Howdy all,
I would like to comment on my slightly frustrating milk frothing experiences with the gaggia classic and have 2 questions answered.
I am getting okay microfoam with the gaggia, but I do find it a little lack lustre in the pressure department, especially when the light goes off, which is about 20 sec after i begin steaming. Its not that it wont heat milk adequately, its just that it meanders its way up to 65 degrees. HOWEVER, (and this brings me to my first Q) I steamed for the first time today without first pouring a shot and i seemed to get more pressure/power from the wand. Is this logical and if so why? Ive heard a few CSers talk about stopping the steaming and refilling the boiler by pumping hot water out of the wand when the light goes out, but this seems excessive... doesnt it?
Second Q: should i just get a silvia attachment and be done with it or will this not affect the steam pressure?
thanks
