When your espresso machine seems a little off its game, it may be time to have it serviced and repaired. However, espresso machines are far more complex than other coffee machines, which means a repair may not always be the right solution, in which case you may need to replace certain parts or the entire machine entirely.
We know this can be a challenging decision to make, which is why the team at Bravo Repair Centre is here to help! Of course, if you have an old, used espresso machine that is giving you problems, chances are you will need to scrap it and buy a new one. But if you have a new espresso machine and issues are arising, a simple repair could be all you need to get your machine back into shape.
In this blog, we will discuss what you need to know about espresso machine repair and replacement, so you can make the best decision for your machine and future brews. Continue reading with us and visit the Bravo Repair Centre for more assistance.
When A Repair Is Necessary
The first thing to consider when you suspect your espresso machine may need repairing is to check the build date. A top-of-the-range espresso machine typically has a five to seven year lifecycle, and five years for a lower-budget machine. There are also two key elements to pay close attention to that indicate poor machine health, namely the smell and taste of the coffee it produces.
Common signs that your espresso machine may need repair could be leaking, having poor steam pressure, the coffee tasting burnt, and the water smelling and tasting bad. These issues, if attended to swiftly, can be easily fixed by a professional. Ultimately, if your espresso machine is reasonably new and you take good care of it, a repair and general servicing will be all you need to return your machine to its former condition.
When Replacement Is Necessary
There is no denying that espresso machines are not a cheap purchase, so it can be tough to come to terms with saying goodbye to your good old friend and heading to the store to buy a new one. However, this may not always be the case. In some instances, the faulty piece can be replaced with a genuine part, and your machine will be back in working order. But if there are no genuine parts available, it may not be worth it to replace the faulty component.
This is where a professional’s assistance is needed to help determine whether your machine requires a quick repair and tuning or if it’s time to pack it up and buy a new one. Fortunately, Bravo Repair Centre is here to answer all your questions and can help you select the right machine for your needs.
