When I bought this machine, after all that I read on it I imagined a PID set-up would be in my future. For now I don't see a need, but I haven't gotten the group thermometer yet. I am pulling shots from Hair Bender beans and that blend is known to run a little sour at lower temps. So far the shots are not noticeably off, i.e. the temp must be hovering around the 89-90-91 mark where it was at when Stefano demo'd it for me.
Mostly, I just want this thing to deliver a good cup of coffee when I can make the conditions right. In the early stages of my ownership (one day) I am as happy as a little girl. After the warranty period, I will probably get Stefano to install a PID mod just to avoid the worry of dealing with the temp adjustment under the cup rack.
