  • To have the ability to change the pressure of the boiler when I want. Just waiting for the parts then I will replace it by myself. Thanks for the offer.

    • If you really feel that this is necessary, you may be better to consider installing a PID and SSR

      • I don't know what an SSR is. It seems there are different opinions on using a PID on a HX machine. What's your take on this?

        • It will enable you to change the boiler pressure (via temperature change) of your machine without opening it up- not that this should be necessary at all if the machine is correctly configured.

          • I see. I will try the Sirai pressurestat first and if doesn't work out to my liking, I will consider your suggestion.

            Many thanks.

              Many thanks.
              I just did some mods to my Oscar including changing the Campini pressurestat to a Sirai. The deadband seems much tighter and the Oscar has never performed better. I have had three Campini pressurestats fail, all leaking but still functioning OK electrically. If the Sirai pressurestat will fit an espresso machine I can't see a reason to use anything else.

              • I did change my p-stat as well to Sirai and I agree with all your points.

                • Noisy pump

                  Hi Antony,

                  I noticed your comment about the noisy pump. My Musica had a faulty pump which has been replaced under warranty in the past 6 months and the new one (maybe the old one too) sounds quite noisy. A friend of mine has the LUX model, purchased 6months to a year after mine and his pump is a lot quieter...Could there be something wrong with mine or is it just noisy? Is there something I can do to make it less noisy?

                  Thanks,

                  Darren.

                  We are a supplier of the Musica and can up date you on a couple of small changes with the Musica over the last four years

                  The teething problem you refer to may be the issue with the preostats in the early model. There was a batch of faulty preostats that found their way in some Musicas. These were not an item produced by Nuova Simonelli but rather an item purchased through another supplier. Incidentally this problem also caused issues for other machine manufacturers using the same brand preostat.

                  This issue has well and truly been resolved since then.

                  The only real change has been some modifications that now make the vibrating pump a bit quitter in operation

                  Other then that there are no changes we are aware of.

                  Please feel free to contact me if I can help any further

                  Regards
                  Antony

                  • Hi Daren

                    with the updated Musicas the actual pumps have not changed but rather a bit more insulation around them to muffle some of the pump noise.

                    We do notice sometimes that some machines are a bit more noisy then others. It may be a slightly off panel alignment that vibrates so check everything over to see if it makes a difference

                    cheers
                    Antony

                    • Does anyone know where I could see/play with one of these in Brisbane. I'm looking for something to replace my leaky EM6910. Cheers.

                      • I bought mine from Di Bellas in Brisbane, 3 years ago.

                        • Thanks, I might check them out tomorrow.

                          • I just received my Musica, the pro-pack with the Sirai p-stat. This is my first machine, so I am not familiar with the different sounds. When I turn it on it takes 5min for the element light to go out accompanied by the sound of the water boiling. After this there is the sound of water dripping (large number of drops). After 5-10min this reduces and continues with the sound of 1 drop/ticking sound per 5seconds. Is this normal?

                            I also have a little bit of steam in the pressure gauge, it formed a single drop of water at the bottom. Has anybody else seen this and will it evaporate after a while?

                            • Who did you buy the machine from? They'd be the first person I'd speak to.

                                I am based in Norway and bought it in Denmark. I have contacted the supplier, just wanted to get some feedback from other users as well.
