Adjusting Pressure

[monts]

Is there a way to adjust or increase the pump pressure?

Hello monts,

which type of machine?

Normaly the pump of all saeco machines is not adjustable.

My machine is the Royal Coffee Bar

What is the problem with your machine?

 

[monts]

Sometimes the coffee comes out rather slow, especially doing many short shots. Once every one or two weeks it will say ventilate.

Did you clean the cream-valve in the brewing unit?

Apparently my upper screen gets clogged up. As soon as I disassemble and clean the screen everything is fine. I do not remember cleaning the screen as often so I thought it may be pressure related.

I used to be able to go months without cleaning the screen. I started using a oilier bean so that could be the culprit.

Any ideas?

I have cleaned cream valve in the past. It always looks clean. This time I just cleaned the upper screen and now the espresso flows nicely again.

It is always the upper screen that has given me this problem.

Maybe the grinder is adusted to fine.

Also a possibility although it is coming out approximately the consistency of sugar sized granules.

Try to adjust the grinder. The new setting is available after 2-3 coffee.
