I have a k type thermocouple with a bead.
Despite hours of searching, I cannot find a definitive answer about exactly how to attach it to my boiler (in my case, a Rancilio Silvia).
There is about 10mm of bare wires at the end of the probe.
Do I need to prise these apart?
Should the bead be placed directly under one of the brew thermostat screws?
Should I instead attach the thermocouple to a ring crimp connector, then place the ring under the thermostat screw?
Any advice appreciated.
