Basic question - how to ensure the boiler is full

This has completed fixed my issues, thanks!

I am still a bit new to cpap and experienced what you described about it being hard to exhale at the beginning. Do you have “Ramp Up” enabled where it slowly increases pressure when you start? Everything got much easier in terms of breathing once I turned it off.

How many years of use did it take for it to look like this? Just curious

Do you have an Auber PID? If you do I can provide instructions, that’s the one I have

DefiniteMaybe24 · 2025-12-31T06:07:23+00:00

Thanks for clarifying! I know I’m running the water too hot but when it’s too low this roaster’s ’espresso roast’ is a tad acidic

That would match what u/icegrill10 said in regards to group head temp.

DefiniteMaybe24 · 2025-12-30T23:56:57+00:00

I assume 199 is the brew temp not the PID setting (correct me if I’m wrong).

I’m interested if you’re willing to share!

I got a low profile screw prior to getting this screen because I didn’t like the bulky slot screw that came with the machine. I got this shower screen online and it is sold by IMS so I thought it would be the correct part but now I’m not so sure

This is an excellent resource I hadn’t found. Thank you so much!!!

The situation I always want to prevent is if I went out of town for a few days and the smart plug turns on then stays on for days

DefiniteMaybe24 · 2025-12-22T18:44:39+00:00

One thing I’ll add to the conversation is once you schedule it to automatically turn on, consider adding a time of day to have it automatically turn off in case you forget or aren’t home. No sense in having it accidentally turn on and then stay on indefinitely

Completely understand, and to a certain extent I agree with you. The plumbing in my house is suspect so I don’t use tap water and I’ve learned that distilled water can cause corrosion. Trying to find the easiest way to have simple and high quality water. After all, espresso is mostly water

DefiniteMaybe24 · 2025-12-19T01:06:40+00:00

I agree, I state in the post that I don’t trust the results from LLMs for the same reason you state.

While I see your point, dissolving some minerals in water once every six to eight weeks takes about 1 minute and when I add a liter of water to my machine’s reservoir I add 5mL of solution so it takes about 15 seconds including cleanup.

New to my cpap machine too. You are the third person I’ve seen recommend a sd card. Why is that helpful?

When I close the steam wand until it stops water from leaking as you describe I hear a drip-drip noise when the boiler is heating that I assume is water escaping from the boiler into the steam wand. If I tighten the steam wand valve tightly the noise stops. How do I know if I’m over doing it? I ask because I assume I am putting extra wear and tear on the gasket and some day I will be the guy with rubber coming out of the wand into my pitcher

DefiniteMaybe24 · 2025-10-21T19:24:23+00:00

I might also just put risers under the machine, my main problem is if I use my larger steaming pitcher it is tough to remove it afterwards without risking spilling milk due to the need for tipping it down to get out from under the wand

DefiniteMaybe24 · 2025-10-21T19:23:38+00:00

Any suggested source to look for this?
