Are you ready to invest in your own cappuccino setup at home? Drinking Dispensers, fully automatic, super autos, and semi-automatic drinking dispensers have been considered, one of the most desired hot/cold beverage systems to privately own. This has been a running theme for a period of one hundred years; and counting... The technology age has set sights trending toward fancier, complex coffee drinking systems. Having the comfort of commercial coffee making machines (as seen in popular coffee shops), such as Starbuck's, Pete's Coffee and similar coffee chains - is not a mere dream these days. Some 2.25 billion cups of coffee are sipped every day. Therefore it isn't surprising, that owning a personal home coffee machine systems would be the answer for the busiest stay home mom to the savviest fortune 500 company CEO.
At bare minimum automated beverage systems offer owners the finest espresso machine, cappuccino machine, or latte machine. Complexly packaged in a single compact system that is fast but yet whisper quiet. There is no experience necessary to operate this coffee lover's mechanism to produce coffee drinks right at home or in the corporate office.
It is universally assumed that if you can afford the Ferrari of beverage systems, you should know better - to afford to fix it and certainly descale it. At the instance when that well maintained coffee machine leaks water all over the kitchen counter, make a foul tasting brew, create loud weird noises… You'll need a good coffee service and repair firm on speed dial: Service Repair Firm, AEG Service and Repair Firm, Krups Service and Repair Firm, Orchestro Service and Repair Firm, Siciliana Service and Repair Firm, Toscana Service and Repair Firm, Nespresso Service and Repair Firm, etc...
When a beverage system is screaming for repairs and the DIY lover would like to try a hand at doing some refurbishment, maintenance, or general repairs themselves and save a ton of money in the process, without parting with the coffee machine system. Repairing a poorly maintained coffee maker can definitely be very rewarding; both in terms of saving money and in the sense of accomplishment. That warm sensation that a technician experiences as she recognizes what's going on inside of that beverage system. Finding that aw moment in turning a funky cup of coffee into brown gold can be accomplished with the aid of the correct screwdriver. Without the proper screwdrivers to open, service, maintain, and repair - time and effort could be wasted. Not to mentioned it might end up costing more than time.
As with any DIY project remind yourself of the common sense risks. Due to the complexity of these coffee mechanisms, some repairs are just plain dangerous for the regular average Joe; even if the Joe or Jane is a very experienced DIYers. Before you buy any Newelectronx screwdriver repair tool set, ask yourself the following question. Which projects can I do myself and which are best suited for the service and repair coffee shop?
Most of the busiest coffee machines serving a variety of drinks require at the least about 4 different Torx screwdrivers. Semi-automatic and fully automatic coffee machines which make coffee at the push of a button may require additional hexagonal {unique screwdriver|Tamper proof) bits. Coffee machines that can deliver one or more than 1,000 different drink combinations in under a few seconds might also require a unique oval pan head security screwdriver. Screws such as this require a special driver tool. Those screwdriver are in the security-screwdriver-bit-set-102.
These oval pan head security screws are vandal Resistant two Way Reusable Security Screw Pan Head. Oval Pan Head Security Screws are available off the shelf in zinc plated steel and A4 stainless steel machine screw form. When removed with the oval pan head security screwdriver the oval pan head screws are re-usable.
The Oval Pan Head Security Screw on coffee machines has a unique head that requires our special matching driver to insert and remove. As its name states the head of the clever security screw is oval. The oval pan head is deceptive in appearance. To service repair personal, recycling facilities, DIY people, or the average Joe the vandal proof screw may look like a stud The oval shape enables the oval pan head security tool to grip the head and achieve adequate torque – resulting in successfully dismantling a drinking dispenser.
This unique feature renders the Oval Pan Head Security Screw tamper proof, reducing the vandals tampering the screws. The Oval Pan Head security screw is case hardened, which provides additional resistance to attack removal. This means your average needle nose plyers will offer a challenge in removal.
Due to the security drive design of the vandal resistant tamper Oval Pan Security machine screw it is suitable for low to medium torque applications and is a 2 way reusable screw. It's the ideal security fastener for applications where maintenance is required. The Oval Pan Security screw is only stocked in steel zinc plate and therefore ideal for coffee machines. Tamper Resistant Oval Pan machine screws can be used with security Wave Nuts, Shear Nuts, Kinmar Reusable Nuts, Kinmar Permanent Nuts, 4-Hole Nuts or Pin Torx Barrel Nuts for added security. That is why it is pertinent to acquire the right screwdriver for removal, such as the oval pan head screwdriver in the 102 set.

Repair Trends
DeLonghi - small single boilers (EC155, BAR32, EC270, ECO310BK)
Last 2 to 3 years
Descale every 3 to 4 months
- Machines are considered disposable, as DeLonghi technicians will replace lower end machines rather than repair them during their warranty
- Once it begins leaking or dripping, if it's worth fixing - have a screwdriver 102 set nearby
- Brew head gasket replacement
- Steam wand begins to drip
Saeco Aroma, Via Venezia, Starbucks Barista
Last up to 10 to 15 years
Descale every 3 to 4 months
Thoroughly clean the portafilter regularly
Panarello attachment needs to be regularly taken apart and cleaned.
