I have a rancilio epoca S1 and the water from the portafilter comes out to a temperature around 65-70 C that I believe to be too low (shouldn't be ideal temp be around 88 C?). I have also tried to increase the pressure in the boiler to around 1,4 bar from 1,2 bar but the temperature never reach 88 C. What can be the problem? Can you please also indicate me what is the optimal boiler pressure to be set? Thanks Andrea
You want between 94 and 96C for water temp and you want 13.8 kg tamp pressure you want extraction to commence at most 9sec into button press an to pour like room tmp honey would. Drip drip start is okay at times but should start to flow by about 10 additional secs in you want it to extract with about 9.5bar pressure and you want to stop full shot extraction by the third colour change no longer than 4 sec of blonding or tigerstriping what eva u wanna call it.
sounds like your element needs to be changed out/is shagged or you have a leak in a weld any leeks water or steam take off housing an inspect

It could also be that the solenoid is of the wrong specifications, and hence not getting up to pressure.. Have them check both the temp and pressure cutouts again..

It is the sound of the pressure stat turning on and off, that is normal.

HI
Without being in front of it, there are a couple of things to check.
1. There is a reset button on top of the boiler. It is a black top with a red button in the center between 2 wires.
2. The water tank needs to be emptied and then refilled.That is the first things I would check.

It should take about a 1/2 hour to warm up, are any lights flashing? Is the light on the second switch green? If not you might want to take off the left panel and find the thermal reset. Its mounted to the top side and has a little red button facing you. Press that to reset the unit.
Goodluck!
