Default the inevitable button/guage question
Ok, we all know the Brasilia has lots of chrome, switches and guages, and I have most figured out except one.

On the front is a power switch and a resistance switch.

I obviously figured out the power part, but automatically turn on the resistance switch as well.

What the heck is this for????

Resistance would be my guess.

I'm a wise ass by nature, so it just feels right to have my question answered in this fashion.

After some deliberation, I think it is just a poor Italian to English translation, like the rest of the useless manual.

I am fairly certain the power switch heats the boiler and the resistance switch builds the necessary bars of pressure.

Hopefully Wholelattelove will be a tad more serious with my inquisitive email as they normally are.

I was reading the manual for you and that switch is for the boiler only.

3 - ON/OFF SWITCH
5 - BOILER HEATING ELEMENT ON/OFF SWITCH

There must be a point to having the 2 switches that makes perfect sense in Italy.

You could add a interruptore resistenza switch for about $600. WTH? You only go around once.

I'd tend to agree, but not based on your coffee methods.

I resent that. I have not merely been a fool - I still am one, and proudly.
