New machine? I'll get it installed, dialled in, and pulling perfect shots from day one.

A lot of gaskets later.
About The Shot Doctor
I got into coffee machines the way most people do — I bought a cheap second-hand one, pulled a terrible shot, and then spent the next six months pulling the thing apart trying to work out why. Turns out I liked the fixing more than the coffee.
A few years and a lot of gaskets later, what started as a hobby has become my full-time thing. I strip machines down to nothing, clean every part, replace what needs replacing, and put them back together properly. If I'm selling it, I've tested it myself, I'd happily use it in my own kitchen and I've pulled a great shot from it.
I'm based in Adelaide and work on everything prosumer — Rancilio, Lelit, ECM, Profitec, Rocket, you name it. Grinders too. If it makes espresso, I'm probably interested.
