PLEASE HELP. I have a brewtus III-v (2 years old).
Lately the brew pressure used to be a little erratic, it would fluctuate between 10-7 (which seems to be common), but lately it drops to almost 0 (no pressure) when pulling my second espresso. I then turn the lever down, remove the portafilter, re-engage the lever and there is almost no water that comes out and the pump is very very silent. I can sorta hear the pump trying to fill the boiler again but very slowly. I have to wait a few minutes for the whole thing to be back to normal but if fails in the same fashion shortly thereafter. I opened the unit to try and detect leaks (water or air) and cannot find anything obvious. The only thing that I notice is that there is a small "hiss" sound coming from the top of the rear boiler where there is a little pin that seems to be a release valve of some sort. The machine is unusable and I hope someone can lead me in the right direction ... :-( Gil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
