I have an espresso machine that will only work if I unhook the green ground wire that’s on the inside of the appliance. As soon as I hook the ground back up, it trips the GFCI outlet. It seems completely dry on the inside and looks clean and without corrosion. Any suggestions?
Thank you ‘Steve & Katrina’ for a well-thought-out explanation. Roadrunner 58 got a thumbs down for giving an incompetent and useless answer that was entirely unhelpful.

I have run cold water through it 3 times; I have run cold water & vinegar through it twice and made 2 pots of coffee.
It is a Black & Decker 12 cup automatic. Anyone any ideas?

Was thinking about getting this one:

I have never used an espresso machine before so I would like something simple and easy to use, but at the same time, would still like quality drinks.

The following are my two finalists:

Any recommendation?

Thanks!

I’m actually planning a cappuccino / coffee / panini sandwich & chocolate bar all together.

The location will be in Toronto "where I live right now" but I’m just wondering if it will be more expensive downtown where most famous buildings are beside or at least people will see the CN tower when they enter my shop.
Toronto may sound small when people are talking about the CNT because the tower is an extremely tall structure.
