Thanks for the tip, and great machine! How much can I expect the boiler pressure to increase when increasing the temperature?

[@pascalbondon2308]

If you increase the temperature from 122°C to 124°C, you only get 6,7% more pressure.This not terrific at all, but it might help.

[@beate_user]

Thanks for the tip! But what can I do to decrease the temperature? Or is it possible to upgrade a pid control?

[@remnant24]

To decrease the temp you do a cooling flush before pulling a shot.

Hi Jim, my PID is not working on my lelit. Can I use my machine still!
It’s stuck on 9

[@thinkertinkering3853]

How does this affect the functionality of the 3 way PID temperature switch found behind the drip tray? Also, what does this method offer which the 3 way switch is flipped to hottest setting doesn't do?

[@user-oz6xn2nd9b]

You are refering to the Mara "X" model witch is different from the one in this video.

[@matthewmorgan3240]

Has anyone tried to install a switch on their pl62 so you can alternate between the two temperatures? Mauro, is this possible?

[@rickseneris]

Add a toggle switch as an option?

[@1st-lineequipment]

Unfortunately, this will add to the price of the machine.

Mauro doesn't look happy lol

[@r.a.8156]

of course he doesn't look happy because his colleague didn't treat the maschine like an italien guy would do it ) awful...without any love
