How to adjust an espresso machine pressurestat (boiler temperature)
If your linea is very old, chances are it will be Sirai. Newer ones come with ceme or mater.

Ceme and Mater pStats on a full blown Linea, that's worth a laugh.

When those particular pressurestats are applied to a high wattage machine, they are used to control an electro-mechanical relay which, in turn, controls the steam boiler heating element.Ceme and Mater pStats on a full blown Linea, that's worth a laugh.

It is, particularly if you post a pic of your machine's internals. HOWEVER, this type of question tells me that you should contact LM-USA and see if they have any owner-maintenance classes coming up. This would be a VERY WORTHWHILE investment. I'm also certain that such classes exist near or in Oakland but have no specific knowledge of same.Hopefully the solution is as simple as the question.

Thanks for the input Erics. I can't figure out how to upload a photo in this comment. Can I email or DM a photo to you?

Sure . . . just email me a pic(s) of your machine's internals and I will post same.
In the meantime, someone may direct you to a link on how to upload pics to this site.
