Lelit Elizabeth Settings

SouthMark45

So just received my Elizabeth and have a few questions reference the advanced settings and pressure

Followed Dave’s advanced settings from the pdf from his review although some of the settings was massively different for example KPc as default was 2.0 whereas the recommended setting was 0.2 and KDc default was 1.0 whereas the recommended setting was 10 I’m assuming that Dave’s settings are what most people have set their Elizabeth to?

On to pressure - Should the pressure be adjusted to 9 bar if it’s brewing over that pressure? What pressure is everyone else using?

Thanks

Yes.

Use your machine e as is, for at least two months. Learn how to work with it, it’s behaviour, etc. and then, when you have a grasp and understanding of what influences what, then you start worrying about modifying the machine. Otherwise, you’ll never know if you have changed things for better or worse.

Cheers Medium….. Out of curiosity I keep seeing that Espresso should be brewed at 9 Bars of pressure is that just a myth?

Thanks

SouthMark45 - call it “the optimal pressure” someone came up with ages ago for coffee brewed ages ago. Let your tastebuds guide you. There’s no right or wrong. 👍
