I got my Breville Dual Boiler back in late fall of 2011. I was getting ready for a promotion at work that I was going to celebrate with a saturated brew group machine, probably a GS/3 because of their value in comparison to the single group Cyncra (that I really wanted) and...
Every evening I refill the water reservoir. Lately, water already loaded into the machine has started to flow back into the reservoir resulting in overflow and water on the table. What is the reason for that? Is there some valve I need to fix?

Crazy-fine grind / low pressure / low flow rate / 3-4 minute 'pull' time, followed by psychotherapy to understand why one would even want to do this.

Now I just need to add skills and might be getting somewhere. Newest editions are the E61 thermometer...
My La Marzocco GS3 suddenly started to build up steam pressure all the way to the end of the scale which is 3 bar. If I release the pressure it stays around 1,5 - 1,7 .... for a while at least. When I turn it on in the morning it builds up to way past 2 bar ......
