About
About ExoCoffee
ExoCoffee repairs, services and maintains coffee equipment. We work from Durbanville and cover the greater Cape Town area, on machines that range from a single-boiler home espresso machine to a three-group café setup with its grinders.
What we actually do
Fault finding first. Most coffee machine problems come down to pressure, temperature, flow or electrical supply, and each of those can be measured. We test before we replace, quote before we work, and tell you when a repair isn't worth the money.
The work covers repairs, scheduled servicing, grinder work and preventative maintenance plans.
Based in Durbanville
Durbanville is our base and the Northern Suburbs are our closest work, but we travel across Cape Town, out towards Stellenbosch and Somerset West, and to areas within roughly 50km of Durbanville. We don't have branches elsewhere — everything runs from here. The service areas page sets out exactly where we travel.
Domestic and commercial
Home baristas and businesses need different things from a technician. A home machine usually needs an honest assessment of whether a repair is economical. A café needs the machine back in service today, and the cause removed so it doesn't repeat next week. We handle both, including commercial multi-group machines and bean-to-cup machines in offices and guest accommodation.
Workshop and onsite
Compact domestic and bean-to-cup machines are normally repaired on the bench, where covers can come off and the machine can be cycle-tested properly. Commercial machines are usually diagnosed and repaired on site so the business can keep trading, with common spares carried along to finish the job on the first visit where possible.
Prevention over emergencies
Seals harden, scale accumulates and burrs dull on a fairly predictable schedule. We'd rather replace those on a planned visit than be called out mid-service. For businesses that means a maintenance plan matched to volume; for home machines it usually means an annual service.
Equipment we know
Brands that come through regularly include La Marzocco, Rancilio, Nuova Simonelli, Sanremo, Gaggia, Philips, Breville, Brasilia, DeLonghi, Siemens. We're an independent repair business, not a manufacturer-authorised agent, so if a machine is still under factory warranty we'll point you to that channel first.
