Err Hi! My ears are burning ??? 🙂 did someone mention me? Welcome to Crema Dawn. This is a great forum. Dawn, we know a good number of members here by our first names, it's a good, clean and close knit community here. As you can see, a number of regulars at CS are also here. OK now, I still have the "thing" languishing in the background, with the Rancilio "Miss" Silvia being the workhorse and trouble free relationship for this year and the second half of last year. Mine is working minus the steaming which has gone south. If you want professional results, go to Coffee Classic in Hilton, which is near Fremantle. They will also check, service and descale your machine thoroughly. They are in the white pages directory. I got mine done through them a while back, and have been happy with their work. Now that the steam has died, i will consider getting it fixed ( and i don;t think it's something i can fix) and then getting it sent to my mum's so that she can enjoy coffee made by me the next time i'm in Dongara. Sorry i'm not as proficient as AM in problem solving. For cases like these, i try to solve first , then when it gets too hard, get pros to fix. In the meantime, you're welcome to have a look at my machine and run them side by side, and perhaps get you into the dark side,which is roasting your own beans :thumb: Gary at G
