Pre-install and install support

After purchase, you will receive a link you can use to book time with our technical team. This time is most frequently used to review your install preparation, to have time reserved in case your installer has any questions while putting equipment into service, and general questions about how to be successful using the equipment.

Ongoing Support

Our expert team is here to support you if you run into any surprises when operating your equipment. This ranges from general barista questions to helping you debug any issues you encounter with the equipment. Our clients find this service invaluable as it helps them avoid expensive technician bills when the issue they were facing was surprisingly simple to solve.

Equipment Strategy

Maintenance intervals and parts support: What's the best way to take care of my equipment? Example: When should I replace burrs and water filtration, again? Taking it to the next level: What should I do next with my coffee program? I think I want to do X, Y, or Z. What equipment and workflows best enables me to be successful?

How and when can I reach Pro Coffee Gear?

Our team is available 10am - 6pm CST Monday through Friday. For fastest service, you will be able to book an appointment with our team. You can also reach out to us via email, phone call, or even text! General queries will be responded to based on issue severity and warranty status.

Technical Triage

When something goes wrong with your equipment, it can be hard to know how severe it is, or what to do next. We're here to help you decide what to do next and provide technician recommendations as needed. Namely, whether it's likely something simple you can fix yourself or if you need a technician onsite to repair. Since most questions can be solved in less than 10 minutes, having the option for a second opinion can be enormously valuable.

water Quality Requirements

Water quality testing for your espresso machine is essential for optimal flavor and equipment longevity. Good water enhances the taste of your coffee, while impurities can cause scale buildup and damage to the machine. Damage caused by inadequately treated water will void the machine and manufacturer’s warranty. Chloride requirements only apply to machines with steel boilers.

You would never know it’s an open box
Shiny, unused, not a ding on it. Works great! Thanks again. Missing the usb is the only issue but, it’s not necessary.

Mozzafiato Fast R
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
A Tank of an HX
I've had the Mozzafiato Fast R for a couple weeks now, and it's an impressive machine. The build quality is top notch. It's ready to go in 12-15 minutes as advertised. I installed a grouphead thermometer on mine to get a better idea of the brew temperature. Ended up turning the boiler down 2 degrees from the factory 120C setting. Still learning the behavior of the machine and when and how long to flush, but I'm getting the hang of things and it's a joy to use. Doesn't hurt that it looks awesome.

This is a treat, what a beautiful piece of Italian craftsmanship. Being able to control your pump pressure with a handle is so cool. Pro Coffee Gear is the place to shop!
