Introduction
If the pump becomes weak, you will have to remove it, open it and revise it. It may need to be replaced. This is shown here.
These instructions may also help with other Saeco models and with coffee makers from Philips and Gaggia—they are all made by the same manufacturer and have a very similar design.
