where to actually get an espresso machine repaired in the bay
not the guy on marketplace who says he can probably fix it. wrote this after shipping mine to LA the first time before I knew better

01
did my Profitec's brew boiler in about a week. drop-off only, no house calls, but they know ECM/Profitec/Rocket internals cold
02
book ahead. they've been backed up 2-3 weeks every time I've called but Breville and La Marzocco both funnel here
03
the only one on this list that comes to you. paid a premium for a house call on a 60lb machine and it was worth it
04
covers Monterey too if you're further south. never used them myself, a friend swears by them for her Rocket
06
search here before calling anyone above. half these recs came from this board. not a shop, just good free triage
