had my ECM in for repair and the tech commented that my steam temp/pressure was way too high. I have it set at 2 bar, which is allowable with the updated V3. He changed it back down to 1.4 bar or so
He said that 2 bar is too high because "it will burn the milk", which makes no sense to me. Surely it's the user that burns the milk, not the machine. My other machine is a Linea 3 group so I'm accustomed to a lot of steam. I prefer coffee that's good to drink immediately, so I make it cooler than standard cafe temp. He was also making a confusing claim that the high steam temp will affect the brew, somehow. I can't figure this, since it's a dual boiler machine with PIDs for both boilers..
I didn't want to argue the point too much because he surely knows more about this than me, but are his claims accurate?
