Hi,
My ~2 year old Barista Express has never missed a beat until recently when I noticed a burnt coffee smell while I was steaming the milk. It turns out I'm getting low pressure from the wand and there is steam coming out the group head. The pressure from the wand is still enough to steam the milk, albeit slowly, but the issue with the steam out the group head is annoying and if I have the portafilla in the coffee gets burnt.
It seems like it must be a leak in a seal or a hose somewhere, so wondering if anyone has any advice or guidance..?
Breville support referred me to a local repairer but I'd rather have a go at it myself if it's something relatively straightforward.
Thanks for any and all help.
