Hi there,
I'm the proud new owner of a 2nd hand brewtus iii-v.
There is periodically a gentle hissing sound coming from the top right of
the machine inside.
I am thinking of opening up the machine to have a look at what's causing it
so decided to go to the file room and look at manuals etc.
Probably a leaking vacuum release on the steam boiler. The release has an
o-ring in it that can either perish from the heat or sometimes get some
calcium on it causing it to leak. If mine starts hissing I usually just
remove the cover and give the pin sticking out at few taps with a wooden
spoon.
I opened it, it's the vacuum breaker.
I gave it a tap and it's much better (thanks for the advice) but it still
leaks very small droplets.
Do you think this is normal or should I get the wrench to it and replace
the o-ring?
Gambaman.

pre-infusion. Everything's going fine regarding crema and shots are the right
volume. Should I be
