I remember when purchasing the machine from Clive Coffee, the guy told me that after 5 years, I'd want to ship it back to them to have them desca...

Hot Water Tap Leak

So I have a Mini II (3yr old) that started dripping water from the hot water tap. I placed a glass under it last night and would say I got about an ounce of water within 12 hours. So my question is, before I start tearing it apart, is this a common issue and do you know what it probably is? Thanks f...

Re: Mini II Steam Boiler Overheat [FIXED]

Good point Chas, The guy at CCS instructed me to not wrap the teflon tape around the threads and instead above the threads so it forms more of a new gasket. As for the probe itself, it was a newer one, about 1/2" in total length. The original one I pulled out did not have any scale buildup or d...

Re: Mini II Steam Boiler Overheat [FIXED]

UPDATE: New temp probe installed. Back to normal! Chas your help is greatly appreciated! I did notice that a new probe from Chris Coffee does not include the gasket.
