Coffee Appreciation

Currently when steaming the pressure drops half way through and I need to stop and wait till it gets up to temp again.

Not used a mod but what’s your your steam routine? I used to get that until someone on here pointed out that the way the boiler works is kind of counterintuitive to the way you want to steam.

So, you flick the steam switch, wait 45 seconds or so for the light to go out to come on (whatever) and start steaming. It steams well for 10-15 seconds but then the pressure drops off to no more than a trickle.

What has happened is the boiler has stopped heating when the light comes on and it won’t heat again until the temperature has dropped back down below a certain point. But you started steaming and used up the head of steam, and it now won’t pressure up again until the boiler temperature has dropped and the heater kicks in again.

What you need to do, is start steaming within about 10 seconds of flicking the switch. That way, the boiler stays on all the time you’re steaming and the pressure stays high. Yours is a later machine than mine but hopefully it’s the same boiler setup 👍
