The Kaunas branch in Žaliakalnis is open Mon–Fri 9:00–18:00 and closed at weekends. You will find it on the Zanavykų market side, next to the pizzeria „Bzz” and the salon „Grožio galerija”, in the building that used to house a post office.

Before you set out, do a few simple things so that the diagnostics go smoothly and you do not leave any coffee or milk residue inside the machine. Before cleaning, make sure the machine is unplugged from the mains.
- Empty the bean container, the grounds container and the drip tray.
- Pour out the water from the tank and, if your machine has a milk system, rinse it.
- Bring the power cable and, if you have one, the milk container and any other accessories that were in use when the fault occurred.
- Take a photo of the error message shown on the screen or write down when the fault appears: when switching on, grinding, dispensing water or frothing milk.
A short description of your observations, for example „the coffee has been dripping for a week, and the machine had not been cleaned for a long time before that”, saves the technician time when looking for the cause.
What happens after you leave the machine
Diagnostics is carried out first – it costs €10. It determines which component has failed, and based on the result you can decide whether to repair the machine.
Indicative price list figures: replacing seals – from €15, grinder or boiler repair – from €45, brew unit repair – from €50. Repairs or replacement of the grinder, boiler, brew unit and seals come with a 2-month warranty. If the machine is insured, you can obtain a defect report for the insurance company – it costs €30, and the expenses are covered by the insurance.
How long the repair will take depends on the fault and the parts, so it is worth confirming a more precise timeframe when you leave the machine. If you are unsure about the cause, first read the article how to diagnose and understand coffee machine faults.
When it is worth repairing a coffee machine
If the machine has recently started to hiss, dispense coffee more slowly or show a descaling message, cleaning or replacing the seals is usually enough. Repair is often cheaper than buying a new machine; it is best to make the decision after diagnostics.
It is different when several components have failed at once, for example the boiler, brew unit and grinder. In that case it is worth comparing the cost with the price of a similar machine. Much depends on the age and how much you use the machine: in offices it works more intensively, and we write about this in more detail in the article when it is worth repairing and when to replace the device.
The machine does not switch on at all? Before checking, unplug the machine from the mains and do not try to open its casing. Then check the socket, the cable and the position of the tank, and you will find other tips in the article what to do if your coffee machine does not switch on.
Hard water leaves limescale deposits, so regular descaling helps protect the boiler and the brew unit.
