{image} Any reason why my pressure gauge shows positive pressure when not brewing rather that sitting on the little stop bar beside the "0"? It worked fine before but just noticed over the last week that it doesn't reset to zero. Do you think this would affect actual readings during brew?

Why can I find longer feet like these? Perhaps not quite this long, but similar. Thanks

Don, you are the man! I am plumbed in so I never even look at the water reservoir that is tucked away in the basement. I ended up using the entire tube from the reservoir rather than cutting it and I was able to slip the end on to the nipple of the safety valve using some food

Update on steam boiler safety valve replacement. So I had to take off a few things to get at it but the steam safety valve has been replaced. However, when I pulled gently on the silicone tube to detach it it just broke off instead at the nipple. No problem, just a shorter tube right? It

Yes, Safety Valve assembly (of which PN 9700050 is a part). Water begins to be expelled by the safety valve within seconds of the anti-vacuum valve closing.

Thanks for the detailed reply Don, very useful. With the top off of the machine it is clear that the excess water and steam is not coming from the anti-vacuum valve but from the safety valve on the steam boiler. Any thoughts on that one?

As a test I have turned down the steam boiler temperature to as low as 1 bar and I still have steam and water coming out, just less than at higher temperatures.

I have a couple of issues that have cropped up that I am looking for some advice on solving. First starting a few weeks ago the hot water want would continue to drip after being used. Not always but some of the time. Now in addition to that the bottom of the group (not sure what to

About three years ago I had tried basically every Toronto roaster looking for an excellent espresso that also made good drip coffee (which my wife likes in the morning). I didn't find one, although I did enjoy lots of good espresso along the way. One day my wife mentioned that there was a new cafe a...
