Hi all,
Thought I'd update how it's been going: the steam boiler doesn't seem to get refilled automatically, so I make a habit of refilling it after steaming milk.
The temp dials don't work & have condensation (common issue that will investigate when I open it up), and there seems to be no indication when the brew/steam boiler heating coil is active.
I still have the original steam wand, with plastic tip removed, so it's a short, single hole tip. I plan to swap to a Silvia wand soon.
I got a Brevile SmartGrinderPro as well, and getting decent crema shots with Aldi medium roast Lazzio beans (roasted in Richmond, Melbourne according to reddit). I'm struggling with steaming milk, but hoping it comes with practice.
