One down and one to go. You were spot on Ben that the issues are independent. I suppose I should have guessed that but...
I cleaned out the steam tip in a container with a bit of Cafiza and made sure any gunk was gone. Steaming milk now is amazing. That seemed to be it. I had always wiped down the steam wand after each use but didn't take of the tip to clean that separately. It looks like that needs to be part of the regular (or semi-regular) cleaning routine. In addition to coffee, I sometimes make Chai Latte tea and use the steam wand to get the tea concentrate up to temperature. I use concentrates which probably have sugar in them to help gunk things up. Now that I know it won't be a problem anymore. With the tip clogged like it used to be, there was a very long hissssssssssss after turning off the steam wand. Now that its clean, it's more like a hisss. Now I'll turn attention to the brew pressure issue which is another day. Thanks again and take care. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
