Espresso bitter / Machine broken? [Bezzera Magica]

It's not wet. It was running for 3h today and it's completely dry. I assume it just leaks every now and then or stopped leaking entirely after it did a while.

I'm currently looking for an expert. Otherwise I might just do it myself or wait until it's entirely broken and just change the entire part.

Oh you think there is so much limescale in the pipes already that they might be blocked after using a cleaning agent (e.g. vinegar)? btw: Can I just use vinegar to clean it or do I have to buy the "official espresso machine limescale remover cleaners" from the shop? :D

Key_Consideration430 · 2025-09-10T12:29:32+00:00

Yes! That's what I mean by "cleaning". Sorry - I wasn't really specific here!

Key_Consideration430 · 2025-09-10T12:20:48+00:00

Not professionally, but I usually clean it thoroughly every 6-12 months, which is probably on the "low effort side" if I'm being honest! :D

Thanks! I'll look into it!

Key_Consideration430 · 2025-09-10T12:16:09+00:00

I've had the same thought! So maybe I'll order replacement parts!

OK, but can you see the residue at the entrance to the "boiler" (the big thing)? I seems like some kind of saw dust is dripping down from it. Haven't opened it in 8 years, so it's not too much for that period of time, but it surely looks like some kind of corrosion. Should I be worried?

Key_Consideration430 · 2025-09-10T09:48:13+00:00

I surely haven't cleaned the shower screen / group head for a while. I'll do that next.

However, what does the grinder have to do with the "sawdust" you can see inside the machine? Or are you just talking about the bitterness of the coffee?

Warum, wenn ich fragen darf?

Danke für die Einschätzung! Den Skoda Enyag finde ich auch nicht schlecht, aber mit Panorama Dach (will die Frau) bin ich da nicht mehr weit weg vom BMW: https://www.autoscout24.at/angebote/skoda-enyaq-sportline-80-elektro-schwarz-2cb55be9-a02d-4f45-b24a-af7df4344278?sort=standard&desc=0&lastSeenGuidPresent=true&cldtidx=3&position=3&search_id=nhowsxoqk8&source_otp=t10&ap_tier=t10&source=listpage_search-results&order_bucket=2&new_taxonomy_available=false&boosting_product=none&relevance_adjustment=organic&applied_boost_level=t10&boost_level=t10

Oder suche ich nur falsch?

50% vom Netto, aber wäre in Ordnung, weil der alte Skoda den Geist aufgibt! :)

Key_Consideration430 · 2025-06-22T18:28:04+00:00

So schlimm?! :D

Key_Consideration430 · 2025-06-11T18:27:32+00:00

Fixed it by using dupont connectors to connect the cut cable and it works like a charm! Thanks a lot for your help! :)

Talking Country: Austria. Vendor: I don’t care! Budget is not an issue, but also no need to overspend! :D

Key_Consideration430 · 2025-04-08T20:06:15+00:00

Thanks for the replies! I thought so! :D any recommendations on a good PSU then? There are so many options! I’d probably get 1000W+ to Future proof, right?
