Weight Weenie Posted March 2, 2021 Share Howzit guys Some input from those with knowledge of the Oscar V1 would be appreciated. Seems that once the pump is activated, there is water leaking somewhere, which then accumulates below the removable drip tray. When the machine was on but unused, there was no such water present, soon as I used it this morning same thing again. I used to turn the machine on to use it and then turn it off again, but it started to the trip the power when the pump activated for a few seconds while brewing. I started to leave the machine on and dry up the water after each brew, which seems to have stopped the power tripping issue at least. However near the end of the extraction the pump is also starting to make a different sound I'm not used to now, hard to describe, almost like it's pumping and stopping and so on, instead of one long pump during extraction if that makes sense. Machine is about 6 years old and has been in to 9bar for some other issues before like steam leaks, last was about 5 to 6 months ago. Any idea what the issue may be or how I can check/troubleshoot it? Keeping in mind I'm not a very mechanically minded person Thanks in advance!WW.

Alouette3 Posted March 3, 2021 Share My old 80's style Gaggia Coffee is very tired, boiler to steam valve keeps blowing seals as the corrosion on the boiler is pretty bad after all these years. Been sitting idle since last week, then couldn't believe my luck when a bare bones but frame but still with an absolute mint boiler and internals pops up on Gumtree! R350 later, my Gaggia Coffee is getting a heart transplant and now becomes a full blown Gaggia Classic, finally with solenoid valves and steam switch. Very happy camper!

PlemPlem Posted March 11, 2021 Share I'm looking to buy a coffee making machine but don't know much about them.Could anyone please give me some advice on brands and what I should look out for in terms of their offering.Ideally I want a "foamer" included and obviously one that can change the strength of the coffee.My budget would be around R2500.Nespresso and get the little generic capsules. Lots of different flavours!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
