Latest Scace readings (hx jet 1.6 mm)

1.6mm hx jet

Has been installed. And the first set of scace readings have allready been made. It will be published shortly.

Scace device

Just to informa you. I Will be back with more scace readings in a week or two? Looking forward too see what the 1,75 mm jet has done to the temperature?

Tuning the Nuova Simonelli Appia

Hi there

It has been a long time since my last post. But now there is news on the way. Saturday I am fine-tuning my Appia with a 1,75mm hx restrictor that should lower the brew temperature apr. 3 degr. C. This will make a dramatic change in my machine and should held decrease the cooling flush. I hope that it will increase temperature stability as well.

I will have it installed saturday - and hopefully I will have access to a scace device so I can measure the changes. I hope I will be able to increase the boiler pressure at the same time and thereby increase the steaming ability.

I will be back :-)

Future experiments

I will never stop experimenting on perfecting my equipment. I am planning on replacing the hot water inlet jet in the Appia in order to lower the brew temperatur. I hereby hope that I can avoid long cooling flushes.

This will hopefully make it easier for me to control the temperature in my home setup. As I have written about earlier I have to do a series of flushes to nail the temperature at 93,5 C. If I do these routines I really got a temperature stable machine.

I will be back when I have this new jet installed.
