Have to say this is a great video. I have looked for something like this for years. All your infor camera work to show what your doing is great. Great Video!!
Great video and write up, I just followed this video to rebuild my E-61. From looking at my parts it didn't need it but hey preventative maintenance never hurted anything! Thanks for a great video to follow!
Berry Tree Coffee Roasters Hi! I just went through the whole procedure. And I have Put it all together. But I have a problem. The so-called exorcist does not build up any pressure. And is therefore draining water through the whole brewing process. What could I have done wrong? Maybe I did something wrong in the assembly process? I would be so glad to get a tip:)!!!
Thanks for this, I was stuck with getting the cam back in even though I had it the right way round. After watching you do it it went in with a little bit of a fiddle. Next time I'll follow your instructions and strip and clean the whole group :)
The "hardest part" can be done easily. Put the bottom most exhaust valve on while the upper exhaust and housing is off the machine. Then put the whole part on in one piece (discovered by accident tonight!)
Great video. Appreciate you sharing. Have been so struggling to get the mushroom housing screw to start. Have just spent an hour trying to get it to engage. Cleaned the threads multiple times is there a trick to getting this to screw on that I have missed
Do you recommend putting the lubricant directly on the lobe of the cam? Also, when you clean the mushroom, do you have chrome flaking that occurs during and after brushing lightly?
Thanks for a great tutorial! I tried everything you did here, but no water is coming out of the exhaust valve when closing the lever. Its been like this for 6 months now, is it a scaling problem og gasket problem or something third?
I was trying to replace the cam lever gaskets. However, when trying to reinsert the cam, I could not get it to "snap" into place between the upper and lower pins. Is there any "trick" I could use? I am about to fix the damn thing with a sledge hammer.
hey, i saw when they put the manometer on top of that 22mm socket screw, but I don't know the size of the screw itself....what could it be? the socket is 22, screw maybe 18-19mm?
If i have a slow leak coming from the lever shaft when pulling a shot, do I need to do everything you list here or just knock out a replacement of the gaskets on the lever? thank you! sending you an email with my machine info!
How often do you think you'd need to do something like this? My old espresso machine (not an e61 type, but a smaller boiler machine with a PID and thermoblock for steam) lasted over 10 years, without any maintenance, I think the only issue I had was leaky steam wand tip (a new gasket fixed that) I may have also replaced the group head gasket at one point but not sure. It still never died or anything, I just sold it.
Are each of the three springs equal and interchangeable? After reassembly, when purging with a blank, there is a pressure relief and water flows from the lower group. Likewise, when brewing; overflow gets released thru the lower group.
It needs to be safe for "food contact" and meet the heat limits of steam. In the US these are rated as H1, not sure if this would be the same in Australia.
Thank you for your video. I have a Lelit PL62T coffee maker with PID. And when I turn it on the blue light on the boiler does not come on. I was told it was because it was scaled. I was told that it was not difficult to descale. Can you confirm this? Do you have a video for this? Thank you.
Hi,have you ever had issues with the springs inside the group wearing off and becoming super sharp at the ends ?I ordered new ones after not even a year of use .I wonder if we actually drink the particles that come off the springs ,they look chopped off at the ends, and if you swipe your finger across it you could cut yourself ?!
Having a hell of a time threading the piece back in with the "bulbous" part. I have the bulbous piece facing toward the front as I can readily see where it fits in. Can't get it to begin to thread in. It's a Profitec Pro 700 and only about 8 months old. I've worked on it before by replacing the top valve of the E61 with no problem. I keep it clean and only took this part to inspect. It barely needed any cleaning. Any tips?
I just followed your video and replaced all internal gaskets like you did. Everything worked great except that now I am hearing buzzing noise coming out of the grouphead when activate the lever. Have you experienced that?
I can't thank you enough for this great video. I always like videos that skipped details for the sake of time but with yours, all details were essential. Thanks again. P.S. I'm changing my diffuser but it's hard to get out. I don't wanna damage the thread/groove, any suggestion?
First remove the old group gasket. If it is hard and brittle it may take a bit of effort. Often we use a pick to stab into the old gasket to pull out. Another trick is to place blue painters tape on the bottom of the edges of the group to protect the chrome and pry with a slotted screw driver. We suggest replacing the brew gasket every 6 months and lubing well with dow111. When followed on this schedule the screen usually comes out with minimal effort. You will also be amazed at how much coffee gunk can build up in this time, even with proper backflushing. If you pull shots with more nuanced coffees, this gunk can have a huge flavor impact.
@@Veniacoffeeroaster It seemed like they were asking about the dispersion screw? I also had a bit of difficulty and gave up, though I intended to make a tool to fit the groove and take the screw out when the machine is hot
I have a Rocket espresso Giotto from 2004 - water tank model/vibration pump - model with half moon pressure gauge. This machine has not been used for the last 14 years or so I turned the machine on and all appeared to be fine (I did not pull a shot) Then I checked steam wand (was fine) and then hot water nozzle and it was fine and the water was coming out of it but then after that the machine wanted to collect the water from the tank to the boiler which of course is normal But despite the noise (rather louder than I would expect knowing rockets) nothing was happening. It kept making noise and the pump was working but now water was collected and the sound did not stop until I turned the machine off. What could be wrong with the machine?
John Robison At your usage you will likely not have any need for 2-3 years, although it is dependent on how often you back-flush and quality of your water. If everything operates smoothly, you don't notice any leaks or drips, and you have normal flow rate of water, you probably don't need to replace internal gaskets in your brewgroup.
***** This is merely in place to cover the hole made in the milling process to produce the water passage from the brew-valve to the brew head. There is no need to take it out unless you suspect a blockage.
Thank you for this perfect video! Please, let me ask you for any help. I bougt used E61 group maschine and the water goes always through the group. When I've followed your video and disassambled the group, I've noticed that whten the paw is in the middle position, the upper valve in the group is a little bit shifted up. So when I put the paw down, it opens the lower valve. So the water goes always through. The gaskets seems to be ok. Do you have any idea? Thank you very much for your help and time!
It sounds like the lower portion isn't sealing properly. Even if gaskets look good, they may not be functioning properly and they're cheap anyways. Did you ever get this figured out? I'm curious what the fix was
@@MattM-24 Hi, thanks for your answer. The problem was solved, the is ok, but the position needs to be in bottom. My second maschine from ECM has the position in the middle. Very simple :-)
Hi here were i live there aren't good espresso machine technicians I have a problem with my E61 (2groups 1968 refurbished) everything works perfectly but the water level indicator (the one with the little floater inside) never goes down also if the machine is almost empty no matter what thecreal water leve isDo you have any suggestion on what i can do? I really can't find a good technician who can work on it, i had one he was the best but he retired 😥
Hi i have schaerer coffee joy coffee machine and it is giving me trouble call ( heating up timeout steam level) do you know what's the problem? Regards
Inspect the gicleur, hold up to the light. If you can see scale or debris we suggest soaking in a decalcifying agent or distilled vinegar. We don't recommend trying to use something to ream through the hole as this often widens the opening causing too high of flow through. You can contact us with your machine details and we can find an appropriate replacement for you.
That 7 year old video was really helpful to me spiffing up my Profitec 700 group head. About changing the valve gaskets, since only one side is acting as a seal, does it matter if you turn the gasket around and place the unused, flat side to control flow? Logic tells me it's ok. Is it? Thank you for this very educative video.

