Hi all,
I have just recently become the new owner of a 2nd hand Europiccola (the newer model with one switch), and so far its been great. Ive managed to have my local roaster grind the coffee fine enough for me to pull a decent shot with nice crema and taste.
The question I have is, I keep seeing youtube videos where the Europiccola hisses while idle, probably letting off excess pressure. For some reason mine does not do this. It tends to reach pressure, sit idle quietly, and then build up pressure as the temperature reduces. Should I be worried by this?
Im also noticing that my pulls are more like around the 15 second mark, rather than the 20 to 25 seconds I hear is the norm.
I dont know if the seals have been replaced before so Im wondering if my machine isnt building up sufficient pressure.
Any advice would be great, particularly related to the non-hissing issue.
Regards,
Cam
