Our group keeps dripping after we stop the shot. Is that serious?

It will get worse. A leaking solenoid wastes water and heat, and the drip grows as scale and oil build on the seat. Book the repair before it stops the group altogether.

Does backflushing help the solenoids?

Yes. Backflushing pushes water and cleaner back through the valve path and clears the oil that makes solenoids stick. Do it on the schedule in your manual, with detergent on the days it calls for.

Do you collect from homes up in the hills?

Yes. Tell us about the driveway, any gate and where to park, and we set up the pickup and return around them. A plumbed machine gets disconnected from its water line at pickup and reconnected on return.

Nuova Simonelli in El Sobrante

Nuova Simonelli commercial service.

Downtown El Sobrante runs along San Pablo Dam Road between El Portal and Appian Way, with homes spreading into the hills above it. An espresso machine at a counter there, or in one of those homes, relies on its brew solenoids to start and stop each shot. A stuck solenoid leaves a group dribbling after the shot or dead when you press the button. On a multi-group Appia II or Aurelia, one group can fail this way while the others keep pouring normally.

EBMUD water is soft to moderate, so scale in the solenoids builds slowly, but coffee oil and old grounds work their way back into them as well. We pick the machine up, find the fault on our bench and return it after you approve the written quote. Independent Nuova Simonelli service, CSLB #1136642.

$150–450 deposit depending on the model. It covers pickup, bench diagnosis and return, and is not credited toward the repair. 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. 6 months on parts and labor; 90 days on consumables.

Common repairs we do

What we repair on the bench.

Group that dribbles after the shot. A brew solenoid that no longer seals keeps water trickling into the cup. We clean or replace the valve, check its coil and pull test shots until the group stops clean.
Group that will not start. No flow at the group can be a seized solenoid, a burned coil or a missing signal. We test the coil and the valve, then the wiring, and replace what failed. If every part checks out, the fault is on the board side, and we trace it there.
Portafilter that sprays when you remove it. When the solenoid cannot release pressure after the shot, the portafilter sprays wet grounds as it comes off. We clear the release path, clean or replace the valve and backflush the group.
