I picked up a secondhand sunbeam EM2300 cheaply and it had the usual crud build up and lack of maintenance. I'm trying to get it up and running for a friend and the usual chemical flush and descale seem to have done wonders. However, the steam wand has poor performance after about 20-25 seconds where the pressure slowly degrades down to nothing.
I've noticed this machine doesn't have the usual steam pumping sound associated with most espresso machines ("tap, tap, tap" with 1/2 second pause between pumps). Is this normal for this model? I'm thinking the pump "should" be supplying the pressure but because it's not the pressure drops off.
Any help will be appreciated
cheers guys!
