We let you know your machine is ready for a pick up via a text message to your mobile. Please wait 7 business days from drop offs prior to contacting us for updates. We charge stocking fee of $20 per week after 21 days from completion, should your machine hasn't been picked up.  

Can I pay over the phone before picking up?
Ofcourse. Once you received the text message that your machine is ready, ring us with the reference number in your message and we will process it over the phone for you. 

Do you do home repair?
Unfortunately not at this stage. If you have a plumbed in or a heavy machine, give us a call we may be able to refer a local mobile technician to you. We can pick up your coffee machine on Friday and drop it back the following Friday if suits. See above price list for fees and details and book your collection with our support team. 

Do you offer pick up and drop off service?

Yes, we pick up and drop off machines on Fridays only, between 9:00am-12:30pm . Note we only cover Sydney East, South, CBD & Inner west. Pick up & drop off is charged at $65 (both ways) and will be added on the repair invoice. Please make sure you have your machine ready for a pick up (no water in tank, no handles, no tray, machine is dry and has cooled down) before the scheduled pick up.  

Do you provide repair quotes?
Yes we do. Repair quotes can only be provided when you drop off your machine for diagnosis. Diagnosis fee is $50. Once we provide you with a quote, if you decide to proceed with a repair with us, we will wave this fee from your repair bill's total. If you wish not to proceed, payment for the diagnosis will be required prior to pick up.  

What happens if I decide not to proceed with repair and leave the machine with you? 
If we've diagnosed your machine but you decided not to proceed with the repair work and leave it with us, you will need to pay $50 Diagnosis Fee and complete a discharge form transforming ownership of your machine to us. All machines needs to be picked up within 2 weeks of repair, after which Di Bartoli will be charging $20 per week stocking fee. Any machine unclaimed in our workshop for over 3 months and all attempts to contact the owner were made unsuccessful, ownership will be automatically transferred to Di Bartoli Coffee. 

Can I repair my own machine?
Unless you know what you're doing, or you are a certified technician, you can actually cause more harm to your machine and it's best to leave it to the professionals. However If you are in a remote area with limited access to a technician or if you are mechanically oriented, you can ring us for advice on what spare parts and cleaning products to purchase online, request diagrams and learn how to perform some of the simpler repairs or maintenance work.

Do you offer same day service if I live interstate?
We will try our very best. Make sure you ring us few days before to see if it can be guaranteed. Please make sure your same day request is on the Service Sheet attached to the machine. If it isn't, same day will not be guaranteed. 

Can I courier my machine to you?
Yes, however Di Bartoli will not be held liable to any damage incurred in transit on the way to us.

What do I need to do between Services to keep my machine in good conditions?

Here are the fundamentals for all single boiler / heat exchange / twin boiler machines:

  • Use filtered water rather than normal tap water to minimise lime scale build-up on internals and impact the machine's performance. Click here for our recommended solution. Contact us for best advice for SA, TAS, WA and NT.
  • Backflush your machine every fortnight or every 1kg of coffee. Only machines with a release solenoid valve can be backflushed. Contact us if you are not sure about your machine. You will need a powder and a blind filter for backflushing.
  • Clean your grinder every 6 months with grinder cleaner tablets
