No, the crema was dark like thick honey/caramel colour. Though, the heat issue is an interesting one and I have been wanting to check that the temperature is right. Im still learning the vagarities and idiosyncrities of the big machine!!
Thursday, just gone for example, I got to work at 9am and didnt get a chance to set up how I wanted to until about 10.30am!! It was madness. We didnt stop until 2pm when the place went dead and we spent an hour cleaning up!! I was frustrated because the steam wand had milk all over it (I fastidiously clean after every jug I froth) and it took several soakings to get it clean! And my coffee was just pouring from the spout as the grind needed to be adjusted and I hadnt even been able to get to do that much...[/rant]

So, yeah, Thursday was a bit hetic.
And so I also have not been getting huge crema again recently either!
