HiTech Espresso

PROFESSIONAL FIX ! Our 5 year old Gaggia Babila developed a leak during the espresso pour a few months ago. It didn’t seem to affect the smooth operation of the machine but meant a lot of extra work cleaning up the counter underneath. Of course this leak wasn’t going to go away….it had to be fixed. ONLY ONE PLACE ! Dave and his highly trained technicians at HiTech Espresso are the only people we will trust with our beloved espresso machine. I made the call to Dave and he said bring it in. SO WE DID ! After a long long 3 hour drive from La Jolla in terrible traffic snarls we finally made it here a few minutes after 2pm on Sat, Oct 4th. I had phoned Dave from the car that we had hit huge traffic jams and he understood. NO FUSS ! We left our espresso machine with Dave and headed home. I figur

When I gave Dave my machine, it had been completely destroyed by a FedEx delivery. Dave fixed it up in less than a week. He left my machine better than new, working and shining. He knows exactly what he is doing and is the best with these machines. He gave me a sheet full of very helpful information about coffee typed personally. Fast, Efficient and lovely service. I’ve seen the reviews on here and had been skeptical, but the bad reviews aren’t about his work, they are mean, personal reviews, which did not match my experience with Dave. Highly recommend David & his team.

These guys do some high quality and honest work. The repair wasn't super cheap but it was worth every penny. 12 year old Gaggia Machine is working as good as new.

We were referred to HiTech by a local repair shop who said, "If you have an Alex Duetto, I wouldn't trust anyone else with it. You have to take it to HiTech." In two weeks we have our espresso machine back, in great condition, and with great tips on how to make better espresso and coffee, and maintenance. Extremely pleased and thankful we have a local repair shop who takes such good care of these machines.

Let’s start with what others have already mentioned .Yes, the owner isn’t the warmest person, and honestly, he knows it! That’s not a knock, just an observation. The thing is, he really knows his craft. My machine was fixed quickly and at a fair price, which is exactly what I came for. His assistant/apprentice is incredibly friendly and definitely keeps the place running smoothly ( he’s a real gem) Would it be nice if the owner were a bit more approachable? Sure. But at the end of the day, his job is to get the machines back up and running and he does that exceptionally well. That’s why I’m giving this place 5 stars. I’d absolutely come back. And I’m sure he’s heard it before: being a little more personable might bring in even more business. But he seems content doing things his way and i
