Faema in Portola Valley
Faema coffee equipment in Portola Valley.
Portola Valley is a quiet town, mostly large lots and estate homes, and there's no real commercial strip to speak of. The Faema machines we see here are almost always a serious home setup, the kind of thing someone bought because they wanted the real E61 group, not a countertop machine.
We service Faema as an independent shop, no dealer tie, no factory badge. We diagnose, we quote in writing, and we fix what's actually wrong.
The $150 deposit includes pickup, bench diagnosis, and return and is not credited toward repair. Extra bench time is $150 per hour. Diagnostics can take up to a week; most repairs run 3–4 weeks. That is exactly why we recommend preventive maintenance: a maintained machine does not sit in a repair queue for a month.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- E61 group service. Even a home machine used daily wears the group gasket and expansion valve over a few years. We rebuild the group so shot temperature and flow come back correct.
- Pump replacement. A pump losing pressure gets tested under load first. If it's worn out, we replace it rather than adjust around a failing part.
- Thermostat and boiler check. Inconsistent steam or slow heat recovery usually traces to the thermostat or scale in the boiler. We check both and fix the actual cause.
Honest repair timing
A repair queue is easier to avoid than to rush.
We pick up the machine in Portola Valley, diagnose it on the bench, and return it. Pickup and return are included, and you get the repair quote after diagnosis.
Diagnostics can take up to a week; most repairs run 3–4 weeks. That is exactly why we recommend preventive maintenance. A maintained machine does not sit in a repair queue for a month.
