On my recommendation, my son has just bought a second-hand Silvia V3/Rocky combo.
He has spent hours on the net learning how to use the Silvia, in particular temp surfing. He reckons that there are numerous references to turning the steam switch on whilst pulling your shots. The idea being (I think) that this will reduce the amount of time required to get up to steam temp after finishing the pull.
Now, on the face of it, that seems like a good idea, but will it increase the water temp too quickly, affecting the quality of the shot?
My understanding is that the water temp drops significantly during a shot, so this technique may reduce the size of the drop, which seems like a good thing.
Comments please!!!
