Worth doing properly.

A good repair starts with careful diagnosis. The goal is not only to make the machine run again, but to understand the failure, correct it cleanly and leave the machine dependable.

From the bench

The work behind a reliable machine.

Fault finding, electrical repair, boiler work, valves, pumps, seals and careful testing before the machine goes back into service.

Mac, espresso machine technician, in the workshop

Meet Mac.

I repair, restore and maintain traditional espresso machines.

Before moving to Vancouver Island, I managed the repair department at Café Union in Montreal, working on everything from home lever machines to high-volume commercial café equipment.

My approach is straightforward: diagnose carefully, repair properly and leave the machine ready to work.

From diagnosis to rebuild.
