Hi:
Just wondering what your preferences are for brew temp when using decaf (as espresso). I'm further curious to see if there's a correlation with the type of decaf process and brew temp, too.
I've been experimenting and not sure what I like yet.
Bonus variable.. preinfusion time of decaf with a lever, if there are preferences. So many variables.
Thank you for any thoughts on this.

I pull decaf and un-decaf daily, and I do not change temperature or pre-infusion, etc., for decaf in and of itself. Grind setting is the only thing that changes as decaf beans are physically different from normal beans.
I pretty much only change temperature to accommodate differences in roast level.
