The ratchet table is the key to the satisfying click! Thank you so much

Valve assembly onto the post, minute 7 to 7.30: I could't get the satisfying click, I was pressing so damn hard. My solution was to put the valve assembly for a minute in very hot water, that made the plastic smoother and that's how it worked finally. Thanks so much for your video, Kody. I would have never tried to do the replacement of the broken parts without your fantastic instruction.

THANKS MUCH, this was a great help. The red gasket on my portafilter was breaking up, so I decided to rebuild the portafilter. On my unit, the valve was HARD to install. I could not push it down. I filed around the top edge of the nipple to create a slight taper, so the valve could more easily slide onto the nipple. It was easier, but still hard. If I had a proper size socket, I would have used that to push down on the 4 "fingers" to get the valve down. I forgot how to align the unit into the handle. Your video saved the day. Portafilter works fine now.

Really helpful. Without this video I wouldn't have been able to install a repair kit I found online for 10 EUR. The only thing I did differently was the coupling of the white valve and the dark cover over the metal part. I used a socket like you, but more like an anvil, hammering carefully the valve with the ratchet extension, using only the screwdriver wasn't enough.

Thanks - exact detail we needed! Following rebuild of the portafilter mechanism I clean the basket holes on a regular basis. Amazing how many of the holes get clogged. ALSO! I just noticed there is a similar sieve screen above the portafilter and it removes with a single philips-head screw using a stubby screwdriver to get in the tight space. Holy hand grenade was that filthy and clogged. MAJOR difference after my first cleaning of that piece.

Repair kits on eBay from Bulgaria seem to be the cheapest source. Less than AU$30 delivered. While I wait I can still make coffee without the mechanism but no smooth 'crema' on top.

@geniusequipment4 жыл бұрын
Hi Juan, thank you for your question! The spring essentially pressurizes the water flowing through the coffee and it helps with producing more crema. If you prefer a lot of crema, that pin piece would need to be replaced.

Nice instructions and video. Some of the close ups were not that clear, but by pausing the video before the close up I was able to see what you meant. I know it takes time, but post production editing could make the trick! :) One comment/question: Why changing the valve? I mean, doesn't the springs are the ones that controls the opening of the valve when the correct pressure is reached? I would argue changing the plastic is just to avoid cleaning it up (or when it is actually broken), but the springs are the most important items related to the pressure.. no?
@eugenioadiletta89556 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your message and for the constructive criticism. This will help us to improve. Regarding your question of why to replace the valve when the springs are the one controlling the pressure. Truthfully if the springs are gone it's time to replace the plastic valve. In our case the plastic valve had a lot of build up and replacement was really needed. In the case someone doesn't want to open it they can do a cleaning cycle but if the issue is not resolved with the cleaning cycle the opening and doing what we show is the best way to go about it.

All my parts are right in place and the machanism works well perhaps when I place the screws there is a sligth flotting of the handle like if the screws are not tight anough but they are tight and I can see that it cannot go further. I align the handle as showed. Is it possible that the big spring is now too soft? I hope my question is clear since I am Francophone.
