Domestic Espresso machine: Service - approx 1.5 - 2 hours
$75 diagnostic/booking fee paid upfront. For this fee we will check over the machine and a quote will be provided for the work that is required (the $75 will be put towards the total cost of the quote if you choose to go ahead) after diagnosis - prior to any work taking place. Labour is $100 per hour, and parts are charged according to what is needed.
We can organise an in-house service but higher costs are incurred.
We recommend having a comprehensive service done every 12 - 18 months (depending on usage) to keep your expensive prosumer machine running smoothly and ensure it makes exceptional coffee for a long time. We offer a 7 - 14 day turnaround - You drop your machine in Wendouree at the roastery & and pick it up when complete.

We, unfortunately, cant service fully automatic machines, nor breville/sunbeam/jura/Delonghi etc. We recommend contacting the head office of those brands to find a service agent in the area.
