☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.
I use a modified rancilio silvia. It has a PID with the boiler set at 216°F. I also have it moded for pre-infusion. I do a 10 second pre-infusion and a shot time of ~27 seconds. 20 grams in 40 grams out. There is an awesome local roaster, light house roasters, they have a variety of beans to choose from. I'm still learning and chasing that perfect shot.
I'm just more curious than anything, but why do you have the boiler set for 4 degrees above boiling?
It seems to produce a better tasting shot. That also seemed to be a temp that outputs water at around 195 at the grouphead. I am not sure if it is normal to set the boiler temp in that range. I would love to hear what is normal if my temp isn't. I have also thought that my PID might not be perfectly calibrated.
