Yes, staff training is part of every installation in Toronto. We walk the operator team through daily cleaning, basic troubleshooting, drink profile programming, and the early warning signs of the common faults. Refresher sessions are available on request.
When is replacing the machine cheaper than repairing it?
Rule of thumb: when the repair quote crosses 50% of a refurbished replacement, or when more than one major subsystem (brew unit, boiler, control board) is failing on a 10-plus-year-old high-use machine. We tell you the moment you've hit that line.

Out-of-warranty is the normal state for the La Cimbali machines we service in Toronto. The process doesn't change: real on-site diagnostic, genuine parts on the engineered components, flat rate for the visit, parts billed separately.
