Leaving it has power consumption issues but that isn't my biggest concern. I used to leave it on overnight so it would be hot and stable to pull shots in the morning. One time, I think the pressure built up too high which triggered the pressure release valve. This caused steam to escape into the unit which in turn melted a plastic water line. Since my machine is plumbed in, that meant water leakage for many hours during the night. The damage was significant, the least of which was the machine. My countertop was ruined as was the cabinet and my cork flooring. I had an extensive insurance claim for all the damage.
Now that the repairs are finally all done, I'm nervous leaving the machine on either overnight or if I'm not around. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
