MrBean2Cup Reviews

Received here in Australia a Gaggia brass boiler kit and happy to report that the items arrived in fine condition because they were very well packed by MrBean2Cup. The boiler is heavy, so well done and thank you for excellent service! Tip: Unclip the white plastic covers from the 4 x element wires with your thumbnail and lightly crimp the connectors inside to make a more secure fit to the new boiler.

"Having kept my old Gaggia Coffee machine going for many years with spares and replacements from Mr Bean2Cup (and how very cool are the interactive parts diagrams), finally decided the rusted chassis was history, and replaced with a beautifully refurbished Gaggia Classic. Wow, a revelation! So quiet, no drips, rock-solid pressure and unlimited steam from the upgraded latest model brass boiler, the machine is a real pleasure, a great rebuild, thank you so much!. And of course the Classic is easy to customise, so now the full starship, with pressure gauge and PID controller as well. Thanks Zsolt, and it was great to be able to see you at Beans2Cup HQ when collecting. Wholly recommend buying an espresso machine from here!"

"I needed to dismantle an old Gaggia Cubika Plus which was completely blocked with coffee sludge. I found this to be an excellent site with very detailed drawings and prices for all of the parts. There are many youtube videos showing how to dismantle and repair this model which I found to be most helpful.\r\n\r\nI would suggest that if you are fitting a new 'Filterholder Pin Support assembly' into the portafilter, then do not fit the tiny straight spring until after you have pressed the assembly into the main unit, to avoid damaging the fragile plastic pins. "

"Excellent service, goods received very quickly. However, the cardboard packaging was no match for the not so gentle handling of Royal Mail. See attached photo"

"This is a supplementary review following supply of a spare part. All good with that. \r\n\r\nThe part cost \u00a34.08. A seal - a steel ring 60mm x 3mm weighing 3 gms. Postage to a UK address was \u00a32.16. in a jiffy bag. Reasonable.\r\n\r\nInitially I specified postage to an address in France. This came in at \u00a318.73! VAT was charged on the postage, which was to be by Royal Mail. Royal Mail postage services are exempt from VAT ....\r\n\r\nI switched delivery to friends in UK. They slipped the seal into a package containing an A2 graphics cutting mat [60cm x 45cm x 1cm - 500gms] Delivery of this, by courier, was \u00a313.00 with no additional Customs charges. \r\n\r\nIf, as I did, you have to source parts from this UK supplier, get a helpful friend to send them on from UK."

"Very prompt service, thank you. I am delighted with the replacement shower disc holder which was made of brass, unlike the original fitting which was only aluminium (I think) and corroded badly (see attached photo). The new brass one was marked as B grade due to some marks allegedly on it but I have to say it looked perfect to me. Thank you Mr Bean2Cup, you have enabled me to keep my Gaggia Classic running after some 20 years of ownership. Once before you supplied me with a replacement boiler as the old one was corroded too. Thank you."

"Parts arrived. I have installed the steamer. Making coffee again. "
