Servicing
A service keeps a good machine pulling consistent shots and catches small problems before they become big ones. Depending on the machine, a service covers:
- Descaling the boiler and water path
- Replacing group-head gaskets and shower screens
- Cleaning group heads, valves and the steam wand
- Checking pump pressure, boiler pressure and temperature
- Bench-testing the machine before it goes home
Domestic and commercial
The same bench handles a single-group home machine and a café’s two-group. Commercial clients across the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers bring in espresso machines and grinders. A fully automatic De’Longhi from a kitchen bench gets the same care.

Questions
What coffee machine faults do you fix?
Common jobs include leaks, low or no pump pressure, machines that won’t heat, weak or no steam, blocked steam wands, worn group-head gaskets, portafilters that won’t lock in, tripping power and other electrical faults, and grinder burr or motor problems.
Do you service commercial espresso machines?
Yes. Commercial espresso machines and grinders are serviced and repaired as well as domestic machines, for cafés, offices and restaurants across the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers.
How often should a coffee machine be serviced?
It depends how hard the machine works and how hard your water is. A busy café machine needs gaskets, shower screens and a descale far more often than a home machine that makes two coffees a day. Call with your machine and usage and you’ll get a straight answer.
Do you do warranty repairs?
Yes, both warranty and non-warranty work. Protech Espresso is an authorised De’Longhi service agent, so De’Longhi warranty claims can be handled here.
