Hi guyz!
I hope you can help me!
my stupid steam wand sputters thus causing water and steam to come out at the same time...
even if i purge the wand for more than a minute.. the same thing happens throughout the steaming process.
Theres just too much water in my milk and its awful!
Checklist
- Whirlpool
- Microfoam
- 1.5 bars pressure in boiler
- valve opened to max..
- tried with 120 mls and 300mls
Just got it serviced a month ago by grinders coffee... they changed a seal for the wand as it was leaking ...
Theres just 1 steam tip hole... is that the reason why it sputters and spit?
The hole is approx 1 mm in size and the wand is tiny.. The steam tip has a male fitting with an inner diameter of 5mm.. that is 1 mm bigger than a silvias.. Ridiculous..
takes me almost a minute to heat up 300mls of milk... something is definitely wrong!
I wanted to ask grinders to swap the steam wand with a grimac mia steam wand.. but the techies there are too busy.
I can only deal with the receptionist...
Was also thinking of ordering the parts from US and changing it myself..
Any help with be very much appreciated!!
p/s: you can explain using enthropy and enthalpy and dryness fraction and that sort of crap... thanks!
Desperately needs coffee,
Jerome
