Microcimbali - 2008/05/16 19:01 HELP anybody
Since 5 months i have been a happy microcimbali Lever (chrome) user.
Took a while to get the perfect cup but made it.
Came back from short 5 day holiday. Turned on my Cimbali in the morning for that first shot.
Let it heat up. Pressure up. Grounds loaded.
Push lever down. Felt/heard a weird sound like a pop. Pressure gone.
Tried several times to pump the lever but no pressure. Waited more to build pressure and saw water coming out from the small hole on the top-side of the black casing. Removed the chrome cover and water was being pushed out through the copper vent during heating up or pressure building onto the top of the Cimbali. Since I also have no manual not sure what to do. Do not want to open it yet.
Anybody have any ideas??????????????????????????????? Need my shot. Desperate

Re:Microcimbali - 2008/05/16 20:41 Yup - your pressure relief valve is gone...

Game over for your Micro-Cimbali by the sounds of it.
That is rough, dude - my condolences.
