Does the coastal air actually affect the machine, or is that overstated?

It's real. Chrome fittings and steam wand tips corrode faster in Pacifica than in most cities we cover, so we check those parts closely on every visit here.

Is your technician actually close to Pacifica?

We have a technician based in San Mateo County, on the Peninsula side, so Pacifica is a normal call for him, not a long drive from a San Ramon office.

Faema in Pacifica

Faema commercial service.

Pacifica runs right along Highway 1 with the ocean just blocks away through most of town, and the cafes near Linda Mar and along the strip by Pacifica Pier in 94044 keep their Faema machines running in air that carries real salt content.

That salt air pits chrome and works on brass fittings faster than it would twenty minutes inland, and the fog rolling in most mornings adds moisture on top of it. It's not cosmetic, it actually shortens the life of certain parts.

We have a technician based on the Peninsula, in San Mateo County, so Pacifica is part of our regular route.

$150 pickup deposit. Pickup, bench diagnosis, and return are included. Repair work is quoted separately. Bench diagnosis can take up to one week; most repairs take 3–4 weeks. Same-day pickup may be available, but same-day repair is not offered. Repair parts are covered for 6 months; consumables are covered for 90 days.

Common repairs we do

What we repair on the bench.

Corrosion on fittings and steam wand tips. Salt air corrodes brass fittings and pits chrome steam wand tips faster here than almost anywhere else we service on the Peninsula. We clean up light corrosion where we can, and replace fittings or steam tips once they've pitted through.
E61 group gasket and seal replacement. Between the coastal moisture and normal daily use, group gaskets on a Pacifica machine wear out sooner than the same machine would inland. We replace the gasket and seals and check the group body itself for early corrosion while it's open.
Pump and check valve service. A pump running in a salty, damp environment corrodes internally faster than one in a dry cafe, and a bad check valve lets brew pressure bleed off between shots. We test both and rebuild or replace whichever one is letting pressure go.
