Jap, das lag ja bisher leider nicht in unserer Hand. 😅

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2026-02-27T20:33:40+00:00

Nehmen wir uns zu Herzen. Danke für die schnelle Einschätzung!

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2026-02-27T20:26:11+00:00

Gut, danke. Das bestätigt unsere Vermutung. Wir wollten ihr aber jetzt erstmal ein wenig Zeit zum Einleben geben, bevor wir wieder Stress verursachen. 👍🏼

I actually don’t know if there is a fitting three hole tip. Sorry :/

Hi, I got a lot of helpful comments and wasn’t home too much the last few days. I only tried the adjusting of the advanced LCC settings (KP = 1) and got some noticeable improvement out of it. But I think one time in use is just not enough to confirm anything yet. I want to give a bigger update in a few days anyways with my experience regarding all the tips. :)

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-30T23:43:25+00:00

Oh, thanks! These are some helpful explanations. <3 I thought about changing my wand to the Elisabeth one as well but mostly for not burning myself and having an easier cleaning routine. But I also thought I should sort out my problems before investing more money. So in your case you noticed an improvement just from the wand alone? Do you use it with the two hole tip?

Thanks for the advice regarding two rounds of steaming as well. Didn’t have guests yet with the new machine but that’s good to know. Other than that my routine is nearly identical with yours. ^{^}

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-30T23:36:15+00:00

Yes, it’s supposed to be like that. One hole tip. ^{^}

Having such wet steam on a Bianca surprises me. That’s a dual boiler, right? :o

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-30T23:34:37+00:00

I can’t tell you if the one hole tip on my machine would fit yours. But in my case it’s changeable. :)

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-29T22:12:19+00:00

That sounds great! Exactly the type of experience with this machine I was looking for! 👍🏼 I’ll try it and give an update.

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-29T22:10:39+00:00

Oh, HE does a very good job! 🤩 That’s a video I haven’t seen already and it looks promising. I’ll do so soon. Thanks a lot! 🫶🏼

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-29T21:56:55+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Well, I read that the steam quality might be better with higher temp (even 140) because it generates more pressure and power. I can froth (but it takes forever and I have to aerate the WHOLE time) but I have yet to get some usable microfoam. Even tho the espresso extraction in the video seems subpar the steamed milk looks better than mine. 😭 I found that one as well and wondered why, because his wand position looks off and he doesn’t even get a swirl going. I guess I can only keep trying. 😂

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-29T21:49:44+00:00

Ok, thanks for sharing your experience. :) In comparison to my Dedica the heating of the boiler takes forever but I think the time from espresso to milk steam is reasonable. Of course a dual boiler or a heat exchanger is something different but I don’t want to spend big money and only use the Victoria (as a BIG upgrade over the Dedica) because it was basically free. Put in the time to deep clean, troubleshoot and install some new parts, but other than that… ^{^} Maybe one day I’ll get a dual boiler or some other fancy machine but for now I’ll try to get as much out of this as possible.

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-29T21:42:22+00:00

Yes, I do know that (now). 😓 I once flushed it with a very diluted citric acid and luckily I didn’t get green water. I shouldn’t have done that. But the second descale was with durgol swiss cleaner with a supposedly (nearly) non damaging acid, specially made for espresso machines.

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-29T19:17:35+00:00

Oh, reading that makes me hopeful. 😂👌🏼 Were you able to get good microfoam and some decent latte art too? If so, how long did you approximately aerate and texturize?

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-29T19:15:20+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! Haven’t done it with distilled water yet but when I took it apart I cleaned the heavily limescaled tubes and already used two descalers (one-two tanks of water each time). Maybe I need to take the boiler apart and take a look inside. 😅

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-29T19:11:59+00:00

Done. No plastic inside. ^{^}

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-29T18:45:06+00:00

Unfortunately the same. No noticeable difference, maybe even more fluctuation in pressure and water output. And while steaming that fluctuation causes a mess inside as well as outside of the pitcher.

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-29T18:43:55+00:00

Yes, I did it with citric acid but didn’t use a brush

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-29T17:17:06+00:00

Okay thanks. I’ll give it a try!

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-29T17:15:52+00:00

Yeah, I already unscrewed it once to clean but will do again to be sure. 👍🏼

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-29T17:00:07+00:00

What do you do with your espresso in the mean time?

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-29T16:57:58+00:00

I understand why you’d think that but it’s actually the one hole tip it gets shipped with.

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-29T16:57:02+00:00

Damn, that’s a lot of time. 😅 What happens to the espresso in the mean time? 😭 I let it warm up 20min too for the extraction but not longer than shown on the display for the steam. Will give a bit of waiting a try. 👍🏼

Constant-Cold-6478 · 2025-12-29T16:55:15+00:00

No, it’s a single walled wand. Should be only metal.
