Subject: Saeco Classico Losing Steam Power?


My Classico just started to lose steam power in the last 2 weeks. When
steaming the milk for the first latte it's not to bad for steam power
and lenghth of time to steam. But on the second latte the steam
process takes close to seven minutes to bring the milk to 155 deg.

The milk swirls around doing the first cup, but not as well as it did
two weeks ago. On the second cup the milk barely moves and the sound
barely makes a hiss. The hiss and steam power does in crease slighlty
during the process but not very much.

Any body have an idea?

Thanks

assuming you have added water for the second steaming session, I
suspect scale buildup OR a dfective thermostat.
