Lusso owners ,,at what pressure and temp do you run your machines

and where do you measure the temp on the grouphead ??(just so that we can compare)

sins i read that there can be quite a difference at witch they run idle , i would like to know

lets say one runs his or hers machine at 1 bar , and the group runs idle at 70C
and another also runs the machine at 1 bar , but due to differences in the thermosiphon it runs at different temp

also what roast degree you mostly brew

I don't own a Lusso anymore but I used to run it on 1.2 bars.

The measurements I took few months ago showed about 84c group temperature at idle:



Regarding the roast degree, I usually don't drink anything darker than Full City.
