Good afternoon; I have just purchased the machine and would be interested to know if other owners could share their experiences: 1.Brewing pressure The brewing pressure when making an espresso seems far too high on mine; it reaches just over 12 bar. I also have to grind far too finely to get a reasonable brew ratio (20-30 seconds for espresso). With a blind sieve it is also 12 bar and without (empty draw) 11 bar. 2. steam extraction Despite experience and ECM jugs, the milk gets hot before foam can form. Condensation is expelled beforehand. Milk is fine and from the fridge. I otherwise follow the instructions. Any ideas or tips? Thank you very much.

Since I'm an absolute beginner and have no comparison, I'm afraid I can't contribute much that makes sense. I'm still struggling with the basics: grind, constant tamping,... and I get quite different "shots"... I will probably take the machine to a course. I just had the machine on and checked: 1. the pressure is constant at 9 bar with normal sieve and blind sieve. 2. I had imagined that frothing would be less complicated. I have to "pull" for a very long time to achieve a reasonable volume. But there is quite a lot of steam coming out. I have a cheap jug. In the well-known online videos it always looks much shorter: pull briefly and then roll. That's it. There is a connection between boiler temperature and steam pressure. Yesterday I turned it up to 122°. Give ECM a call. They are very nice. I'd be happy to hear back about what's causing the high pressure.

Good day. I would be interested to know if it is possible to start the machine with a "timer". So when the mechanical toggle switch on/off is set to "on" and then the power cable is plugged in, does the machine then start to heat up? Then I could heat up the machine in the morning while I'm still asleep. For me, this is a knock-out criterion with these heating times. Please only answer if you are 100% sure that my idea works. Thanks and greetings

I think this is the wrong machine if you don't have time. Preparing a coffee or cappuccino takes time. And after enjoying it, the machine also needs to be cleaned. The same goes for the grinder. If little attention is paid to cleaning, it will soon take its toll. After just three weeks. Otherwise, a very great coffee machine. Mine heats up in about 10 minutes. And I need this time to grind the beans, tamp and preheat the cups.
