From one-touch super-automatics to dual-boiler espresso machines, our technicians diagnose and repair the premium coffee machines Seattle-area home baristas rely on. Leaks, low pressure, no heat, jammed grinders and error codes, fixed by a local team that explains the cost before any work starts.
Pick one to see the brands and repairs that apply.
Espresso machines work in different ways, and each type fails in its own ways. Find your machine type and brand below to see what we work on.
One-touch, bean-to-cup machines that grind, tamp, brew and froth milk for you. Typical repairs: brewing units, grinders, milk systems, flow meters, sensors and error codes.
Single-boiler, heat-exchanger and dual-boiler machines for home baristas who pull their own shots. Typical repairs: boilers, heating elements, pumps, PID controllers, pressurestats, solenoid valves, group gaskets and steam wands.
Café-quality machines scaled for the home kitchen, with saturated groups, rotary pumps and precise temperature control. Typical repairs: rotary pumps, boilers, elements, gaskets, valves and electronics.
Plumbed-in and wall-mounted coffee machines from the luxury kitchen brands we already service every day. Typical repairs: brewing units, water connections, pumps, grinders and control boards.
Don't see your brand? We also work on Philips, Lavazza, Expobar, Quick Mill and more. Just ask when you book.
Most espresso machine failures come down to a handful of parts. Find your symptom to see what usually causes it. If a descaling or cleaning message is showing, run that program first.
Unstable brew temperature, a failing thermostat or PID, worn grinder burrs or a tired brewing unit.
A weak or failed pump, scale blocking lines, a stuck solenoid valve or a clogged shower screen.
A worn group gasket, loose fittings, cracked hoses, boiler seals or a leaking brewing unit.
A burned-out heating element or thermoblock, a tripped thermal fuse, or a faulty pressurestat or sensor.
Blocked steam tips, scale in the steam boiler, a leaking steam valve or a clogged milk system.
Debris in the beans, worn burrs, a slipping adjustment or a failing grinder motor.
On super-automatics, usually a sensor, the brewing unit drive, the flow meter or a control board.
An empty or airlocked water path, a worn vibratory pump, or loose mounts.
A blown thermal fuse, a failed power switch, a faulty control board or a wiring fault.
Missed descaling cycles narrow pipes and valves and coat heating elements. We clear blockages and replace damaged parts.
Whatever the symptom, the fix usually involves one of these components.

“Two espresso repair places said they couldn't work on it but Al took it without a second thought.”
Premium espresso machines are built to be serviced, and most failures come down to replaceable parts. Here's how we help you decide.
Not sure which side you're on? We diagnose the machine and give you a clear quote first. If a repair isn't worth it, we'll tell you.
A few simple habits prevent many of the repairs we see.
Follow your manufacturer's descaling interval, or use their recommended water filter. Seattle's tap water is relatively soft, but scale still builds up over time.
Backflush semi-automatic machines as your manual recommends, and rinse super-automatic brewing units regularly.
Purge and wipe the steam wand after every use, and run the milk cleaning program on super-automatics.
Group gaskets and shower screens wear out. Replacing them before they leak protects the rest of the machine.

It depends on the machine and the part that has failed. A gasket replacement costs far less than a new pump or boiler work. We diagnose the problem first and give you a clear quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
For premium and prosumer machines, usually yes. Most failures come down to replaceable parts like pumps, valves, gaskets and heating elements. If the repair would cost close to a new machine, we'll tell you honestly.
We repair super-automatic bean-to-cup machines, semi-automatic and prosumer espresso machines, commercial-grade machines used at home, and built-in coffee systems.

Many common repairs are quick once we've diagnosed the problem. If a part needs to be ordered for your model, we'll tell you the expected timing along with your quote.
Follow your manufacturer's schedule, or use the water filter they recommend. Seattle's tap water is relatively soft, but minerals still build up over time and are one of the most common causes of the problems we fix.
Often, yes. We've repaired machines other shops wouldn't take on. Tell us the brand and model and we'll let you know if we can help.
