Rebuilding and repairing ECM Technika 4 - a shocking espresso machine transformation

Hi guys, welcome back to my UA-cam channel.🤩
Today, I am going to show you something completely different and a little bit of topic. I was able to get a ECM Technika espresso machine. This is a really cool group gift for a dear friend of mine who is finishing his studies. When I got the coffee machine, I did not know in which state the inside would be.🤮 We actually had to take it apart completely, clean and repair all parts that were damaged. It was a really cool side project to restore this beautiful espresso machine.😍 I hope you can also enjoy the transformation from "old" to "new". At this moment I would like to thank everybody who was part of this group present and made it possible to get this beauty. If you enjoyed this rebuild, let me know and we'll make a plan to maybe make more videos in this direction.
Thanks for watching and being part of this surprise!
Your Cristian Casts 🎣

Hi, wie viel habt ihr am Ende für die Maschine und die Ersatzteile ausgegeben?

[@christiancasts]

Hi - das will ich hier nicht direkt schreiben da es ein Geschenk war - aber falls es dich interessiert kannst du mir entweder eine E-Mail schicken oder mich auf meinem Instagram Account direkt schreiben. Dann kann ich dir auch sagen wo ich die Ersatzteile bekommen habe und mit welchen Lieferanten ich gute Erfahrungen gemacht habe.
