Air pressure problem
posted by breijer on Sep 02, 2007
when I turn on my Giotto all pressure drops immediately when I use the steam option (coffee works fine) for the first time. After the pressure builds up again, all seems to be working OK. This happens each time when using the machine. So why is this happening and how can this be resolved? It never happend before.

ApprenticeHi,
i have had this same problem and i can tell you for sure that the problem is the anti-vac valve. its a cheap part so you can replace it yourself but this typical with these machines, it prefers the steam valve to be opened when the machine is first turned on to avoid any annoying, sudden drop in pressure when first used.

Hi,
I am having a similar problem. Doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes. My research has led me to believe it might be the vacuum breaker valve. I am going to order a new one here:

I'll replace mine & post if it fixes it.
Good Luck
