I have a thermocouple permanently installed in the top of each group leading to a digital thermometer....and with these, it is easy to start each shot at the desired temperature.
Using the thermocouples, I have set the pressurestat to turn off at 0.9 bar which brings the idle temperature measured at the thermocouples to a touch less than 95C. It is easy for me to do a cooling flush to prepare the upcoming shot to the desired temperature.....but maybe there is a "better optimum" that I can achieve with the Futurmat.
I would like to set the pressurstat on my 2 group to give me the best compromise between "waiting to heat-up times" and "reduced cooling flush size".
Does anyone have any advice on how to do this?
(Realistically, I have the machine turn on on a timer each morning. I shut it down after it does its morning magic and light the wick again in the afternoon for more magic. I rarely have the machine going all day.)
Thanks,
Paolo.
