When trying to steam milk, our machine starts off with good pressure but then tapers off to almost nothing before the milk gets finished steaming. The wand does not appear to be leaking pressure. What would be causing this?

Make sure you start with a full boiler by first running water through the steam wand before switching to steam mode; since the pump doesn’t run when steaming you only have what’s already in the boiler to work with. If this doesn’t help, you may need to descale the machine as mineral buildup on the heating element inside the boiler can reduce it’s ability to heat to the proper temperature as well as recover quickly once temperature drops.
