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.

The coffee machine was sitting on my door stop this afternoon. Took it out and tested it. It has just the damage described by the buyer that she would not assist filing a claim for. Water runs in to the drip pan from somewhere inside when you try to make espresso. Hot water and steam work fine. She mentioned some other problem about the red light not working but I think she didn’t know how the machine worked as the lights are functioning as designed. I’m going to get the special tools to remove the security screws to see if it’s something easy to fix like some loose pluming. Confirmed with Capresso that there is a flat rate $75 repair for this machine that also covers shipping both ways. Not a bad deal but not something I’m interested in fooling with.
