My Brewtus II does the same, and if I am careful to not open the steam valve until just before the red light goes out as the needle goes up-scale, I can keep the pressure a little higher when I am steaming. But the gauge is in green between 0.8 and 1.0 suggesting that is what is considered normal.

Maybe I am not reading the pressure correctly. With the valve closed and the system up to full pressure my gauge reades around 1.4-1.5. If I open the valve and let the steam blow out freely the pressure drops to 1.1 – 1.2.

Humm... weird, approx. what year did you get the machine? Where did you get it from? I spoke to my vendor and he was saying that they come calibrated at around .8 bars...

I do not believe the Biii is the strongest steamer out there, but I get excellent microfoam time after time with the stock one-hole tip.

Hi all, just got a new III-v, nice machine, not as sexy as other italian machine like Rocket ECM, but overall satisfied so far (4 weeks in). Slight questioning with regards to the stock steam boiler pressure (with 1 hole steam tip). It seems to be around 0.6-0.8 bars. I would really like to hear opinion/experiences on whether or not that factory setting is sufficient to produce perfect microfoam or if you have increased that pressure via the possible adjustment.
