After cleaning it to within an inch of its life, I finally felt confident enough to make a coffee with it…
It definitely needed it, I removed the water screen on the group head when I got home. 
It does however seem to be fully working.

Good work! @mcFisher 
What’s the ID? We should update Taiga 
It’s item #311, ticket now updated.
wow, that might be the first working coffee machine at the repair hub!
lets keep it as a demo for the repair fest…encouraging people to clean their coffee machines!! i’ll make a sign for it. can you send me a link to the cleaner you used please? thanks
I don’t think we can really class this as a repair, it seemed to arrive with us in basically working (abet a bit unsanitary) condition. I don’t think we can count the power cable failing a PAT test due to the fuse being a bit dirty.
It probably is quite a good example of an item that can be repaired/serviced compared to the (admittedly cheaper) pod coffee machines though.

Folks rarely follow the cleaning instructions. I guess I’d be one of them!… had one pod machine in with dirty laser ( yes it read barcodes to know what to do with each ). Cleaned the Perspex / glass on the laser and then discovered a big yellow plastic fake pod in the back of the machine which you use to set it on a clean cycle. Customer didn’t even know it existed.
They do like to hide things…
We’ve been thinking about setting up some “best practices” flowcharts for different types of repai, coffee machines would definitely be one of them. Remembering to check things like that is a good item on the list.
Actually, I think I’ll start a new topic for that, I’m certain we can brainstorm a bunch of lists for different items…
