Yes, a single wire connector was loosened in shipping. Cost me $20 postage, $1.25 ebay listing fee and a $140 sale. I can’t blame anyone but the USPS, paypal, ebay and the temporary buyer. All contributed to making something simple in to a minor disaster. Please avoid all of them.

A now working Capresso Ultima 121 video.

The symptoms of the Capresso Ultima problems were, when you went to make coffee/espresso, it dripped water in to the base and would not flow through the coffee grounds. The hot water, steam and other functions of the machine worked fine.

The bottom of the Capresso Ultima 121 is held in place by three small torx security screws.

This picture shows the machine from the bottom with the bottom cover now removed. In the exact center of this picture are two connections attached to the left of a square shaped object. The lower one with a blue wire and the upper one with a white wire. The connector with the white wire was off the terminal when I opened the machine. I think this must control the valve that lets the high pressure water flow to the coffee grounds. By not opening the valve the water had no where to go but through the pressure release mechanism and in to the overflow tray.
