The S1 Cafe - Helping Your Espresso Dreams Become Reality

Here's a borescope video looking inside a non-working water boiler. See anything? Boiler doesn't work/no pressure. Coffee boiler is fine. At time of failure there was metal taste from the steam wand but not the water spigot (we think). The steam wand may have its own issue since if anything I'd thin...

Seems to be a normal fill at start-up leading to able to do 1 maybe 2 froths but then I’m guessing it doesn’t re-generate/ restore pressure.

When I turn it on I hear the pump for maybe 10 secs but I don’t hear it after its first use to make foam that I mentioned inOP

This eight yr old unit had metal taste in the froth and a water boiler with unreliable pressure. The hot water spigot suffers from the pressure but not the metal taste. Group head pulling shots just fine (dusk boilers, as you may know). Both problems began at the same time. Ideas?
