Group gasket leaking
A leaking group gasket is routine wear; we renew the gasket and dispersion screen as a pair and verify the seal.
Premium espresso, kept honest
Vela Vintage acting up with the morning crowd waiting? We know this multi-boiler machine well: per-group temperature drift, a steam boiler slow to recover, a group that will not seal, a keypad gone unresponsive. Tell us the model and the symptom and we repair most of it in one visit, parts already on the van.
We'll get back to you today.

Wega · Premium traditional espresso
The Vela Vintage is Wega's current Vela-family machine, a premium multi-boiler built for specialty cafes. It runs upscale hospitality at up to 400 shots a day, with per-group boilers and PID giving each station its own stable temperature and twin steam wands for milk. On the bench it behaves like the rest of the premium Wega range: predictable wear at the gaskets, steam valves, and flow meters, with the occasional sensor drifted out of spec.
Why Grajqevci
Call in the morning and a technician is usually on-site before the day is out. Most Wega Vela Vintage jobs get diagnosed and fixed on the first visit.
Commercial coffee equipment is all we do, and Wega Vela Vintage is part of the weekly rotation. Not a generalist guessing at a service manual. Genuine OEM parts, industry-standard procedures.
Flat rate for the visit, with parts billed separately. For bigger jobs you'll see a written quote on-site before we proceed.

Vela Vintage faults we diagnose
These are the Vela Vintage faults we meet on real service calls, from per-group temperature drift to steam recovery and dosing problems, each with its cause and the fix.
A leaking group gasket is routine wear; we renew the gasket and dispersion screen as a pair and verify the seal.
Channelling on one group is an oil-clogged screen. We replace it and backflush the group to restore even flow.
Brew pressure below spec is the pump or the OPV. We gauge it, adjust the OPV, and quote a pump if it cannot hold 9 bar.
A pump loud on startup is a worn rotary or trapped air. We bleed the line, inspect the head, and replace the rotary if it is worn.
Per-group temperature drift on the multi-boiler Vela is sensor wear or PID drift. We measure brew temperature at each group, recalibrate the PID, and replace the sensor if it has wandered.
A steam boiler slow to recover is scaled or running a tired element. We descale, test element draw, and replace the element if it is degraded.
Water under the machine gets pressure-tested by circuit so we can pin the leak and replace the seal behind it.
An inlet solenoid that is scaled or failing gets descaled and tested electrically, and replaced if the coil is gone.
A dripping steam valve is cartridge wear. We rebuild it with a new cartridge and seals and confirm it closes dry.
Weak steam means the boiler is not holding pressure, so we descale and test the pressurestat and element together.
Volumetric doses that drift are flow-meter buildup. We clean the meter, confirm its pulse, and reprogram doses to a calibrated glass.
An unresponsive keypad is a failed membrane or a controller fault behind it. We test continuity, then replace the keypad assembly or trace the controller.
Auto-fill that will not engage is a scaled probe or a failed solenoid. We test both and replace whichever has quit.
A cold cup warmer is a failed element or switch. We test both and replace what is out of spec.

FAQ
20 answers covering service, repair, parts, installation, warranty, and edge cases.
Updated July 2026
Each group runs its own boiler and PID, so one station's temperature does not sag when another is pulling shots. It is what lets the Vela Vintage hold quality at up to 400 cups a day, and it is also why a temperature problem usually traces to a single group rather than the whole machine.
That points at that group's sensor or PID calibration drifting. We measure brew water at each group, recalibrate the offset, and replace the sensor if it has wandered out of spec.
Almost always scale on the element, with a tired element or drifted pressurestat behind the stubborn cases. We descale, test the element draw, and verify the pressurestat so steam comes back under load.
Yes, that is its rating, and the per-group boilers are built for it. At sustained high volume the wear parts arrive faster, so a regular service interval keeps it reliable.
Almost always. It is a premium capital machine, and the common faults, gaskets, valves, sensors, a flow meter, cost a fraction of replacing it. We quote the repair and give you an honest read on remaining life.
It tracks your water and volume. On harder local water a busy Vela Vintage often wants a descale every couple of months, and we check scale condition on every visit.
Usually it is a worn membrane or a controller fault behind it, not the whole machine. We test continuity, then replace the keypad assembly or trace the controller.
No, it pairs with an external commercial grinder. We will check burrs, dose, and calibration while we are there, but the grinder is serviced as its own item.
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.
Same-day in most cases. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
