prezes Since I have bought my V (three years ago) there has always been a difference between 0.5-07 bar but as @“DavecUK” mentioned we have two different systems of detecting the pressure so I decided this should not be out of the norm. The most important thing is, is your coffee what you expect/like it to be? 😀

      prezes I would swap out the gauge on the group or get it re calibrated if I was worried or curious..?

        I think I got to the bottom of this. This morning noticed the group gauge is sitting at around 0.5 bar when not brewing. I was sure I had a photo from last year to check if it was always like this and it wasn’t so definitely issue with gauge. Anything I can do about it or is it replacement only ?

          prezes As I thought it’s the gauge..you can “try” twisting the outer shell a tad, but I think it’s keyed with a square piece, so it won’t adjust it….replacement is the only option I am afraid.

          Note to self: “the OCD is strong in this one” 😁

              Do you need that gauge there?

              Decent De1pro v1.45 - Niche Duo - Niche Zero - Decent is the best machine ever made -

              I don’t at all but as it’s there it is bothering me ever so slightly being out !

              I know what the issue is which is the main thing so might get rid or learn to live with it. I don’t think I’ll be replacing it

              Was that stock? I thought they had a grub screw in there?

                prezes - time for the grub screw to go back in then…

                Problem with redundancy of instruments (which one do you trust, and are they calibrated) or essentially “useless” ones. For instance, yes, you have the pressure measured on the group… but you don’t need it, nor can you influence it. If you had a flow control valve (like the Bianca) then I understand the need of the pressure gauge.

                  • Hi Dave,

                  My machines been rock solid for the past 5-6 years however it has just started buzzing when I pull the lever down… coffee still comes out but definitely doesn’t sound right..

                  Any idea what it is and where to get replacement part if needed.

                  Can’t seem to attach a video can I email it to you for your review?

                  Cheers Doug

                  Regards

                  DavecUK hey Dave found another thread where you said it was HX solenoid, (turned HX off and it stopped) my machines plumbed in so little tough to see exactly where it’s coming from.

                  Do you have a pic of said solenoid and how is best way of cleaning it??

                  Cheers

                      Take it apart and look for a bit of “something” under the seat….it can be a tiny speck you can hardly see.

                          Hey Dave, here is a short video.

                          Ok I will have a look soon.

                          I have school holidays with guests in the house will it be ok to leave for a couple weeks until house is back to normal?

                          Thanks

                              dougyea Yup one thing, check weather preheat is on or off, if preheat is on, switch it off and see if the noise stops.

                              If preheat is off then you know that it’s not the preheat solenoid but the auto fill solenoid.
