When the brew boiler is on and at 95C, my pressure is down in the 1-2 range. When I pull a shot, my pressure rises to about 8.5. When I use a backflush disc (no holes), my pressure is set to 9. The pressure from the factory is normally around 9-10 bar.
What you have described sounds normal to me. The brew boiler pressure shouldn't climb until you are sending pressure to the pump, i.e. when you are pulling a shot. tx, bmc "Faith will move mountains, but you'd better bring a shovel....." > From: Kelvin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: <[email protected]> > Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2008 20:47:04 -0700 (PDT) > To: Brewtus <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Brew Pressure not maintaining except during extraction > > > How many bars does your brew pressure show when idle?
