Why would you drain after use ? What happened was that as pressure built up, with the handle up, the pathway is open. So hot water streams into the head and out into the PF and then out the two spouts....
Figured that was what happened 😉 I was only filling 2/3's before use, warming group, making two shots and steaming milk. After that was running most of the water through to clean out any fines from the piston cylinder/chamber. By this stage the boiler was approx 1/4 full so I would drain the last remnants and lift lever (looks much better when resting up)... I didn't like the idea of reheating the same water again as my lever use was days apart, most likely only on weekends for now anyway.
