What makes the Mytico Due a two-bean machine?
Twin grinders and dual hoppers let it pour espresso from one bean and milk drinks or decaf from a second, selected per drink. When the two grinders start dosing differently it is usually uneven burr wear from one hopper doing more work. We weigh each side and recalibrate.
Why does the Mytico brew group need different servicing than older A-Line?
The Mytico brew group was redesigned, so its lubrication points and wear surfaces are not where an older A-Line technician expects them. Greasing the wrong path or missing one causes early stalls. We service it on its own terms, with the correct food-safe lubrication and fresh gaskets.
The secondary grinder on our Mytico Due stopped engaging. What is wrong?
Usually a failed motor relay or a feedback sensor not registering, rather than the grinder motor itself. We test the relay, confirm the sensor signal, and replace whichever has failed. The machine can run on the primary grinder while the part is on order if you need it.
Our Mytico Due FoamMaster foam has gone thin. How do you fix it?
Almost always milk protein in the foam chamber or a worn air-intake spring. We strip and sanitize the FoamMaster, fit a fresh spring and O-rings, recalibrate the air-flow, and verify foam density on each profile. A consistent daily clean keeps it dense.
How many cups a day is the Mytico Due rated for?
Up to about 150 cups a day, which suits boutique hotels, specialty cafes, and restaurants rather than the highest-volume QSR work. At that level the milk hygiene and brew-group service set the schedule, and we tie them to your real volume and water.
iQFlow on our Mytico Due is not holding the profile. What do you check?
Usually a flow meter fouled with scale or the pump losing pressure. We measure pump output, clean the flow meter, and recalibrate the iQFlow profile against the recipe target. If the pump cannot hold spec, we quote a replacement before fitting one.
The touchscreen on our Mytico Due froze after an update. Is it broken?
Probably just software. We roll the firmware back to a stable build or apply the corrected patch, then restore your drink profiles from backup. A screen that only hung on a firmware update rarely needs replacing.
Is the Mytico Due worth repairing as it ages?
Usually, comfortably. Most faults are seals, sensors, a grinder relay, or a brew-group service, all a fraction of replacement. We flag replacement only when an old unit needs several major parts at once, and you get the math first.
How much does a repair visit cost?
Flat rate for the visit, parts billed at their actual cost on top. You'll hear the rate when you book, and for bigger jobs we quote in writing on-site before any work starts. No estimate that balloons mid-job.
How fast can you get here?
Same-day. Call in the morning and a technician is usually on-site before the day is out; calls placed later in the day book for the next morning. Urgent breakdowns get priority routing.
Which areas do you cover?
The GTA and most of the Golden Horseshoe: Toronto through Mississauga, Vaughan, and Markham, out to Oshawa, Hamilton, and Niagara. If you're not sure you're in range, call and we'll tell you straight.
Do I need a service contract?
No. We work call by call. Plenty of customers put us on a maintenance schedule eventually, but that's their choice after seeing the work, never a requirement.
Are the repairs warrantied?
Parts carry their manufacturer warranty, and we stand behind our labour: if the same fault recurs, call us and we'll review it. Specific terms are discussed upfront on each job, not promised in marketing copy.
Do you repair on-site or take the machine away?
On-site whenever possible, which is most of the time. If a job genuinely needs the bench, like a full boiler rebuild or major electronics work, we'll say so before anything leaves your building.
How do I book a service call?
Call us or send the form on this page. We confirm the machine, the fault, and a time window the same day. If it's urgent, say so and we'll route the nearest technician.
What happens on the first visit?
Diagnosis first: we confirm the fault, tell you what caused it, and quote the fix before touching a wrench. Most repairs finish in that same visit because the common wear parts ride on the truck.
Do you carry parts or order them in?
High-wear parts for the platforms we service constantly ride on the truck. Anything else we order, usually next-day where suppliers allow, and we tell you the lead time before committing you to anything.
My machine is older or out of production. Will you still look at it?
Usually, yes. We service legacy machines for as long as parts can be sourced, and we're honest when a repair stops making financial sense against a replacement. You get the math, you make the call.
Are you cheaper than the manufacturer's service network?
Often, but that's not the pitch. We quote against the actual work, not a factory pricing book, and we'll tell you when a manufacturer warranty claim is the better route. Transparency is the value; the price usually follows.
Can you train our staff so this doesn't happen again?
Yes, and we do it by default on the way out. Half of repeat faults trace back to skipped daily cleaning or wrong routine, so the technician walks your team through what actually matters before leaving.
