Hi Guys,
Coffee newbie here - I recently purchased a mini 2 second hand which I have now found out was sitting idle for possibly a year before I picked it up.
I have fired up the machine and have started the process of cleaning the unit up to get it working again but have run into a few issues.
First off -
No hot water from the hot water tap, I saw this thread viewtopic.php?f=57&t=2105 which seems like a similar issues. my question is does anyone have labelled photos of the mini that would help me if I was to go try and clean the solenoid? how different is the S1 internals to the mini?
secondly -
When I start the machine up, the two boilers pressure up to ~1.3 bar and 9 bar as usual - however if I press the hot water button the pressure on the main boiler drops to about 4 bar. any ideas what's happening here?
Should I just a professional to service the machine first up?
thanks in advance :)

Re: Mini II 2nd Hand Buy Issues
I don't own a mini so I can help you with photos. However, the pressure of the brew boiler is meaningless unless you are pulling a shot. If it's 9bar when pulling a shot, it doesn't really matter what it reads at any other time.
