Hi all,
Just a quick question on steam pressure with the new V3. I've noticed on one video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AxPxuDn8d0 , not sure if they are using an older Giotto) that the steam pressure should not drop below 1 BAR.
However, on my machine, steam pressure starts at 1.1BAR (PID at stock 121 degrees C) and then drops to 0.7 BAR at the conclusion of steaming milk in a small 350ml motta milk pitcher. Steaming in a larger 600ml pitcher, the pressure starts at 1.1BAR and drops to around 0.5BAR near the end of the steaming process. I let the machine warm up for 45minutes, pull the shot and then steam milk. Is this drop in pressure normal?
Whilst I can get microfoam, it is never silky smooth. I presume this is because the machine runs out of grunt during the steaming process?
Your thoughts appreciated!
