 troubleshooting like Bellman Stovetop Capuccino - 2007/04/24 07:44 I have a second hand like a Bellman Stovetop Capuccino Maker.

I did a clean out test with only water. The wand unit works fine for steaming but nothing is coming out of the spout area.

I have been looking at how I can take the lid apart. I have referred to parts at http://www.fantes.com/bellman_parts.htm (again it is not a Bellman but like a Bellman).

I have tried to insert a wire for clean out into the 'pipe' chamber which runs the length of the lid. It may be plugged.

Any suggestions?

thanks

 Re:troubleshooting like Bellman Stovetop Capuccino - 2007/04/27 10:25 Update. I have ordered a set of Bellman gaskets. According to the Bellman illustration URL at fantes.com that I mentioned in previous post, I believe that I am missing some gaskets. (As I had said, mine is a an Italian made 'like Bellman"). I will repost when the gaskets come and I have installed them to see if they make a difference.
Til then. C. Hart

Re:troubleshooting like Bellman Stovetop Capuccino - 2007/05/02 15:23 I am now a bonafide registered member of the forum.

For years I used various stove top espresso makers then let them all go and returned to Melitta porcelain cones.

Recently I had the opportunity to purchase a 'like Bellman' stove top with a steamer wand. And the aforementioned posts are due to its non functionality.

So far I'm having a one sided conversation here.

Now that I'm a member I'm hoping that comments will be forthcoming.

ciao

Re:troubleshooting like Bellman Stovetop Capuccino - 2007/05/17 05:27 Don't fret buddy /buddyette....
Time is of the essence when one wants to be discovered. You can breathe now. Congrats on your acquisition. I find these machines quite interesting in their simplicity. Of course they now have added a pressure gauge, this inhibts total under the tap wash down...Do you have the model that you can invert the filter holder for different coffe brew servings ?
On the electronic selling emporium, they assimilate the Bellman to the Atomic...." like Atomic.." but you know better than that... Frederick Nakos is the Global authority on the Atomic Espresso Coffee maker.
