I'd also want to know what steam tip you're using. Some of the larger ones I've tried can easily overwhelm the boiler, with nothing wrong with the system.
To Barry's point, I forgot to purge my tip one day after steaming milk, and the next day not a single bit of steam could get through. I was impressed that dried milk could be that strong. Had to soak the tip in hot water and clean it out. b On Dec 14, 2009, at 9:13 AM, Barry Luterman wrote: > Or quite possibly a dirty clogged steam wand or tip. > > On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 3:34 AM, Kitt Johnson > <[email protected]> wrote: > Of course it can be fixed, the question is simply "what" to fix.
