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.

Amazing customer service, best I’ve experienced in a while, very welcoming & friendly. Store was quite busy but staff handled it in their stride & were on the ball & dynamic with every customer they spoke to. Knowledgeable & quick turn around on a machine repair at a reasonable price.
Neri and Ahmed were so helpful when it came to purchasing my Rocket Apartmento TCA coffee machine and Eureka Mignon grinder. Upon arrival I was welcomed with a delicious espresso to try of their own blend and it was amazing, they gave me some of their coffee to try with my new machine along with a great starter kit to get me up and running once I got home. I’ll certainly be taking my machine back for servicing and recommending these guys to anyone who is interested in buying a coffee machine!
i can’t recommend eastlink espresso highly enough for repairs and service of domestic coffee machines. i have a 20 year old ECM Giotto machine which was starting to fail. i found eastlink after a google search which showed good reviews and high levels of customer satisfaction. vittorio and the team brought it back to life with a full overhaul and even made a subsequent home visit free of charge to fix an issue that had not been apparent at the time of the service. they really know their stuff and stand behind their work to the maximum degree. i’m very confident that with their help my much loved machine will easily last another 20 years!
I was looking for a new coffee Machine and these guys did not disappoint! Amazing knowledge and support being very easy to talk to, and took the time answer questions and guide me. Being interstate, next day delivery was completely unexpected.
These guys are the best! I have brought my coffee machine to Neri for its regular maintenance for over 12 years now, and they have been a great help, kind and friendly. My machine always receives excellent service after spending time with Eastlink Espresso! Also, a special shout-out to Vittorio, who took the time to show me the different machines when my old one couldn't keep up; the Rubino is fabulous! Can't recommend these guys enough.
Excellent service and repair to my father's Expobar. Extremely happy with results and the machine now works like new. Very reasonable prices too!! Very highly recommended and will only be using this business from now on.
My wife and I purchased a Lelit coffee machine and Fiorenzato coffee grinder from Vittorio at Eastlink Espresso on Monday the 5th of January 2026. We are so happy with the service and advice we received from Vittorio and he was very helpful over the phone after we got home and called him for some assistance. We love our new coffee machine and he had an impressive range of machines and accessories in the showroom. We highly recommend Eastlink Espresso. Alex.
