New! SCG Parts Kits

Since we launched our new website with a selection of external-only parts, we've been hard at work building out kits that include parts and instructions for common espresso machine repairs. First to be released are the Tune Up kits for the Ascaso Dream and Rancilio Silvia. We also brought back the ever popular Rancilio Silvia Steam Wand Upgrade Kit for V1 and V2 machines. The new Tune Up kits include all the parts you'll need to refresh gaskets, seals, brew head screens and descale your machine -- a process we recommend following every six months or so. We're also including step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process. The Steam Wand retrofit is a bit more complicated, as you do need to get inside your Silvia in order to upgrade the machine's steam manifold and install a new steam knob. While we don't provide specific written instructions for this, we did produce a demonstration video a few years ago that will walk you through the process. Before picking up any of these kits, definitely read through the instructions (Ascaso Dream | Rancilio Silvia) or watch the video to confirm that you understand what you're getting yourself into! Personally, we've always been able to get things apart ... it's the putting them back together again that's the challenge.
