Just new to the forums and reading a lot.
Looking for for my first prosumer machine.
Im down to two choices. One is HX and one is double boiler.
Im not sure which way to go and would love and advice from the knowledgable people here. Hoping this question can sort of be answered but here goes. Hx or DB ?
Some points so far...
HX
pressure stat for temp control
has a e61 group head
pre infusion
allow 30 min warm up but can use a timer at the power point for morning start up.
DB
has a PID for boiler temp
shot timer too which is nice
quick start up time without using and addition timer.
Is is one going to perform better ? I'm really unsure which will serve me better. I drink milk based drinks. Weekdays on 1 or 2 a day. Maybe 3 on week end days.
My my debate in my head is pressure stat vs PID. Do I need e61 and how much can it effect the shot. Will the timer be OK to use and not effect anything. I do like the added feature of the shot timer on the DB machine.
Is there any other considerations in a machine I should consider as major?
Any any help would be really appreciated as I'd really like to pull the trigger on a new toy ASAP!
