Intermediate Diagnostics and Repair

Espresso machine technicians rely on a diverse set of skills to troubleshoot and repair coffee equipment properly. Technicians will develop those skills in this comprehensive five-day hands-on coffee technician training program.

This class builds on the knowledge of coffee equipment parts and proper system function introduced in the Hydraulic Foundation and Electrical Foundation courses. We'll mix theory and hands-on activities, developing the knowledge and skills necessary to:

• Accurately observe and analyze symptoms of common coffee equipment malfunctions
• Learn and practice a practical diagnostic process
• Identify obstructions and internal leaks in coffee equipment hydraulic systems
• Evaluate electrical circuits and components to identify failed component
• Use electrical, hydraulic, and parts schematics
  
• Complete simple repairs safely and effectively
• Adjust key coffee equipment operating parameters

A key goal of this course is to building efficient, accurate diagnosis skills. For that reason, a substantial portion of our class time is spent troubleshooting machines that have been sabotaged to represent common real-world failures.

This course is scheduled by request. Please contact us if you are interested in an upcoming session.
