Service interval

The recommended frequency for full machine and grinder servicing. For home use, 12–18 months between full services is typical; for café use, every 3–6 months is the standard.

Why it matters — Regular service catches small problems before they become expensive ones. A $150–$300 annual service keeps a $3000 machine running well for 15+ years; skipping it usually means more expensive repairs sooner.

Good to know

• A "service" typically includes: gasket replacement, shower screen replacement, group cleaning, descaling if needed, OPV check, and any flagged issues.
• Keep records — knowing what was done at the last service helps the next technician.
