Hi There
We all know that Silvia takes about 50min to warm up properly. Im an early riser to go out training and like a shot to get me going. I usually use a timer , but when i forget, I turn on Silvia, and when she reaches PID control point of 109deg, i flick on the steam switch and let the boiler rise till about 150deg, and then turn it off. I figure that the excess boiler temp will be cooled by heat transfer to the group head. When the boiler is back to 109deg, I make the shot - seems to work OK. Are there any issues with this practice as Ive not seen anything on CS re this
cheers
