      Hi All, hope all is well. My valve for the flow control is not behaving properly, at 8 o clock it opens up to 7 bars which gives me very very little room to play with. My setting is as follows: valve to be fully shut at 9'o clock and fully opened at 1' o clock (counter clockwise) I am beginning to thing the tension on the spring that it came with is not where it needs to be. If I were to replace the spring where would we buy the springs from ? Any thoughts please ? much appreciated!

      Please run a descaler through the grouphead and allow to sit overnight. The chance of a bad spring is not likely at all. Build up with interfere with the gicleur and needle portion of the valve.

      The grouphead gauge measures resistance in the portafilter. It will not register if there is no backpressure created with a portafilter. You can test with a blind filter. If still an issue with the blind filter, either that portion of the grouphead is blocked or a particle entered the gauge and blocked it.

      Sorry, we will have a flow control next year for the VBM. The VBM requires a special type of flow control than can work with the special mushroom.

      It should work last we checked. The gauge on the Minima can be left on the grouphead, and the one in the kit can be kept as a spare.

      Answered by the admin The Bianca turns less than 180 degrees. This flow control turns more than one full revolution, but it loses control at some point in its cycle.

      Answered by the admin Sorry, parts are not sold separately. Keep the machine free of scale buildup to avoid issues. Unfortunately, we can not guarantee a fitment on the Quickmill Vetrano as we do not sell Quickmill espresso machines at this point in time.

      Most likely, it should fit and work. However, we never tested it and can not guarantee a fitment.
