STEAM & GRIND CARDIFF

Espresso coffee machine and coffee grinder service, repair, maintenance and calibration in and around Cardiff and beyond. Helping you and your business ensure that coffee lovers always experience the perfect cup.

ABOUT ME

I am a former independent cafe owner and barista. I started my career as an espresso engineer at the Espresso Academy in Florence, Italy.

I am passionate about good quality coffee and STEAM & GRIND is here to ensure that your espresso machine and grinder always achieve maximum performance so that you can make your customers the best cup of coffee they have ever tasted.

I am a proud member of the Speciality Coffee Association’s Coffee Technicians Guild.

SERVICES

I offer complete repair and maintenance solutions and full-service plans for espresso coffee machines and coffee grinders including Pressure Vessel Testing (PSSR) and portable appliance testing (PAT Testing).

HERE IS HOW I CAN HELP

The espresso machine, along with the coffee grinder are the two most important tools in your Cafe. You can trust me to take care of these by offering a wide range of repair services and maintenance for your equipment, so you can continue to make great tasting coffee. I can also refurbish and restore or customise your old espresso machine or coffee grinder to the colour and specification of your choice.

A good technician can save you from making several very expensive mistakes, by inspecting the site before any works being started, liaising with your contractors, and helping you make the right decisions that work for you.

What I offer

• Business and equipment consultation.
• Coffee equipment diagnosis, service, maintenance, repairs and installation.
• Restoration and rebuilds.
• Customisation and modification.
• Technical training.
• General building maintenance.
• PAT Testing service.
• Front end espresso machine service

This service will focus on the group heads, steamer/hot water outlets, replacing worn seals and other perishable parts to keep your espresso machine working as efficiently as possible.

FULL ESPRESSO MACHINE SERVICE

After a while even a well cared espresso machine will need some serious TLC, or maybe you have just purchased a pre owned espresso machine and want to make sure its as good as it can be.

The full service is a process in which I examine your espresso machine from top to bottom, de-scaling the tank with acid to remove all lime scale, testing and flushing steam wands, replacing all perishable parts and cleaning out dirt and grime, and checking all electrical components making sure they are well insulated etc. I can even add some customisations such as LED lighting or change the colour of the panels. I am open to any ideas you may have. I will also PAT test the machine. I will need to take your machine away for 7-14 days to my workshop.

Talk to me about about a free loan machine whilst I undertake the work if required, in order to minimise disruption to your business.

PSSR INSPECTIONS

In order for you to remain compliant and up to date with “Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000”, I am able to undertake your annual PSSR inspections. This is an inspection required by law and insurance companies to ensure that your steam boiler is in safe working order.

Under UK law your coffee machine is classed as a pressure vessel and comes under Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000. If you do not stay compliant and there is an unfortunate incident involving your coffee machine, your insurance company may void your policy and you could be liable for a civil lawsuit and/or criminal charges.

WHY US?

As a previous Cafe owner, I understand the need to keep on top of even the smallest of jobs and get things done as efficiently as possible. In the cafe industry, quality, efficiency and time, matters.

Helping you and your business ensure that coffee lovers always experience the perfect cup.

I want to help you and your business ensure that coffee lovers always experience the perfect cup of coffee.

You have your espresso machine, freshly roasted coffee beans, and you are eager to start making great coffee, but do you have the coffee grinder adjusted for the day’s conditions? Has the extraction times on your espresso machine been checked? If the espresso machine and the coffee grinder have not been check and calibrated, the drinks produced can be of poor quality, either watery and weak, or bitter and burned. A poor testing espresso is usually down to the grind not being set correctly for the atmospheric conditions at the time. If you are not happy with the quality or taste of your coffee or you would like technical training on making a great cup of coffee, go ahead and contact me.
