Recommended Elektra a3 boiler pressure setting

Postby UFGators on Fri Jul 01, 2011 8:44 pm

I have to admit I took the cover off of my electkra t1 and adjusted the pump pressure but I could not find the pressurestat to adjust the boiler pressure. Where is it located? What pressure does everyone recommend? Mine teeters between 1.2-1.25 bar. is this preferable or should I lower the pressure? Thanks in advance.

As noted in the Buyer's Guide to the Elektra A3, I recommend a steam boiler pressure around 1.0 bar. The A3 has a Sirai pressurestat; see How to adjust an espresso machine pressurestat for photo/instructions.
