Hi all, I have a newly purchased (seconds) La Cimbali M21 Junior, looks quite clean inside, a few rust points around the screw heads.
I cleaned it up and tested it out, having only had a Breville Barista Express to date, this seems like a great machine.
I noted as the machine warmed up the pressure gauge kept climbing, well into the red so I switched it off.
I got a burst of steam from what I assume is the pressure relief valve on the top shortly after.
I found posts here that showed how to lower the boiler pressure with the nut and spring, but after winding that off to the outer limits of the thread I still have a dial going well into red.
My options are get a tech to look at it, which I think is what I will do.
Is there anything that I can check before then that might be worth doing before I haul it off to a service place?
Cheers
