Re: E61 idle temp?
Hmm ?
I suspect yours is programmed with an offset reading since boiler temp is usually several degrees above brew (Scace ) temps . Especially if there is no "offset table" in the manual.
Offset changes should be operator adjustable since there is some evidence that this can /will change depending on individual m/c environments. Making changes to an offset on most PIDs is no more complex than changing the set point in the menu system..but i dont know your specific model.
You may like to read up on the debate about offset calibration pros & cons.
1st line equipment has a good article to start off.
And that is the bottom line..Taste.
.... but that would worry me if such a small temp change made a change in taste from good to "awful" . :-/

)that that happens mainly (only?) with Hx machines and not with a dual boiler. It makes sense now that I think about it but at the time I must have been having a blonde moment. I would also suspect that the groups temperature varies as only the top chamber is heated by the water from the boiler and the rest of the group has to be heated by conduction from that point.
