Which machine is on your counter?
Step-by-step repair guides for Italian espresso machines, written in Italy by people who take them apart. Find your model, find the fault, find the right part.
The counter starts when the shop opens. Every part sold for a working repair adds one.
Start from your machine
Six families to begin with. Each page tells you how to recognise your version, which faults are typical and which parts fit.
Latest guides
Every guide names the exact part, the tools, the time it takes and the point where you should stop and call a technician.
Why a site from Italy for your machine
Almost every component in a Gaggia, a Rancilio, a Lelit or a Rocket is made within two hours of our workshop: pumps from Trivolzio, filter baskets from Pavia, valves from Milan. We know who makes them, and we can get the original.
Big distributors sell to technicians who already know the part code. We write for the person who owns the machine and knows only that it drips. Repairing a 15-year-old Silvia is cheaper than replacing it, and keeps 7 kg of steel and brass out of the bin.
Original parts We name the manufacturer's code and show the part, so you can check it against what is in your machine.
Right to repair EU Directive 2024/1799 protects independent repair. Coffee machines are not yet on its list; we think they should be.
Shop opening 2027 Until then, every guide links to trusted dealers. Join the list to be told when the first kits ship from Bra.
One repair tip a month, from the workshop
No offers, no noise. A short note on what breaks, what to check, and which part fixes it. You also hear first when the shop opens.
