  • I’ve got a very similar experience to you. Bought a barista express at half the price about 4 to 5 years ago when it was on clearance (display model) at half the price. Impulse buy but honestly one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Years later I still can’t get a consistent froth on my milk.

    I’ve noticed that the steam wand produces a different pressure of steam every time. Sometimes it’s like a jet and sometimes it’s just a whistle. Spoke to a technician that came to repair my pressure gauge and he told me it probably wasn’t cleaned out properly but I clean it and flush it every time. Even drown the thing in milk detergent after every use.

    Still, have loads of fun and coffee is great by my standards
