  • Silvia drip tray

    I wanted to make a muggacino, so I removed the perforated cover of the drip tray to pull a shot. With the drip tray 100% dry (I run a tidy house), I ran some hot water through the PF to warm the mug and to my surprise a small puddle appear at the rear of the drip tray.

    Anyone experience this???

    I shall have to remove the vertical splay wall behind the group head to see where it is coming from, but is this a normal overflow operation, or is something wrong? :-[

        Id say it there to drain any water that falls under the drip tray onto the base. Theres no reason why it couldnt be used as a drain for the tray, but I would make sure that any water that does fall under the drip tray can still get out. This will avoid corrosion.