- When steaming, water turns into vapor used to steam milk. The machine does not replace the water when steaming so make sure to refill the boiler with water to prevent burning it out
- Cases are made with metal materials and are very durable
- Brew head gasket replacement
- Portafilter and baskets may clog from oily beans
- Steam wand begins to drip
- Seals inside machine may wear from use
Saeco Sirena
Lasts up to 5 to 10 years
- Descale every 3 to 4 months
- Thoroughly clean the portafilter regularly, including removing the pressurization inserts
- Uses a brew boiler and a separate thermoblock system for steam, so steam is a little wetter
- Can lose its prime
- Thermoblock heating element isn't high grade so has a shorter lifespan than might be ideal
- Water reservoir sensor can fail, resulting in machine not sensing it has water and then not heating, etc.
Rancilio Silvia
Lasts up to 15 years
- Descale every 3 to 4 months
- Backflush regularly (every 1 - 4 weeks, depending on usage)
- Must ensure you're steaming correctly to mitigate any long term damage to the boiler
- Highly durable, commercial-grade components
- If not steaming correctly (i.e. steaming and not refilling the boiler) there's a good chance that it may last 6 months to a year
- If steaming and using boiler correctly but not descaling or backflushing it will last 3 to 5 years until something goes wrong and it will need parts replacement
- Brew head gasket and screens will need to be switched out (depending on use)
- V2 & V3 models feature a chromed plastic cover around the brew head, which can peel over time and require replacement; this repair involves taking apart the machine. It can become expensive if you don't own your own screwdriver set
- If not steaming correctly, boiler performance may degrade over time due to heating element damage
Rocket Espresso
Last about 10 to 20 years
- Descale every 3 to 4 months
- Backflush regularly (every 1 - 4 weeks depending on usage)
- Will need seals and gasket changed every 3 to 5 years
- Considered a -prosumer- machine due to high end, professional grade components
- High quality polished stainless steel casing that is very durable
- Chassis is powder coated steel so there is some theoretical concern that it could degrade/rust over time, however we have yet to see evidence of this
- Brew head gasket and screen will need to be replaced over use
- All seals in the E61 brew head, vacuum valve seal, overpressure seal, expansion valve seal (anything that is sealed) will commonly wear down over time and need to be replaced
- Water sensor probe may fail if there is scale build up and will allow boiler to overfill and over pressurize; this is a fairly easy fix that most owners can perform on their own
Delonghi Superautos
Last about 5 years
- Descale every 3 - 4 months
- Regularly remove the brew group and clean thoroughly
- Clean all components regularly
- Older one-touch models don't get the milk hot enough for some people; newer models perform better -- if milk temp is important to you, choosing a model with a steam wand is your best bet
- Build quality has improved in the newer generation of machines; older models such as the 3300/3500 and 6600/6700 lack some of the more fine-tuned fit & finish of the newer models
- Brew group is not removable when the unit is on, limiting mid-cycle removal and related errors
- Seals are not available as individual parts, so if the seals in the boiler degrade, the entire boiler must be replaced; similarly, if the seals in the steam wand degrade, the entire steam assembly has to be replaced
- Automatic frothing machine steam outlets for milk container will degrade over time
- Grinder and brew unit will start to clog when using oily beans
Saeco Superautos
Last about 5 - 7 years
- Descale every 3 - 4 months
- Remove brew group and clean thoroughly every 1 - 2 weeks
- Using cleaning tablets on machines with a bi-pass doser will thoroughly clean the brew group's screen without removal
- Do not use dark roasted/oily beans
- Fit and finish of the machines is generally good, but varies depending on the price class (ie. the Vienna's casing materials are not very high grade while the Syntia/Exprelia/Xelsis series are highly durable stainless steel)
- Saeco's grinders grind more finely than other superautos and their sensors are more sensitive; therefore, these are not ideal machines for those that like dark roasted/oilier beans
- Seals and hoses will rupture over time because of the heat
- Grinder and brew unit can clog from coffee bean oils
Jura Superautos
Last about 5 - 7 years
- Descale when prompted (based on water hardness setting + cup count)
- Perform brew unit/internal cleaning when prompted (based on cup count)
- Steam wands on some models require more cleaning/maintenance to work well than some customers would like to do
- One-touch milk frothing achieves okay milk temperatures, sometimes not hot enough for those that order their lattes in a cafe as extra hot
- Fit & finish on Jura machines is excellent - durable materials and well though-out design
- Because brew group is not removable and cleaning is required, we see more customers using the screwdriver set (with oval pan head screwdriver) to maintenance-related issues with these machines
- Coffee outlet shoots can clog up over time so coffee will begin to overflow inside of the machine instead of through dispensers
- Since the brew unit cannot be removed without a oval pan head screwdriver, the machine may have to be serviced by Jura's techs every so often
- Machine is designed for special repair tools, so home repair is an option with the security-screwdriver-bit-set-102
- Jura does not offer certified repair centers, only their main location in the eastern US, so you must work with them directly for any warranty and non-warranty repair for the life of the machine or alternatively service the Jura system with the security-screwdriver-bit-set-102
