ECM Casa V | Tech Tips

These tips include why your machine's water pressure would suddenly drop, how to properly read your displays, some quick tricks for pulling the best shots without a PID, Diagnosing common water leaking problems, and an explanation as to why you should never leave your machine in steam mode unless you are actively steaming.

I’m really impressed by the ECM casa v, especially the commercial steam wand, it’s the strongest I’ve ever used on a single dual boiler!

Thank you for the tech tips. I brought the CASA V a few months ago and I thought I had read the manual thoroughly but clearly not as I didn’t refill the boiler after steaming. I have since watched your video and re read the manual. Do you think my machine will be okay?
I was a bit nervous of the Casa V machine initially as I had a Breville which served me well but it was basic and after 8 years it croaked.
Ps Clive Coffee tutorials were recommended by Espresso Rd in New Zealand where I purchased the machine, and I have to say your tutorials are great.

This reminds me of that Park's and Rec episode where they have to fill 4 hours of time on the local community channel to raise money for diabetes.

When you are refilling your boiler after steaming, how long do you have the water going through the steam arm and group head? Is there a set amount of time before you know it's filled back up? Thanks, beautiful machine, can't wait to "perfect" my espresso with it!

Is it 100% necessary to refill the boiler when I make one cappuccino in the morning each day?

[freevin]

Does it matter, for the good of the machine, if I pull the shot first or steam the milk first?

The lights on my Casa V have never pulsed, they are either on or off.

Honestly, i do prefer 5 sec cool flush with this machine.

Tech tips? Common sense more like it. But thanks for trying
