I rebuilt my tea just recently. Great little machine and I love the location and angle of the gauges. My only complaint is I have the older style steam taps. Any ideas on upgrading to taps with the ball joint?
I did this once but had a parts machine with the valves, wands and steam pipes. It would be pretty expensive to do this buying all the parts individually
Would you say that an old restored machine like this would be superior to something like a Gaggia Classic Pro or Rancilio Silvia? I have an option to purchase a ~12 year old TEA to upgrade from a Breville Barista Express and wanted to know your opinion!
I currently have an isomac alba that I am currently doing a restoration on which also had a crack in the boiler requiring replacement. Do you think it might be a design flaw or just coincidence? There is sadly very little information on isomac machines on coffee forums as such it's hard to get info on them.
These are a dream to service
Cover easy to remove, good access. Definitely one of the better ones. I also like the Expobar Leva and the Minore

I would take an old Tea over an any of the mentioned options. If it restored it should last 10 years plus with ongoing maintenance
@@espressorestomelbourne1735 thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it!
Looks like a VBM Domobar!!
Definitely some similarlies

They have a range of boilers. You hope to get one with the later stainless boiler.

Which one is better compared to VBM Junior Bar ?
I have not had a VBM so far. If you are looking for a Isomac, try an get the more recent one with stainless boiler.
