Domobar Jr Hx Temps

Hello, I've just received my shiny new VBM Domobar Jr Hx Digital. Lovely machine, visually. Pulled a few shots to get it basically dialed in, so far so good. I wonder, though, how to think about the brew temperature setting. Is this calibrated to the boiler or the group, does anyone know? Is if I set it to

La Marzocco GS/3 no pressure brew boiler

So! I have adjusted a little bit and now I have 12 bars max and then it fluctuates when warming/stops warming. Maybe this is just normal and how it works from a physics perspective I guess it makes sense

Cam/lever frozen in place post-servicing

The machine is five years old, so I decided to get a generic set of replacement parts from blue-star-coffee for the E61, and set about replacing the old parts on my grouphead.

Olympia Cremina lever questions after group gasket replacement

You asked about coffee roasters in Olympia, WA. Olympia Coffee Roasting was excellent last time I checked. Dancing Goats should be good and used to be called Batdorf and Bronson. If you find yourself driving from Olympia to Portland, I'm on the way and can demonstrate a proper pull on a vintage La Pavoni, which is very similar to my

Extracamundo! Temperature adjustments?
