Most of us love the tantalising aroma of fresh coffee in the morning. So, when your coffee machine is on the blink, it makes for a very sad start to the day.
The Bravo Repair team is a fan of robust morning coffees, which makes us fans of reliable coffee machines. But what do you do when your joyful percolator stops working as it should?
Here are some common issues and the professional solutions to ensure you never miss your caffeine fix.
Overheating and Burnt Taste
First up, is the problem of overheating, which can result in a burnt or bitter taste. This is usually due to a malfunctioning thermostat or sensor. Overheating can be caused by the heating element in your coffee machine not being regulated correctly. This negatively affects the taste and the machine’s longevity. Professional servicing easily identifies and fixes these faulty components.
According to a survey conducted by Coffee Statistics, over 30% of coffee machine users experience overheating at some point, making it a widespread issue. Regular maintenance can prevent such problems, giving you a consistently great brew.
Water Leakage and Inconsistent Pressure
If you notice water pooling around your coffee machine or experience inconsistent pressure during brewing, there are two possible culprits:worn-out seals or blockages in the internal tubing. This problem can lead to more severe damage if left unchecked, causing electrical faults or even complete machine failure.
The Bravo service technicians can disassemble the machine, identify the leakage’s root cause and replace or repair the affected parts. This prevents future leaks and ensures your machine operates efficiently. With a detailed inspection, they can also clear any blockages, maintaining proper water flow and pressure.
Grinder Malfunctions and Inconsistent Coffee Grounds
A grinder malfunction can make or break your coffee’s flavour. Grounds that are too fine or coarse disrupt the extraction process, leaving you with an unsatisfactory cup. The problem could be dull blades or mechanical issues within the grinder.
A machine service would include inspecting the grinder mechanism, sharpening or replacing blades and calibrating the settings to ensure the right consistency.
A study shows that poorly ground coffee affects flavour more than any other brewing factor. Professional servicing ensures your grinder performs optimally, preserving the taste and aroma of your coffee.
Scale Build-Up and Slow Performance
Calcium and mineral build-up, or scale, is another common issue that can slow down your coffee machine’s performance and cause complete failure. Scale deposits restrict water flow and reduce heating efficiency, which affects your brew’s quality.
Descaling is a crucial part of professional servicing. Our technicians use specialised descaling solutions and tools to remove stubborn deposits and extend the life of your machine exponentially.
Electrical Issues and System Errors
Modern coffee machines come equipped with electronic controls and automated systems, which means they are prone to occasional electrical issues or system errors. These problems can manifest as error codes, non-responsive buttons or irregular operation patterns. Troubleshooting these issues can be complex.
A service technician can diagnose these electrical faults using specialised diagnostic tools, replace damaged components and recalibrate the machine’s settings.
Tip: Regular servicing reduces the chances of unexpected breakdowns and keeps your machine running smoothly.