I let my rocket cellini evoluzione sit for a year or so and now I can't get water out of the group. The group has never been taken apart until now searching for the problem. I pulled the top of the group apart and descaled everything, watch the water come up and out but back together and no joy. Any ideas?
Anvarshan, not sure exactly what you are asking for. If you have a specific machine and model, most manufacturers have manuals and technical diagrams available. As there are thousands of different machines on the market, I would suggest you contact the place of purchase or the manufacturer for this info.
Hi folks, I'm in uk and have just heard a pop in the area of pressure dial on the left side of my Giotto rocket evoluzione, tripped the mains. Replaced fuse and switched on, now light comes on but no sounds or pressure, any ideas?
You need to take the electrical leads off the pump and measure with a meter (when you would expect the pump to be running). If there is voltage there, then you need a new motor/pump. If no voltage there, then you have to figure out why. If your machine has a low water shut off, make sure that is not the cause.
If your machine caused a ground fault we highly recommend taking to a qualified repair tech. If you are in the Seattle area we are happy to take a look.
Great video. Is there a place where I could order the FULL gasket/ jet screen kit so I can replace everything at once without forgetting to order a part?

Yeah that's a good idea. I've also seen someone working with a wrench that looked like it had a plastic head on it, or just a plastic top layer.

Great video Berry. One question, what’s that lubricant you are using?
It's Called Dow Molycote 111. By Dow Corning Company. I Bought Mine On Amazon.
So I assume it's a food grade lubricant
is it possible to put the cam back in the wrong way with the lobe facing towards the machine? (19.25 part on the vid)
It should go in without much effort. If you feel like you have to force it, it is likely in the incorrect position.
Did you manipulate the gicleur at any point?
