Converting machine

Postby AJJ » Tue Jun 14, 2011 9:02 am

Hi,

A friend of mine has got his hands on a used CMA single group machine. Thing is it is set up to use Illy pods. It has a flat shallow portafilter, and the grouphead almost looks like it is dedicated to the pods.

Does anyone know how it might be converted back to the real world, or where parts might be available from?

You may be able to unscrew the pod conversion block from the group and replace it with a standard CMA group divider.

What model is it?

Photo's would be handy.

I can help with CMA parts if needed.

Any joy with that CMA?

This turned out to be an interesting thread after all.

The model of the machine is CKXE.

If you could get some detailed photos of the group, I can advise you further on price and availability of the parts you need.
