Hi Guys, I am pretty new to the Silvia and just looking for advice on workflow, and making sure I am keeping the machine safe.
My first attempt came out with beautiful coffee by chance, but it raised a couple of questions.
1. How long should my shot pour take? 20+ seconds?
2. The main issue was using a temperature gauge for frothing, but I seemed to run out of pressure before reaching optimal temp (70ish) on half a jug of milk.. I kept pushing it and just reached temp, but wondered if that was bad for the machine running it dry? Should it even be getting that close to running out of pressure, and how much should I be able to do?
3. When I have finished, should I de-pressurize the machine when its turned off? or leave is sitting like that to cool down by itself?
Any other tips, advice or things I should know about this machine are also appreciated.
Thanks for your time
