (and possibly dual boilers). The Pro X model fixes both these shortcomings but at more than twice the price. For many people the regular Silvia modded with a third party PID will still be the way to go.

The Android and iOS apps were actually open sourced but it appears nobody continued on the Android app. From a look at it the code is in pretty bad shape.

Juhuuu, sie funktioniert wieder!! ❤️❤️

Nach einem Besuch im Baumarkt hatte ich dann das richtige Werkzeug um das Magnetventil für den Heißwasserauslass auszubauen. Darunter hatte sich Schmutz festgesetzt, der verhindert hat, dass das Ventil schließen konnte. Somit hat das Heißwasser permanent getropft.

Aber jetzt geht‘s wieder, und es ist ein tolles Gefühl wieder etwas selbst repariert zu haben 🥳

Hey Masto,
Quelqu'un à déjà tenté l'expresso avec l'orgé ? (de l'orge torrefié : https://grainedebreton.bzh/categorie-produit/a-boire/orge/)

(Edit: PS: expresso avec machine à expresso tradi, #rancilio silvia par exemple)
