VBM Common Issues FAQs
The machine is not working?
No water can be pumped?
- Check the Low Water Level Warning Light to see if the reservoir needs to be refilled.
- Check the water reservoir to be sure that the tank is properly seated in the machines. Lift it and set it back into place. You should be able to feel it compress the springs of its platform which engage the safety switch.
- Be sure the Power Switch is turned to Position I or Position II.
The group head is not getting very warm?
- The operating lever on the right side of the group head of the manual model must be in the fully down position, pushed back towards the face of the machines as far as it will go (light pressure is all that is necessary- no need to force the lever). If it is not in this position, the water path for the thermosyphon is restricted and the group head will not reach the proper operating temperature.
- Be sure the Power Switch is turned to Position II.
- Check the Low Water Level Warning Light to see if the reservoir needs to be refilled.
I can pump water, but the water is always cold!
- Check the power switch to be sure that it is in position II.
- Over Temperature Safety Thermostat tripped. This occurs if the pressure stat malfunctions or the water level is not maintained in the boiler. In either case, the boiler can overheat. To save the machines from damage there is an over-temperature thermostat that protects the machines much like a circuit breaker or fuse protects the wiring in your home. And much in the same way as a circuit breaker, the over-temperature thermostat can be reset. If you suspect that the thermostat has been tripped it is important to verify the cause before continuing.
The brew pressure gauge acts erratically
- The brew pressure gauge on the front panel should only be used as a general indicator as to what is happening during the brewing cycle.
- The only time when the gauge will display any useful information is when there is a properly prepared portafilter, filled with properly ground and tamped coffee, locked in the group head, and the brewing process is underway. At all other times, even when the pump is refilling the boiler, this gauge is not displaying any useful information and should be ignored.
- Even when the pull is underway the brew gauge will read a little higher than the actual brew pressure at the coffee. If all is going well, the gauge should read about 9.5 to 10 BAR during most of the pull.
- The pressure gauge is not working? come to see us! It needs replacement!
The machines does not dispense steam
- The hole at the end of the steam/hot water wand is obstructed.

Took my VBM in after it tripped the breaker and then stopped working. Had a call with a very friendly technician, who quoted the minimum amount of parts needed to get it working again and not trying to upsell me on anything. Got it back within the week, and it works better than before.
Took my machine in to Eastlink as it was leaking and on its last legs. Got it back 3 days later running better than new. Excellent staff, very helpful and not selling you something you don’t want or need. Will be back again
Took in a 12 year old dual boiler coffee machine that had never been serviced and never turned off. Needless to say, my machine was not in a good way. From the time eastlink espresso started work to completion, 1½days!! And the price, I am reluctant to say, was way less than what I thought it would be. It now works better than brand new.
Highly recommended Eastlink Espresso. Excellent service, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful and friendly .
We cannot speak more highly of Eastlink Espresso, and Ahmed in particular. We wanted to replace our old fully automatic machine and take the next step into creating coffee with a manual machine. Ahmed’s extensive knowledge of the machines and the coffee making process made it possible for us to make an informed decision. He was extremely patient, taking the time to answer the many questions we had. We felt under no pressure at all to rush our decision. When we finally made the decision on which combination of machine and grinder we wanted, Ahmed was very helpful making sure we had the tools required, and that we knew how to start the process of making our first coffee. We have to add that the coffee Ahmed made us in the store from their Signature Beans was delicious, we will definitely be back to purchase more beans! Thank you Ahmed, the service you provided was incredible!
Highly recommend the team at Eastlink Espresso. As a novice with home making Espresso, Vittorio was amazing at explaining everything I needed to know regarding purchasing a suitable grinder and coffee machine. I'm so grateful that Vittorio and team have continue to look after me after purchasing the machine. Vittorio is always very approachable and very thorough in explaining the nuances of espresso making to a novice like myself. He is passionate about his clients achieving amazing tasting coffee at home and with his help, I've had some amazing results so far with the new Lelit Bianca V3. Couldn't be happier.
Great service for my Breville Espresso 870. The team were super friendly and kept me informed of what was happening, cost was very reasonable and the time to carry out the repairs was only a matter of days. Thanks so much. Definitely recommend and go back again.
