      Ok, i havent read the other linked threads, but ive had a Gaggia now for about 2-3weeks.
      I played with the steaming wand just for the sake of it.....had a kitchen sponge under it and turned it on to find when the most steam was coming out, by sight n sound.

      Damn it went hard for awhile!!!!
      But slowly dies off when the light went out....waited....died....waited.....died.....(etc)

      Hang on, no water pumping means the water will eventually run out in the boiler.....smacked myself in the forehead.
      Gave it a pump, let it heat up, bang on the steam again.

      pretty obvious when you try to nut it out logically....steaming = no pumping, it just heats up the boiler and you let out the pressured air......therefore you have to top it up occasionally with water for it to be able to create steam.

      And while were on the subject....time to order a Silvia wand

          Well i got the arm from Di Bartoli - youre right, great service and easy peasy to attach. Another EXCELLENT CSs sponsor Im happy to support.

          Cant say Im having the extent of the results you had, but my steaming is definitely better. I have more control over the steaming and get more micro foamed creamy milk at the end. And as for the coffee beans WOW. I got the house blend and Im so happy with it. Exactly as described. smooth creamy caramel butterscotch notes. PErfect in milk YUM. How you doing your end?

          Ive been on the look out for a drawer to go under the machine now to accommodate the silvia mod. Cant find one so i think i might get one custom made out of Huon Pine same as my tamper. Dont want to think about the cost, but...whatever

            One month on Cyn, and Im still not 100% happy with my steaming. I want more and more and still am so so so far away from a rosetta.

            Hows it going at your end??
