Actually the shot timer is a built in feature of the PID controller. So at idle it alternates between displaying brew and steam temperature like most PID controllers. But as soon as the brew lever is lifted to start the shot, the display on the PID controller shows the shot time.

Ah...

I probably mistook the Shot Timer for the PID Controller.

Thanks Charlie,

It's a Gicar PID Mal. It controls both boilers - pretty standard stuff there. The interesting feature is the shot timer which is one of those features you can live without until you've used a machine that has one ... I guess extra information isn't a bad thing.

That PID Controller looks interesting Charlie...

Do you have any specific info on it at all?

Yes a few have already landed. The brew boiler isn't fed through a HX and I'm guessing that that was an explicit decision given the Scace results we've seen,

sounds good, I see it's on your site already, I assume available now then. (I don't have the cash for a new machine anyway)

Is the brew boiler fed through a hx ?
