<p>It started out as a hobby, a passion for these great machines that offer us the balm of coffee every morning, every day.<br/> Six years ago our passion for espresso machines drove us to start our very own restoration projects. We started small, working on pieces for us or for our close friends. Soon we discovered that spare parts for espresso machines, especially for the vintage ones, are not so easy to find. This lack of spare parts turned into an opportunity since we figured that manufacturing them would make things a lot easier for us and for all the vintage espresso machines passionate out there. That is how, in almost two years time, Brooks Espresso Machines came to be.<br/> At the present time, we work with pleasure on manufacturing spare parts, restoring vintage espresso machines and meeting people that share the same values and passion as us from all over the world. At the end of the day, we are happy that in some corner of the world, somebody is drinking.</p>

<br/>Bunn's commercial sales group is apparently in the midst of changing over inventory control systems. This sort of thing happens periodically with large companies and the results vary. In this case it has been pretty much a disaster.<br/><br/>In my case, a parts order I placed to repair a couple of brewers that are down has been delayed by the better part of a week. I ordered these parts last Wednesday, and the word today was that "they hopefully will ship by the end of this week". These parts are in stock, they just can't process orders properly or quickly enough with the new system. I was told that this was an improvement over last week, when orders were being delayed longer... so it sounds like this is happening with all of their orders.<br/><br/>What does this mean to those of us that are Bunn's customers? I think for the next couple of weeks (at least) it means a few things:<br/>1. Do not expect normal turnaround times. If you need parts quickly, find another source instead of ordering from Bunn.<br/>2. Some parts may not appear in the online store. This doesn't mean that they don't exist, you just need to call customer service to order them.<br/>3. Bunn call-center wait times will be ridiculous for a little while. I waited 15 minutes today to find out my order status. Plan on long hold times and communicate by other means if possible.<br/>4. Bunn's customer service reps are dealing with lots of upset customers... when you do reach them, try to be nice. Its not their fault that their IT group dropped the ball.<br/><br/>To be clear, this is not a venting thread or a complaining thread. Those far more important than I have surely already complained in far more effective ways. I'm just trying to get the word out about the situation so that we can all work around as best we can. Really, I just wish I'd known last week so that I could have placed my order with other suppliers and gotten my customers up and running earlier.<br/><br/>I would like to invite anyone here that works for Bunn to please share any updates, thoughts on this situation, or other suggestions for your customers.<br/> broken switches on a Lineatag:www.baristaexchange.com,2010-05-22:1688216:Topic:8525062010-05-22T21:45:24.792ZAdam Wilsonhttps://www.baristaexchange.com/profile/AdamWilson
Hey all,<div><br></br></div>
<div>We use a 2-group La Marzocco Linea EE, and <i>both</i> of our dispensing switches are broken (see photos). </div>

</div> looking for Bunn G1/2/3 burr settag:www.baristaexchange.com,2010-04-25:1688216:Topic:8342932010-04-25T04:04:53.931ZAdam Wilsonhttps://www.baristaexchange.com/profile/AdamWilson
Does anyone have a set of SHARP stainless steel grinder burrs for the Bunn G1/G2/G3 bulk grinder?<div><br/></div>
<div>All I can find online are the $200-ish versions that seem to be Titanium? I can't figure out why they would be so expensive otherwise. </div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>The ones I'm looking for are Bunn Part # 002314.0000 (the apparently titanium ones are part # 05861.1002)</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>They don't have to be new, just clean and sharp. Please let me know! </div>

Today I found a La Pavoni Europiccola (circa '86) at a thrift shop for $10. Heating element and plumbing seam to work fine. Only problem is that it did not come with a portafilter or a basket. Found new portafilters (~$150) and baskets (~$25) for this machine online (Espresso Parts et al.), but I'm wondering if there are good sources for used parts either online or locally (I'm in DC area, but often in NYC). Even a general hunting direction would be appreciated.
