Hi everyone new HB member here long time specialty coffee lover :D

Okay so my problem is the grouphead of my pro 700 pushes out steam rather than water it's only been six months since i purchased it.

I called the store since it's still on warranty but I was just wondering what could be the problem? Could be because I leave it on sometimes for over 16 hours a day or what?

Wrong section. This should go into the Espresso Machine forum.

your machine is clearly running too hot then. I would turn down the brew boiler, but if you need a scace to measure the temp at the group head so you can get it right.
