One other thing I¹d add is to flush the steam boiler every couple of weeks
to a month. I run hot water out of the right wand until it stops coming
out, let the boiler refill/reheat, drain again, reheat, drain a third time.
It¹s amazing how funky that first and second pitcher of water comes out!

Hi Mark,
Yes, you're correct--temp is too low to push water out. As I dump the water
out the wand, the pump is already filling the boiler again with room temp
water, so the boiler is never anywhere close to empty.
Interesting that your steam boiler stays nice and fresh. When I say

A subject of debate. I set my backflush pressure at 9, and my shots pull at

Hi Ray,
That valve is one-way. If a roaster is going to the trouble to use sealed
bags with that valve, they usually are also flushing with nitrogen when

Search the archives for "tip experiment" and you'll find my testing and
results on many tips. My conclusion (which WLL warned me before I purchased
the two-hole tip) was that the two hole tip is not very good for anything,
especially not for microfoam. It does heat a drink really fast, t
much with the Brewtus. I've had the two hole tip the whole
time. It makes nice airy thick foam for capps, but I haven't had more than
an occasional lucky pour of latte art since I got this machine. What do
folks recommend, the single hole I guess?
