    Re: Isomac Alba Review

    I have the Isomac Tea which has identical internals at the Alba, with the boiler set on 1.5bars I get ample steam power for doing milk drinks, I dropped it back to 1.2 to see what happened and I did lose a fair bit of steam power so I went back to 1.5. If the machine has been sitting for more than 10-15 mins I always do a cooling flush before pulling shots. I am totally happy with the results so far, I have to top up the water tank often but I used to do that with Silvia when I had her so its no big deal to me.
    When I was looking at purchasing the machine I was told by different people that it had a 1.4l, 1.3l and 1.2l boiler, I think the 1.2l is the correct size.
    Love the pics Oli.
    Enjoy your Alba
    cheers gm

    Hi Dennis,

    When I opened the machine the boiler manufacturing plate does say 1.2 liters. I took a photo (see link above) but it may not be very readable.

    received a reply confirming that it is 1.2liters (see below)
    Hi Oli, this email from Fontana to Fabio is actually passing on the question - not actually providing the answer.

    Thanks guys for the feedback.

    I sent an email to Isomac last week about the boiler size and received a reply confirming that it is 1.2liters (see below).  The importer also called me to confirm this (I must admit, I was pleasantly surprise by the level of customer service and follow up).

    By this stage, I had already opened the machine :-)  

    In practice, the smaller boiler has not been an issue (to me) and it actually means it heats and recover up quicker.

    Buon Giorno Fabio,

    dovresti farmi un favore.

    Rispondere a questo signore. La caldaia della Alba è di 1,2 litri e la dimensione della resitenza è mm 22 x 124 1400 w

    In attesa di conferma ti saluto

    Do they really only have a 1.2L boiler? I was surprised by that
