Sunbeam Piccolo Espresso EM2800 Questions & Answers

Help!! Can anyone tell me please, if there should be a single hole in the base of each of the 1 and 2 cup filters?
Mine have no holes, yet I can't see anything in the instruction booklet about piercing the holes initially. Although in the 'Care and Cleaning' section, it states "Insert a pin into the single hole in the base of the filter".

Hi,,my son bought me the Sunbeam Picolo coffee machine in 2014,it's still going strong,makes a great cuppachino and froths the milk well too.It's just dripping a little water from the seal around the tamper,just wondering if i can get a replacement seal and put it in myself.
Thanks.

The steam pressure is not working. I turn it on and wait a few seconds and then the steam that’s built up expels through the machine. This is the second time I’ve bought this sunbeam piccolo machine because of its capability. And the second time I’ve had this issue, it’s only just outside of its 12 month warranty also. What can I do?

Hi, I have the sunbeam piccola em2800, what size is the tamper as i need a new one.

My EM2800 when turned on, will only display the orange light ..forever, and will not advance to green .
I have pulled apart, de scaled, cleaned every piece, to no avail . Also the steamer will only pulse for about 1 second
Could this be a switch problem ? or the heating element ?

Can the lid be detached from the water reservoir to make cleaning easier?

Are the group handle for EM2800 and EM4800C the same? I have a second-hand EM4800C, missing its group handle and would like to know if I can ever find the part somehow.

Can this coffee maker (model EM2800) discharge HOT WATER?
I was looking at one in the shops today thinking of buying one because my other one, an EM3600 is about 5 years old. It still works great, but it's old and I fear it will soon stop working, so need one to replace it when the inevitable occurs. I found out that the EM3600 is now a discontinued model - no longer made.
Unlike my existing EM3600, this model EM2800 and the EM3820 I was looking at today, do not appear to have a 2 position steam / hot-water selector switch.
That switch allows you to discharge hot water (rather than just steam) through the steam wand, if it is selected to 'water' mode and obviously for steam if steam is selected.
It seems this EM2800 model and the EM3820 only allows one to discharge steam, with no hot-water option.
Is this correct? Or, is there some way you can get hot water out of these 'newer' but seemingly less versatile models that supposedly supersede the very good EM3600?
I downloaded the instruction manual for the EM2800 and it doesn't mention anything about hot water, so I assume it can't.

Hi I really love my Sunbeam piccolo espresso machine but like a few other people have mentioned it constantly leaks water from the tank. It's like the seal between the tank and the machine doesn't work. I've tried removing and reinserting it and for a few days it will be fine but then it starts leaking again. Is there a way to stop this without having to take it back?

difference between 2800 and 3500.

My coffee grounds stay really wet after making coffee

Hi I have a Sunbeam EM2800 which i have used for 2 years with no problems. However out of nowhere when turning the machine on and waiting for it to heat up before making coffee, the tank empty its self out into the waste tray continuously until the tank is empty. What can or should I do? I am in Sydney, NSW. Thank you.

I wrote to you before about my problem. That problem did not go away still there. You wasnt very helpfull because you didnt believed or dont wanted to addmit that could be faulty design.
Why grouphandle creating such unplesant marks on the black plastic and also very bad stains on inside metal and black plastic part. You can only see it when removing that tiny little screw. No matter how I try it I can not remove it. It does put me off to make coffee because looks like mould. That problem was from very beggining. I do love my little machine, but I shouldnt be taking little screw off every 4-5 coffees. Im only the one who using the machine.

I bought the machine around sept last year through Target at Morisset NSW and dont have receipt only the card details I thing $129 just come back from being away 6 weeks and went to use and the water is coming out via head and filter any ideas as is agood machine

Hi I have problem with my Sunbeam Piccolo Espresso EM2800. The pressure for espresso is working ok but not for the steamer. there is no pressure heat come out from the steam wand at all, so steamer stop working. What to do and how to fix it?

I really like my coffee machine- Sunbeam Piccolo Espresso EM2800. But lately it has begun to leak water under this base, forming a puddle. This is getting worse and worse. What should I do in this situation?

We just got our sunbeam piccolo coffee machine this week. Water leaks out around where the handle goes into the machine. I’ve tried using less coffe in the handle which doesn’t help. I’ve had other coffee machines and this was never a problem in the past. Is this machine faulty?

Anyone had this machine constantly spit water into the drip tray? Just started to doing it the other day, is pretty unusable now

Brand New Sunbeam Piccolo Espresso leaks water ....can anything be done or should it be taken back ?

Brand new machine does not draw any water makes all the noises but steam wand does not work and nothing comes out brewing head, have checked reservoir several times and am sure it is positioned correctly, what else could the problem be?
