Reply to comment by ubermonkey in This espresso machine is from 2004, i got it from Savers last year and it works like brand new. I know people online who have even older ones that still work perfectly. by Waryur
What do the acronyms you used (nb, pid) mean?

“N.b.” is Latin. It stands for “nota bene”, which means “note well” — basically “pay attention to this part!”
PID is an electronic controller that stabilizes the brewing temp of an espresso machine. The abbreviation stands for “proportional integral derivative” but it’s mostly just referred to with the initials.
This is a quickly Googled link that explains it. Nicer machines have them, but often older ones can have them added.
