So Eric what you are saying is that that these two inlets that supplies water to warm up the grouphead also supplies the brewwater?? I actually didn't know that. I thought that was the case on Aurelia but not the Appia.?

Yes, same-same.

And now I have updated my Blog with the resent scace readings on my Appia. These have been made after there has been installed a 1.6 mm hx jet.

Please do check it out.

Have a nice weekend.

By the way. An exciting thing that will be coming up soon (I hope) is to see what happens when the Appia gets direct water connection. These days I draw water from a plastic tank placed below the machine.

It is my theory that the water I will draw through a direct connection will be colder even though it is drawn through my Brita filter. So how will I see this in my scace readings?

I hope I will have direct connection within a month so keep an eye on my blog for scace readings

And even more readings posted on my blog.

So after two episodes of scace readings it seems like the machine is pretty close to the setting I want.

Just need to do a little more test of the flush routine to secure the most stable brew temperature. But it is nice to see that a long idle time followed by a 20 sec flush seems to hit right at 94degr C and pretty stable throughout the shot!
