2°C below maximum

Wow guys I am usually steaming up to 190-200ml of milk, my boiler is set to 120C and if that sometimes gives too much power? Are you using steam with smaller holes or? I am using the one with bigger holes, 120C, 200ml milk in 350ml pitcher, results are ok...why do you fill the need to raise the pressure that much?

Short answer - why not? If I can get the milk textured in the shorter steam time, why not use the power available?

Finally got around to capturing a video of the intermittent vibration on my Bianca. I purposely ran a shot slow to be sure there would be back pressure. I watched a video from lelit the other day showing how to replace the LCC and they had the case off the machine. There are a couple of brass tubes and a brass coil that run down the back of the machine. I am thinking maybe one of these is intermittently making contact with the case. I will have to run the machine with the top (and maybe the back) off to be sure though. While the cups and trays are on in this video, I have run the machine with everything taken off and still get the vibration. Sometimes I can make it stop by squeezing the sides of the body just slightly which makes me think it is something in the back.

I have a different machine that exhibited excess vibration and I got tired of it and I needed to outboard the pump to eliminate the rattling. These machines have stainless steel parts that rattle when the pump is on.

In this case it is only intermittent and best I can tell from this thread - only affecting my machine. It is virtually silent when not getting the intermittent vibration. That leads me to think it is something that can corrected once located.

Just a thought but have you tried running it with the drip tray removed to see if you still get the vibration?

Thank you. Yes, I did. It definitely something inside the case.

Sounds like a pipe rattling against the case. Usually, the culprit is a flexible, metal sheathed one. Hope you find it easily.

Hey folks! just got my bianca.. loving it

quick question - do other people's machines routinely drip from the drain spout? every 5 mins or so, its a little gurgle and a few drops come out.
