Hi All,
I've been to my local recycling centre again and picked up a Breville ESP8 for $4 as a friend is looking for a cheap / free machine to keep her grumpy husband happy.
The steam wand doesn't seem to work although once the machine heats it does seem to try to push something out. The unit is utterly filthy as one might expect for something that was sent to the rubbish dump - so the first thing I try will be to give the machine a good clean out. Apparently the steam wand can be removed to clean it.
If it transpires not to be a cleanliness issue, might someone be kind enough to help me with what else to look for in trying to diagnose this?? I did have a Google and apparently the O Ring above the steam outlet might also be to blame. Not that I actually know what one of those is of course but I have a sneaky suspicion myself and my philips head screwdriver are just about to find out
TIA
