This is such a cool build. Great work so far! Somehow this is the first time I'm seeing this.

The machine has truly evolved through your project. Hardly the same machine at all and more of a makeover and updating it seems.

Why are there two water feeds at the top of the boiler? Or are those the steam outlets?

Thanks y'all! Electronics box is now insulated and pressure switch is set to around 1.7bar for now. One body panel left to redo in carbon fiber and its done.
There's two steam outlets and one for water.

Hello:
Fantastic job!
Congratulations.
I also came to the same conclusion after some time with my PID'd Cimbali Jr.
ie: silent solid state switching, on the run adjustable temperature, highly adjustable/stable deadband and a very fancy temperature display.
Provided your sensor has been installed in the right place, of course.
Cheers,
CIV

I'd say it serves more like the ideal pressurestat, albeit electronic.Swong46 wrote: ... a very fancy temperature display

I seem to notice from your posted video, that the ears on your bottomless portafilter are in the normal position for that of a pump driven group, as opposed to the normal offset ear position one would expect for lever machines.
Is this correct, or are my eyes deceiving me?
BTW: Beautiful restoration and rebuild!

I didn't realize that's a normal designation, I think the Conti PF's I have, have ears like this also. But I am using PF's from Decent Espresso. The lugs are slightly thinner so it rotates too far but a thicker gasket/shims will take care of that.BaristaBoy E61 wrote:I seem to notice from your posted video, that the ears on your bottomless portafilter are in the normal position for that of a pump driven group, as opposed to the normal offset ear position one would expect for lever machines.
