The heat thing is on my radar, I have a couple of ideas on how to solve it. One is to insulate the group head and build a heat shield divider for it. The other is to pop a handful of holes in the cover plate directly above it, and fabricate a drip shield. That should keep the temp down

Nice job - pid install looks good but agree that it may not like the heat up there I did a restore on a very similar machine: "Astoria SAE Junior (CMA/Laurentis/RIO) Refurbish Log" The pid is not very useful for this machine since it's a heat exchanger You need to flush the group head before pulling a

If you have the machine running 24/7 you might run into issues with the electronics in the PID controller getting sad above the group head. I've had a couple iterations on install locations . . . once below the drip tray (that became problematic with moisture), once ...

Is Heat Exchanger Temperature Stability Really That Bad?
The quote of the separate boiler in the Bianca isn't from me.. just a cut/paste typo.. but I would agree that a separate boiler for the brew water is a huge, huge improvement.
