  • Single boiler with PID vs Heat exchange.

    Hi, I'm currently using a Sivia with PID but I've got an itch to purchase a heat exchange machine. Should I move to a heat exchange machine or stick with the Silvia? I'm about the water temperature instability of a heat exchange machine.

    Depends if you drink a lot of milk drinks. HX has steam for days compared to the Silvia. E61 group HX machines are pretty stable, a group head thermometer would be all you need as an indicator of when to brew. If you're drinking espressos, stick to the Silvia

      I've got a Silvia v3 (surfing, non PID) and a HX Rocket Giotto (also without a PID). For mine, I don't notice temp instability with the Giotto, plus it is far more forgiving with fine grinds that would choke the Silvia. I also find the Rocket is just a more pleasurable user experience.

        In terms of temp stability, PID makes all the difference on Silvia
