I am considering a purchase of one of the various versions of the Auber PID with the
pre-infusion option. I have read 1+ years of posts on the PID and can't find any mention of the
importance of automatically timing the pull. I have been using Silvia for 2 years without
a PID (I temp surf). I start a timer when I hit the brew button and time the pull based
on the appearance of the shot. It usually lasts between 21 and 26 seconds.
I like the idea of using the pre-infusion option to time the duration of the pull.
Will I be happy with a more consistent duration? Or do most of you still stop the pull
when it "looks right"?
Also, I am not excited about preinfusing my puck (I would set that time delay to 0). Should I be?
Thanks
