SCG How-To Guides: Rancilio Commercial Espresso Machine Installation

[@FashionBiff]

First off I love SCG videos, I have learned a lot setting up my wife's little coffee station. I need to correct you with your wiring of the machine, you need to use the clamp on the back of the cord cap to secure the insulation (black wire covering) to form a strain relief so you do not pull on the connections. The wires inside the cord are not designed to be clamped by themselves they need the outer sheath and insulating fibers to protect them. This is a code requirement and meant to prevent damage to the connections, loose wires and you even said it fires.

You too are hilarious!! You both work so great together 🎉🎉

Thank you

Great video straight to the point and easy to follow 👍

The way you terminated the 240v plug is hazardous. The wires in the rubber jacket are not intended to be exposed.

Great video. Did you guys set up a softener for this machine? Or just purifier?

[@insall57]

Don't you need a water pressure regulator for this unit?

[@samseyna]

Hi can you please make a video on how to prime a commercial espresso machine?

[@ozgeno]

thank you this helped a lot!

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

+ozgeo You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!

Would plumbing in a home machine with that option follow similar steps to what is shown here (minus the need to wire a plug)? Do you have a video planned to demonstrate plumbing in a home machine, or have you already done one?

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

We don't have a video, but the basic idea is the same, just different sizes for the components. You would need a machine that allows you to plumb. - Steven

hey, do you guys know anything about la cimbali machines? I found a junior at a thrift store that claims to not work fully and I need a project for a month or so, think it would be worth a try for $100?

American pipe threading? Do you mean NPT?

[@brandons1872]

Don't you have to have water pressure adjustment installed? I heard if pressure is too strong, it will damage the machine.
