I've searched the internet but I've seen no definitive answers, so I'll try my luck here. Thank you so much if you have any help.
The pressure doesn't reach 9 bar anymore, even with blind basket. Now, I guess there are two possible reasons: the OPV or the pump. When I pull into the blind basket, I hear no pulsing sound from the OPV which usually happens when it's bypassing, u know , with the pressure needle bouncing a bit. Instead, it stays at 7 bar, and any water is only ejecting into the drip tray AFTER I turn off the shot. What do you think my best bet is? I just ordered a pump but don't know where to order the OPV from. I live in Europe. I should save up for a Bianca, as my BDB has been used a lot daily for over 2 years now, and isn't exactly built to last, it seems.
