Hi all, after some advice about maintaining boiler capacity for my Lelit Combi. I guess the same processes apply for other single boiler machines like Silvia etc too.
So I take it the main enemy of the boiler is steam, excess steaming depletes the boiler without refilling. So Ive got a 300ml boiler to play with, so how long can I steam for before taking a break? If I texure milk enough for 2 lattes I take it Ive still got room to play with as far as the boiler is concerned?
So after steaming, turn on the brew switch which activates the pump and runs water through the group and tops up the boiler - run for how long? The temps up cause the boiler is at steam temp so the water spits and farts through the showerscreen initially, so it needs a decent run?
Thanks,
Kahvi
