Vesuvius Pressure Profiling Machine - General Discussion

John_Yossarian absolutely, coffee is great and that’s the main thing !

Only asked as mine always perfectly matched and only recently started noticing the difference.

prezes I would swap out the gauge on the group or get it re calibrated if I was worried or curious..?

I think I got to the bottom of this. This morning noticed the group gauge is sitting at around 0.5 bar when not brewing. I was sure I had a photo from last year to check if it was always like this and it wasn’t so definitely issue with gauge. Anything I can do about it or is it replacement only ?

prezes you can get a replacement at The Espresso Shop. Part # 5530011

Do you need that gauge there?

I don’t at all but as it’s there it is bothering me ever so slightly being out !

I know what the issue is which is the main thing so might get rid or learn to live with it. I don’t think I’ll be replacing it

Was that stock? I thought they had a grub screw in there?

Cuprajake No I added this on so got the grub screw

prezes - time for the grub screw to go back in then…

Problem with redundancy of instruments (which one do you trust, and are they calibrated) or essentially “useless” ones. For instance, yes, you have the pressure measured on the group… but you don’t need it, nor can you influence it. If you had a flow control valve (like the Bianca) then I understand the need of the pressure gauge.

• Hi Dave,

My machines been rock solid for the past 5-6 years however it has just started buzzing when I pull the lever down… coffee still comes out but definitely doesn’t sound right..

Any idea what it is and where to get replacement part if needed.

Can’t seem to attach a video can I email it to you for your review?

Cheers Doug

DavecUK hey Dave found another thread where you said it was HX solenoid, (turned HX off and it stopped) my machines plumbed in so little tough to see exactly where it’s coming from.

Do you have a pic of said solenoid and how is best way of cleaning it??

Cheers

Hey Dave, here is a short video.

Ok I will have a look soon.

I have school holidays with guests in the house will it be ok to leave for a couple weeks until house is back to normal?

Thanks

dougyea Yup one thing, check weather preheat is on or off, if preheat is on, switch it off and see if the noise stops.

If preheat is off then you know that it’s not the preheat solenoid but the auto fill solenoid.
