6.1. ESPRESSO EQUIPMENT WARRANTY TERMS
General Definition
A warranty is a written guarantee given to the purchaser of a piece of equipment, usually specifying that the manufacturer will make any repairs or replace defective parts free of charge for a stated period of time.
Warranty Period - Duration
1 calendar year (from purchase date)
How RAW fits in
When purchasing a piece of equipment from RAW, we vouch to uphold this manufacturer’s warranty. We are acting as an agent between the buyer and the manufacturer to keep things running smoothly.
What it does cover
Parts: Any parts which fail due to manufacturer’s negligence or faulty parts. This means a piece of equipment that fails because the manufacturer didn’t make the item properly (in fully functioning form). In this situation the manufacturer must replace the faulty part. i.e. if a boiler was not welded together properly.
Labour: Any man-hours used to fix faulty parts during the warranty period but needs to be returned to base. *Labour is not included in the manufacturer’s warranty from the factory, but RAW includes into the warranty we guarantee to maintain.
Return to base: The item must be returned to the manufacturer.
What it does NOT cover
Parts: Failure of parts due to wear and tear i.e. gaskets, o-rings, anti-vacuum valves. These are generally parts which either have a high rate of movement, friction or heat applied to them when the item is in operation. These faults are due to everyday wear and tear and will fail more quickly the more the item is used. Also, does not cover failures of parts caused by water chemistry.
Labour: Any man-hours used to fix/replace parts faulty due to normal wear and tear (even if during the warranty period).
Condition: The Warranty will be voided if the customer opens or modify the equipment.
Warranty vs. Service
Warranty and regular service are two different things. A warranty covers manufacturers faults whereas a service aims to do prescribed preventative maintenance so that the minimum amount of “wear-and-tear” faults happen. Servicing is not included into the price of the machine. Labour and parts that need to be replaced are 100% chargeable.
What we recommend
We recommend following these guidelines to pro-long the life of your new machine and decrease the risk of issues.
- Use recommended water brands and/or water chemistry
- Daily cleaning regiment and use recommended cleaning products
- Following typical servicing routine or purchase a service contract

Water Chemistry
Optimal Ranges Suggested by La Marzocco
Perform a test by using a recommended water tester for analysing cold water samples taken before any water treatment system, possibly directly from the water mains. Results on the calculator refer to chemical/physical behaviour of water at 93°c (boiler temperature). e.g. a particular water might not be corrosive when cold, but very corrosive when at 93°c and 9 bar of pressure.
*Do not test any water from the groups or steam boiler.
