DavecUK The other thing to check is that you are not in HX mode. The smaller 2 position switch on the right when you remove the drop tray.
It’s on the brew priority mode (ModeX) in the top I position.
I believe the steam pressure sits around 0.5 bars to 0.875 bars(?) (the middle of the 0.75 bars to 1 bar marker) after the machine has been on and warmed up 30+ minutes.
Doram As MediumRoastSteam said, have a look at the link to the other thread because you might have a similar issue
I watched some videos and it seems pretty similar to MisterH1337. From cold to warmup, my max steam pressure goes to 2 bars, vesus watching Doram’s timelapse that goes up to 2.75 bars.
I’ve never steamed two milk jugs back to back so I don’t know if the second steaming would result in pressure dropping below 1 bar. I ran a test after the machine was on 30+ minutes, flushed it to get the boiler running and steam pressure maxed at 1.25bars. Then “steamed” for 30+ seconds (letting it run without steaming anything), it ran at 1 bar in its entirety. Turned off the steam. Waited 15 seconds or so, turned the steam back on to run for 30+ seconds and it started off running at 1 bar, but dropped slightly to 0.8 bar for a couple of seconds before going back up to 1 bar the rest of the time.
As for my expectations in steaming and whether it’s actually working fine and just the manometer reading incorrectly - I don’t have a baseline as to what to expect from steaming as this is my first machine. My milk jug gets hot to the touch enough that I can’t hold it for >1 second so that’s when I presume the temperature is hot enough.
MediumRoastSteam Makes me wonder whether they have updated the firmware….
Not sure if this tidbit of info is helpful but my machine was manufactured May 2021
