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.

Very nice guys, super helpful and a very good price on a lovely machine
The Eastlink Espresso team serviced my ECM Mechanika & Eureka Mignon grinder and I’m delighted with the result. They are very knowledgable, provide transparent pricing and deliver great customer service. I’d highly recommend if you are thinking about buying a new machine or looking for your equipment to be serviced
Had my ECM MECHANIKA SLIM finally serviced at Eastlink where I purchased it Brilliant service and attention by staff (serviced after 3 yrs slightly overdue 🤭) Always get their coffee Would recommend them to anyone The template for how a business should be run 👍
I highly recommend Eastlink Espresso for anyone serious about coffee equipment. I purchased a grinder from them nearly two years ago, and recently, the power switch unexpectedly failed. I brought it in hoping I’d get it back next week, but the service I received was truly exceptional. The team repaired the switch for me at absolutely no cost, demonstrating an incredible commitment to their products long after the point of sale. Even more impressive, they had the grinder ready that afternoon! Beyond the incredible service commitment, the staff here are genuinely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They make you feel valued every time you walk in the door. If you are looking for quality equipment backed by customer service that is second to none, Eastlink Espresso is the place to go.
Fantastic customer service. I was enthusiastically welcomed into the store, offered a delicious espresso - promptly told that the beans were the store's house roast. I left with a Lelit Elizabeth and matching accessories, given advice on how to look after the machine and when to return for a service. Big ups to the team!
Excellent experience buying my coffee machine and grinder as an interstate customer. Vittorio was fantastic to deal with and incredibly helpful throughout the process. I really wanted to buy locally, but the price and level of service here couldn’t be beaten. I’m really happy with the setup — Vittorio talked me through everything over the phone, and less than a week in I’m already making great coffee at home. Highly recommend.
Very happy with the service and the follow-ups. The people and shop are welcoming and I will be back!
The team provide fantastic technical and personalized service. A quick repair job while i waited was very much appreciated after my long haul. Highly recommend.
Great customers service again! Bought the rocket appartmento and it’s a winner !
