After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.

Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

La Cimbali M27 basic 2 group coffee machine

edited January 1970 in Espresso Machines
Dear Coffee Lovers,
I have machine (as above) and wonderful Italian engineering with serious durability a big plus.
The main power switch has three positions 0 (off) 1(presumably low heat position) 2 (high heating setting).
I've had this machine operating successfully for some time now,connected to rain water tank and single phase 240volt power 32amps.
My question is ,are there any users of this model that are successfully able to energise the machine using position 1?
When ever I position the switch to 1,all I get is brew/steam and pump operation but only until boiler temperature drops below thermostat setting,every thing then stops working below that setting!
Some information please.
Always works correctly on position 2.
Cheers
Mick

  • Your M27 is operating correctly - that's exactly what's the two switch positions are supposed to do.  1 is for pumps only, two gives you pumps and heating. If you have a standard element it should be drawing around 15amps. There are English copies of the manual floating around online for this machine.
  • borat123, I've just re-read my original post,I said I had no pumping (brewing) when switch was on position one (1)....I should have said ,yes pumping/steaming and brewing etc with out heating however,once thermostat senses temperature drops below set point then only pumping/brewing available. Thanks for the clarification and confirmation my machine is working fine. Cheers Mick
  • Dear La Cimbali users, I need to replace the two group head seals (gaskets) ,I haven't removed the old one yet,can anyone confirm whether the replacements should be conical or flat faced seals as I see two types could suit this group head set? Cheers, Mick.
