Sorry to hop in because I am contending with a related pressure issue: if the OPV, pump and deareator have all been replaced, but the machine still doesn’t get up to brew pressure past 8 bar, what could be the cause? Has even a coffee tech stumped, would appreciate any insights from the Brewtus Gurus! It’s Brewtus III from 2009
