Great fun! Maybe use your fire axe to cut some biscotti. ;-)

I am due for descaling, but not overdue. tx, bmc On Oct 31, 2009, at 9:40 AM, Barry Luterman wrote: Sounds like the P-stat is going . Keep your eye on it. When was the last time you changed it?Could also be some hard water deposit clogging a valve. When was the last time you descaled?

My steam pressure is normally at 1.45 bar. I glanced down as I was about to purge the steam wand, and pressure was at 2 bar or a little above. I purged, and it stayed at 1.7 with the boiler light "on". After steaming milk, the pressure had dropped down to 1.2 or so (as normal), and recovered/shut off at 1.45. Since then all is normal. Is something about to let go? Do I need to worry about imminent steam burns, ha ha?
