I also installed an anti vac valve, otherwise you have to start it with the steam wand open which means you can't put it on a timer.
I think I'd still like a more e61 like soft ramp up of pressure so in going to put a valve in before the heat exchanger so I can pressure profile with it. I also put a thread in the group so I could put jets in which helps with temperature stability.
