Cheap fix for expensive problem
I used this in my Breville 870Xl to replace a pump that had been there for about 3-4 years since purchase. Most places seem to quote around $100-400 to repair this in the machine. It's not a bad deal if you don't have the time and have the money. But if you like to DIY then this is the part you need.

My machine works like new again.
Our Starbucks Barista (by Saeco) machine quit working and my wife had it in a box destined for junk in the garage. It was a really nice machine, we've had it for 15 years already. I tore into it over the weekend, be careful, the back cover metal is almost "knife sharp" on the edges. It's a really rugged machine and completely serviceable. Since it still heated, I surmised it had to be the pump that was defective. Per usual, Amazon had it in stock and cheap. I ordered and received it a couple of days later. It was an easy reinstall, although I had to use some teflon tape to seal the lines. My machine now works as good as ever.

Very happy with the purchase! It’s better than the EX5 model.
Very very happy with this motor!Used this to replace my Saeco Starbucks Barista machine. Recommended part was the EX5 which I originally bought. But I was sent a broken, moldy and returned item which I then had to return. I was forced to try this out because replacement would’ve taken another 2 weeks or so. But this seller offered a normal fast shipping despite what’s going on in the world right now. I trusted people’s review that it would work on my machine. I’m so glad I did! It works so much better that the EX5. 51w vs 40w. So far the pulled shots have been accurate and even. It’s still new so I’ll update my review if anything goes wrong. But I doubt it’d fail anytime soon. I provided a video to show how evenly it pulls the shots. I highly recommend it!

Still working after 5 years! + Threads are 3/8-24 + O-Ring.
I put one of these into a delonghi ec702 as an upgrade in 2016 and it's still going strong today. (2 shots/day x 5 years x 365 = 3500 shots. Not bad at all!)Thread size:I was concerned that the pump was failing and wanted to measure it's pressure + also add a pressure gauge to my espresso setup.This fitting is the best food safe fitting I can currently find on amazon: the 3AN side (3/8-24 thread) goes into the pump but has to be shortened and add an O-ring at the base of the fitting.https://www.amazon.com/M10x1-0-3AN-Fitting-Adapter-Clutch/dp/B08XDLZ497I cut off the m10 side of the fitting and welded on a 1/8 NPT Female coupler. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0878G2CDNAnyway. Pump kicks butt - appears to still be making 210 PSI, grinder was broken so pump was maxing out.

Test the pump first
This pump was a great value and had great reviews. It works better than the original that came on the Delonghi EC680mM... BUT!This pump was 14 months old according to the sticker attached and it only came with a little red cap on one end.There was no water in the pump.It was NOT primed.After FOUR, yes, 4, rebuilds of the espresso machine, and a lot of frustration rebuilding the pump because it was dry and seized up, I finally have a functional espresso maker.And let me say, the pressure is much better than the original pump. The espresso is creamy, frothy on top and delicious.Thanks to a bad "new" pump, I can break down this machine now in minutes and put it back together! ☕️

Made my machine like new!
Wahoo! The pump arrived first thing in the morning and my wife was drinking cappuccino 45 minutes later!This was a 1:1 direct replacement for my Starbucks Barista made by Saeco. (The original was brass too.). The dramatic increase was the difference between new and how it degraded over time until it finally failed. Now our machine is like new!HINT: if you find a nice espresso maker at a thrift store, chances are the pump needs to be replaced. If it hasn't been abused, you can remove most internal water scale and crud with some citric acid added to the water in the reservoir. Use the old pump to cycle the water and citric acid through the heating tank and steam wand a couple times. After cleaning the crud, then replace the pump. Chances are, your thrift store machine will be good as new!

Worked great in Expobar Brewtus 2.
Bought this as a replacement for the dying pump in my Expobar Brewtus 2. Fit perfectly and no issues, all is well.Oh, wait. It was really hard to finally bolt into position. On my machine the pump is held in place by two thick rubber angle supports with bolts that go upward from under the machine. I had to undo the base of the supports to get the pump out. Because the rubber supports are flexible it was very difficult to thread the nuts onto the bolts after installing. I ended up switching the bolts so they pointed downward and threading the nuts onto the bolt that stuck out the bottom of the machine.Cheers!

Model with a very updated production year
The year of production in the replacement I received was a 2018!! this is great, since the usual life for these are around 5 years, meaning I can still use my old home la cimbali domus for another 5 years or so, let see how long it goes with the correct maintenance. It was shipped promptly and very well packaged, cant complain about anything. Overall Recommended.

Does a nice job but have failed after only 3 years
I've purchased an identical unit 3 years ago to replace the original pump in my saeco aroma machine. The orignial pump lived for 10 years and the replacement only 3 years. So I suppose this unit will last approximately the same time. But while it is working, it does an equivalent job as the original one.

Works great
I have replaced the previous ULKA that has been worked for less than 1 year. Not sure why it failed, may be the reasone was the air release valve that I have replaced too, but the new one works perfectly.

Pump works perfectly.
The pump had the matching part number and works perfectly. The brass portion of the pump that connects to the T leading to the boiler did not come with the required O ring and the shape is slightly different. Teflon tape on the end fitting solved this issue and the machine is working perfectly. The rating reflects the lack of the O ring, otherwise very satisfied. Thanks.

Works perfectly, fixed my machine
This is a replacement pump in the Saeco/Starbucks Espresso machine. Machine was failing to generate enough pressure. Replaced the pump fairly easily and machine is working perfectly.
