Re: Diadema Perfetta - The assessment
Ive seen the Perfetta at Denniss - certainly is a beautiful piece of gear.
Your process sounds great, Hal, particularly with your attention to re-priming. One thing that might result in your first shot being superior to others that follow quickly after is that, after steaming, the temperature of the water in the boiler and the whole system has heated to above suitable brewing temp. Even with a large flush before brewing again, it may take 5-10 mins (IIRC) to come back down to brewing temp (one of the problems with single boiler machines). (There was a thread some time back about this, good discussions between Jim from PID Kits and Greg Pullman - cant find it at present.) Why dont you try brewing all your shots first, then steaming your milk.
