Re: Should i buy a lever or PID my Silvia??
Proven by many.
Why would anyone want to "learn to use" ..or tolerate... a machine with a 30 deg C fluctuation in brew temperature, when it can be corrected easily and cheaply ??
I find it odd that some knowledgeable CSs members describe the essential adjustments to the thermo syphon circuits on high end HX machines in order to correct the group temp and reduce the need for "cooling flushes" ... yet some of those same posters seem happy to ignor a much worse problem on the silvia. ??
Temperature surfing, timing the heater thermostat cycle, cooling flushes, etc etc ...were a necessary skill for Silvia users before the availability of decent temperature control systems ( electronic thermostats and PIDs )
I dislike unnecessary complicated equipment as much as anyone, but if i have something to control temperature , i expect it to function as required,..not +- 10 deg or more.
