niko asked:


As a parting gesture, my weeklong houseguest washed the dishes and immersed the “do not immerse in water” bottom part of my coffee maker. Now it won’t work when I set it on the little button on it’s stand. will it dry out and work again or is it trash?

irishbarfight asked:


My husband bought me one of these guys for Christmas two years ago, and I used it every day for about a month..then put it away…never to be heard from again until today lol. I remember reading in its instruction manual that a once-a-month cleaning is necessary to keep it working great..but i can’t find the manual..and i don’t remember HOW it said to clean it. I usually use watered down white vinegar on my regular coffee maker, but I’m not sure if I can use it on this. If I can, how does it work, do i just let it process through like its brewing espresso? how do I clean the inside of the steam wand? I’d really like to use it again this evening, if at all possible.
Lon, you need to start leaving more than just 1 or 2 word answers to questions, and not just random words that don’t make sense to the question just to get points. Please show some respect.

robby lim asked:


I just got my new espresso machine yesterday but i am having a few problems with it. whenever i make my espresso at home, i noticed that the ground coffee is always soaking wet whenever i remove it from the machine. from what i know, it should be dry and when i discard it, it should be intact and should fall out in one piece. i don’t know why but mine’s been really soggy and wet. Does anyone know how to fix this? it would really be of great help :) thanks!

What should I use to protect my electrical appliances in a developing country?

cant figure it out asked:


I am in Ecuador, with American appliances. Current here is 110v like in the US. I don’t know if I should use a surge protector or a voltage regulator. Electricity here goes on and off regularly and several people have had small heating appliances (coffee makers, hair dryers, etc.) break down… I have an expensive espresso machine and would die if it broke down!
