... what it tells me is that via the steam + flush method its possible to get the group up to the right temperature in about 10 minutes compared to about 35 with the standard method.
Greg -
I cant support this opinion with data, but I think that the 84C group temperature (after 10 minutes) will be enough below the eventual 90C temperature to have an effect on shot temperature.
My suggestion would be to bump up the setpoint a couple of degrees when you dont have time for a full warmup. This would probably compensate for the slightly cooler group.
As always, though, adjust to taste ;-)

PS - when you need to hear some more well-deserved praise, let me know, and Ill tell the story again about how much I like the tampers I received last month.

Timer.
Almost all of the sad stories I read online about dead Silvias seem to start with: "I forgot to turn the [insert the name of your favorite switch here] off and then the timer came on in the morning. When I looked at the machine, it was [overheated, dead, dry, on fire, etc.]."
