Our Appia II spits water from the steam wand. What causes that?

Usually an overfilled boiler, and on hard water a level probe coated in scale is a likely reason. The autofill never gets the signal to stop. We clean or replace the probe, descale the boiler and check the fill cycle before the machine comes back.

How often should a cafe machine on Vallejo water be descaled?

It depends on volume and filtration. A busy counter with no filter scales far faster than an office machine behind a fresh cartridge. We set the interval once your boiler is open on our bench, because the scale inside it says more than a calendar does.

Is an older Aurelia worth repairing, or should we replace it?

In most cases, repair it. Aurelia parts are well supported, and the boiler, element, probe and valves can all be replaced. The written quote lays out the full job so you can compare it with a new machine before any work starts.

Nuova Simonelli in Vallejo

Nuova Simonelli commercial service.

Vallejo's water is hard, and a Nuova Simonelli on a plumbed line feeds that water straight into its boiler. As the water heats, mineral settles on the element and on the level probe that tells the autofill when to stop. Once crust coats the probe, the reading goes wrong. The boiler overfills and the steam wand spits water, or it runs low and the machine throws a temperature error.

We work on Nuova Simonelli as an independent shop. The machine comes to our bench by pickup, we find the fault, and it goes back after the repair you approve on a written quote. Aurelia and Appia II parts are well supported, so a scaled boiler is usually a repair worth making rather than a reason to replace the machine. CSLB #1136642.

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.

Level probe misreading under mineral crust. A crusted probe tells the autofill the boiler is empty when it is full, or full when it is low. We clean or replace the probe, descale the boiler around it and watch several fill cycles to confirm the level holds.
Heating element scaled past saving. Scale insulates the element until it overheats and fails, or heats so slowly that steam never recovers between drinks. We test the element, replace it when it has failed and descale the boiler before the new one goes in.
Scale protection on Vallejo's water. The cheapest part of this repair is the part that prevents the next one. We recommend filtration on the inlet line and suggest a descale cycle that keeps crust off the probe.
