Hi! I've recently upgraded from a Bambino plus to the GCP E24, and have been able to get good espresso from it, but I haven't been able to steam milk well with it.

I'm trying to steam about 8 ounces of milk, and I'm waiting about 30 seconds for the red light to turn on before i start steaming, it starts out well but seems to lose most of it's pressure and heat about halfway through steaming, causing me to be unable to get a good vortex going or heat the milk enough.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a problem with the machine? How can i improve it?

Also, I will probably get a PID controller anyway, would it help with the steaming too?
