What's the history of the machine? Need to rule out scale before anything else.
The classic steam thermostat limits it quite a lot, such that you need to start steaming very soon after flicking the steam switch. Also, don't open the valve fully, try just a quarter turn. I guess you've tried that though?

Not sure what the issue is, but have had a Gaggia Classic way back when and it does not behave like that. Seems to me like the boiler is not coming up sufficiently to pressure on the steam setting.

Still struggling with the steam wand. Does this look “normal” or do I need to fiddle with something. Even after a minute of (admittedly poor technique) steaming milk, I achieve absolutely no texture. Never had any problem on my Cubika with what I thought was a much poorer steam wand.
