    Tried again today. This time I pulled around 70ml of water from the hot water tap prior to steaming. This made boiler kick in again. As soon as steam pressure hit 1.5 bar I did a quick blast on the steam wand and tried again. Result was marginally improved but ultimately the same. I also set...

    Thanks. I'm going to try a few different things tomorrow and maybe BB will have an answer. The stupid thing is I hardly drink anything other than espresso. The latte's are for my wife. I convinced her I needed to upgrade as I was fed up with waiting for steam on the Silvia for her lattes ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Tbh I never timed it but it was comparatively quick. Usually I'm fighting to texture the milk before the heat rapidly approaches 65c. The power of the steam initially is fine but noticeably weaker. I have no issue with this. In all honesty a little more time to texture would be good. It's the...

    Yes got mine from BB. Emailed them yesterday but obviously being NY not expecting an immediate response. Mine hasn't maintained temp once apart from a test I did after a single shot this morning with some water but I'm now doubting I waited long enough. Interestingly mine is also on a smart...

    It's 300ml. Perhaps this is too much? I'm coming from the Silvia which would heat that in 20 seconds. Because of the low pressure and therefore temp I only achieved 35c by the end of the video. Was aiming for 60c.

    Thanks will try that. I don't usually take that long just no pressure.

    Yes normally my Silvia would have been done well before then but the milk was only up to 35c when it ran out of steam and video ended. I usually go up to 60c.

    Tried again this afternoon. This time I pulled 2 shots. Cleaned PF. Didn't flush. This is the result. Basically still an issue. Boiler clearly kicks in half way through steaming. On this occasion my daughter who was filming got bored and stopped but pressure continued to drop to the point I...

    A combination of OCD and a 10 year habit ๐Ÿ˜ I'm happy to not do it if it fixes the issue though.

    I pulled a single shot this morning and then run some steam into a jug of water. For the first time it maintained steam pressure. I didn't flush the e61 as I normally do before steaming milk. Going to try this again a bit later but pull 2 shots first. If this works it would suggest flushing...

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I always pull 2 shots. I then knock out the second puck and clean the PF. Steam is always hovering on 1.5 bars before I start steaming but drops off within seconds. I'm yet to experience it not doing this and I've tried 10+ times. Initial pressure is good...

    Agreed. Going to give it go. Fingers crossed it's that simple.

    I'm going to try just a single latte tomorrow to see if I get the issue. If I don't then need to play around with my work flow to see if I can find a solution. I do flush the e61 after the second shot to clear the screen but the steam pressure remains at 1.5 bar after doing that.

    Thanks. I'll have a read.

    I'm at temp setting 1. I watched DaveC's video on YouTube and he pulls 2 shots back to back then foams milk without a pressure drop in brew priority mode. I'll give that a go but a bit annoying if you want to make 2 large lattes. Means you have to foam milk twice. Unless you keep swirling it :)

    I need to try that but it's done this every time I've used it. Not once has it been able to maintain pressure. It literally runs out of steam. I've made my wife a Latte everyday since Xmas. I switch it on, wait half an hour (I don't let it go into eco mode). I pull a couple of shots. Steam...

    Will have a search thanks

    Once I finish steaming it gradually rises back to 1.5 bar

    Hi all, I got a Mara x for Christmas and I'm really happy with it. I generally just drink espresso and it performs really well for this. I sometimes however make lattes for my wife. My Mara x is an upgrade from my 10 year old Silvia but I'm really underwhelmed by the steam function. Not sure...

    Does anyone know where I can purchase a smaller hopper for the K3? Mine is quite old and has the original full size one. I want to put a knock box underneath it now but need to shave a few cm off total height. It doesn't have to be made by Compak. Anything compatible will do providing it's a...
