Profitec Pro 700 brew relay problem

For sure, I did try that and it does not exhibit the same behavior. Its just so odd, relays are simple devices, signal +/- to close the gate to close another loop, so its so strange to me that me moving the operation outside the Gicar box would alter that. The HS1 pinout is like this signal +

Current blend of 49th Parallel Epic

I have a fair amount of experience with Epic, I used it exclusively for the better part of the last year, and the cafe I frequent when I'm lazy or want a great cup uses Epic all the time. I have to say I like the late 2010 blend much better, it was chocolaty and sweet, and I loved that
