Had a good day making and fixing. My daughter brought her espresso machine over because it had stopped esspressing, after undoing about a million screws I finally found the four screws that you actually needed to undo to get to the guts and found a very obvious cause. The pressure relief pipe from the steamer had come undone, probably because it was clogged with gunk, and the steam and water had corroded the contacts on the pump. I was able to grind back the metal and plastic enough to give me a chance to solder on a lead and new spade terminal. Then I unclogged the steam pipe, and it's working perfectly. Kinda surprised how simple the workings of an espresso machine are TBH. Next, the 3D printer that I got for fiddy bucks on farcebook marketplace 1/2
