My Ascaso Dream UP has water coming from the steam wand when I try to steam

12th Apr 2016

When you switched from brewing to steaming, did you flip the steam switch, then open the steam valve to purge it, then close it again. After closing it again, you would watch the temperature gauge until it went up from brew temperature (200 degree fahrenheit) to steam temperature (about 260 degrees fahrenheit). When the right temperature is reached, you open the steam valve and steam the milk. Turn off the steam switch and close the valve.

If you don't do this and try to steam immediately after brewing, water will come out of the steam wand as the temperature hasn't increased enough to create steam.
