What makes SteamWorks Espresso different than most service companies? We take the time to inspect and refurbish each machine from the ground up: powder-coating the frame and body work, using Seattle’s own Seattle Powder-coat, Hand polishing every line and fixture followed by re-sealing with OEM gaskets and making sure it all goes together with what the machine needs to function optimally. Every nut and bolt goes back together cleaned and polished to our standards.

At SteamWorks Espresso we hand-polish and chemical-dip every line and fixture on every machine, replace inlet lines with durable stainless steel braided hoses, and bench test every machine for at least 48 hours to ensure a stable running condition. The finished product is a clean, scale-free, and practically good-as-new machine, at a considerable savings over buying brand new. Each machine refurbished by SteamWorks Espresso Service is guaranteed for up to 15 days after install.
