A Portafilter – different requirements

  • PRIVATE

    Maintenance, repair, restoration, consultation, commissioning, and training for your personal setup.

    Private Customer Service
  • BUSINESS

    In addition, emergency service, on-site assignments, loan machines, and maintenance and service contracts.

    Commercial Services

Many manufacturers. One point of contact.

We work on a wide range of portafilter machines and use original manufacturer parts where available and intended for repair.

Among others: La Cimbali, Gaggia, La Marzocco, ECM, Sage, Profitec, Astoria, Rancilio, La San Marco, Rocket, De’Longhi and Bezzera.

For rare models, it's best to clarify acceptance and spare parts availability in advance based on the manufacturer, model, and a photo. We can also inspect the matching coffee grinder along with the machine, as both components influence the result in the cup.

Our service process - back to the perfect espresso in 4 steps

01 - Request & Handover

You describe the machine and the fault. When handing it over, we document the fault pattern.

02 - Diagnostics & Cost Estimate

We will investigate the cause and provide a transparent cost estimate.

03 - Release & Repair

We will only carry out the agreed work after your approval.

04 - Test & Returns

After the function test, you will receive the machine back. We will discuss any additional defects beforehand.

First know what's going on. Then decide.

Complete Cost Transparency Before Repair - After diagnosis, you will receive a cost estimate. Repairs will only be carried out after your prior approval.

  • The analysis costs will be offset against a subsequent repair performed by FAM.
  • You decide, based on the diagnosis, whether the repair should be carried out.
  • Should additional major defects become apparent during the repair, we will discuss the next steps with you in advance.
  • This ensures that effort, decision, and costs remain transparent for you.

Frequent Questions About Espresso Machines

Which portafilter machines does FAM Kaffeetechnik service?

We service espresso machines from many common manufacturers for private and commercial customers. For rare or older models, we check in advance whether spare parts and technical documentation are available.

Can I book a service even without a specific defect?

Yes. Regular maintenance helps detect wear, deposits, and technical anomalies early on and keeps the machine reliably operational in the long term.

Do you repair without prior approval?

No. After the diagnosis, you will receive a cost estimate. Repairs will only be carried out after your approval. If further defects become apparent during the work, we will discuss additional measures with you beforehand.

Do you also service the coffee grinder for the portafilter machine?

Yes. FAM Kaffeetechnik also offers service, repair, consultation, and training for coffee grinders. For a harmonious espresso setup, it's worth taking a look at both the machine and the grinder together.
