Hi
I would like someones opinion on problems I have with steaming from time to time. The machine is about 2 months old. I heat up machine for 30 minutes, draw shot, bleed steam wand. Sometimes after fully opening steam valve there is little or no steam or water coming out. So I leave it a couple of minutes and plenty of steam. I took it back to supplier(coffee snobs sponsor) and they said it was fixed - steam holes were blocked and they used a needle. Now this is ok and I did the same - I give it a good flush after steaming but cant understand why sometimes it seems to be no steam/ little water coming out and then waiting and it is ok.
Any ideas ??
My second query is how does one remove the steam tip to give it a good clean- I cant get a spanner or wrench to grip and dont want to mark the tip too much .
Thanks
