For medium-dark roasts, we especially like the sweet, chocolate espresso brews that our Pro 800 V.2 yields with a boiler PID temp set at 115C, definitely lower than your demonstrated setting of 123C. It's a great machine with easy temperature management via the PID controller. Regarding temperature assessment adding an inexpensive digital thermometer with the thermocouple (inexpensively sourced from Amazon) attached to the lower brew head using thermal paste and a large diameter stainless steel clamp (also inexpensive) easily sourced from any hardware store and makes accurate temperature monitoring easy, and more accurate than adhesive liquid crystal temperature strips that we had initially used. Using a PID controlled boiler temp of115C, our brew head idles consistently at 81-82 C after a 1 hour WiFi timer controlled brew head warm-up. Then with a lever driven brew infusion the brew head rises in temp to 84-85 C, then within a few minutes by radiating heat to the surrounding air, it drops back to the idle temp of 81-82C ready and in time for the next shot pull.. Every morning we love the espressos and lattes that the Pro 800 delivers. Your recommendations are well appreciated. Nice video. Cheers.
What happens to the temperature of the group head if you pull multiple coffees? I would expect that it gets hotter and hotter with each extraction? The E61 group head, in other machines, goes to great effort to ensure that the temperature of the GH remains constant, in contrast to this machine. Would you recommend using an adhesive thermometer on this machine's group head?
How did you fit in 17g of coffee into single espresso portafilter ? I have this same model and it's impossible to fit in there 17g. Did you change basket from double one ?

hou what a beautiful machine that I would love to try.

I really want to learn more about this machine but very hard to listen to when left channel only. Can you please republish?
Can you do a first "half pull" to have a gentle 4-5 bar pre-infusion to then do a complete pull.

Hiya, would you be able to use one commercially do you think? Thanks 👍 nice review.
Amazing machine 😮

I think he should have mentioned the long warm up time.
my right ear is lonely
So much pain
was just about to say
Hmm, must have been a glitch, we'll try for 📾 next time.
Given it has a PID is a cooling flush no longer needed_
