askthecoffeeguy the brass valve has sheered off in the brew head and Sunbeams sending a new one gratis (great customer service again I say thanks) any ideas how I get the old one out? P

derrilex Ahh the old easyout eh. Real prick when they snap off but I doubt you would have that drama with brass.
UNM If you need to borrow my easyout set, let me know since I'll be passing by foxy brown friday anyway. As AM said a file will work, so will an appropriate sized hex or torx key from a set of screwdriver bits.
askthecoffeeguy Thanks guys its definitely an EM6900 as it says so on the back and the good folks at Sunbeam are sending a replacement part free of charge gee its good to put this baby to bed - I know its not finished yet but analysing the problem means that I'm on my way to fixing it the steam pressure is good and the volumetrics are working properly and there's very little lag in the warm up time I know its early days and an old machine - but I'm impressed with both the build quality and the design features - it just seems like a very well made machine which appears to have a lot of thought and attention to detail put into the end product (my reservations about the longevity of thermoblocs aside that is) but with regular maintenance it seems to me that it should last awhile what were the design improvements between the em6900 build and the em6910 build? and are there any design faults / maintenance issues I should be aware of? Cheers, PaT
