Hi Guys!
I have finally installed my pid kit from Auber in my Silvia. Easy to install and seems to be much, much more consistent shots. I have made a couple of short videos showing it in action and also a closeup of a double shot. I would LOVE some feedback regarding temp on the Silvia. I always seem to have a fair bit of headroom in the boiler (I leave the Miss Silvia on quite a lot) and therefore have to fill the boiler before pulling any shots. This in turn drops the temp quite a lot as new water is introduced. I guess there is no way around this bar waiting for it to come back to temp (set at 105c).
I do get quite a bit of leakage out of the steam wand if I am not careful to keep an eye on the steam knob tightness - could I need to replace a washer? This could explain the ever decreasing water level in the boiler.
I am pretty worried about it as I destroyed a boiler about a year ago before I realised you have to refill the boiler after steaming...
Anyway, the video of a full milk coffee prep is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De_25bTAM5k
and
A 60ml, 30 sec double (with the pid installed) is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biFSBeeeg9k
Thanks in advance!
