La Marzocco Linea Micra

Circling back to my issue, today the technician visited and fixed the problem in 1 hour. The problem is due to loose connection in the check valve in photos. The technician dismantled the joint and tightened it again after securing it with a teflon band - the white part on top of the copper washer seen on pictures. There was

QuickMill Carola - Replacing steam valve question

I don't know your machine, but from QuickMill's site, it looks like a normal steam valve similar to what would be on normal HX and dual boiler machines, so I'm guessing that it has that sort of hemispherical compression fitting braized to the end of a copper tube, so no, don't put any stuff in the fitting.

Moka pot question about the amount of coffee in the filter basket
