Hi all,
As ACT temperatures have dropped latey, the Minister for Finance has been requesting hot chocolates to ward off the chills, with a shot of Baileys too! I digress...
Anywho, I have noticed that while texturing milk, with the pressure guage at 1.2 bar, the guage will drop to lower than 0.7 bar before the pump kicks in, about 40 seconds. Im trying to texture a 2/3 filled 600ml jug and about the same time the temperature gets to 60 degrees, there is a hint of a screech beginning and the swirl slows down. I get the impression its about to run out of oomph.
Without a jug, from 1.2 bar, tap open full, 40 seconds to drop to 0.7 bar, a pump cycle, mabye 3 seconds worth, impressive twin streams of dry steam clearly visible. Another 40 seconds, about 0.4 bar, another quick pump cycle, steam is no longer visible, wouldnt move coffee grinds off a tea spoon.
My question for experienced Giotto owners is, does yours behave the same, machine that is?
What is the "normal" pressure drop before the pump kicks in? Is there a minimum? Im not really concerned about the pressure guage, its only an indication. My concern is that the Silvia can beat the pants off it.
