I've had my VII for a couple of weeks, and it has more than met my expectations for steaming milk. I typically make two drinks at a time, so I was steaming 16-20oz of milk with no trouble. However, I noticed yesterday that there was a lot more "screeching" during the steaming. Some is typical, but this was more than normal. This morning I noticed the same AND I watched the boiler pressure...it had dropped to almost nothing. And (horror!) it was making that awful spitting noise in my milk (a noise I recognized from lesser machines with wee little boilers) indicating it was about out of steam. When I finished, the boiler had already kicked on and the pressure slowly returned to normal. (I had to run so I didn't try steaming again.)
I've read in boiler related posts here that a simple "reboot" (unplug and replug the machine) could solve the problem.
Does mine sound like a similar problem--the boiler is not refilling? Or is there another issue here? Ideas anyone?
