So, as I mentioned in a previous post, I've been thinking of increasing my steam pressure from .8 to 1.2 bar. After a long talk with my vendor, I was curious to see how many of you have done this, versus how many steam with the factory preset of .8 bar. I know that WLL sets their Brewtus's to 1.2 before they ship, but it seems that many vendors in Canada and Australia ship the machines "as is" at .8. My vendor explained to me that raising the pressure is largely unnecessary, because all it does is speed up the process. He also maintains that all raising the steam pressure does is shorten the life of the heating element and pressure stat. Furthermore, he states that in Europe, people tend to steam milk using much lower pressure than in North America. I was wondering how you all feel about this issue, and ask how many of you still steam at .8 (at least those of you who did not buy through WLL). I'd be curious to see the results. My own experience steaming at .8 is that I can get decent results....it just seems a little more difficult and variable.
