Hi Jim, Great info on the pressure Stat. I'm considering going to a PID/SSR to control my steam boiler HX machine. Do most machines have a bung with threaded thermocouple probe as you mentioned? I would think the reading should be from the bottom of the boiler where the temp is most stable seeing as the water is laying in the bottom. When I added PID to my Silvia I simply replaced a metric screw at the thermostat location which did not penetrate the boiler. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks for the feedback. This part is in different places on different espresso machines. The video is more focused on the outcome that this part can attribute to in overheating or not heating at all.

so how do you test the temp of your hot water coming out of the brewhead? for the avg consumer.
it would be really helpful to actually have the machine apart to see what you are talking about where thx

Thanks..great detail for us technical types !
Sounds like a good reason to get a PID and trade off problems 😆
Grateful, I enjoy it🎉
What a lovely machine and great information.
