Boren Is there a way to mod the Elizabeth hot water knob to be used for flow control, similar to the Slayer Mod for the Breville/Sage Dual Boiler? The Elizabeth is otherwise a more attractive machine.
Boren Ah, good point. I see it only has a steam knob. What happens if you open it during espresso extraction?
MediumRoastSteam Boren - nothing. It’s a dual boiler. You’ll get steam, and you can steam and brew at the same time. If you go to “About” in this forum, there’s a link to many coffee machine reviews, including the Elizabeth, in great depth. You might want to take a look. 😊👍
Boren Interesting. So I finally have some justification for owning two single-boiler espresso machines over a dual-boiler one :-)
-Mac gobucks . I haven’t stared at it all day, but I’ve walked by it maybe a dozen times and it’s always been within range.
gobucks -Mac LOL. Pretty accurate. Anyway a few days in, so far, so good. While I can’t explain the exact mechanics of it, it def seems to be related to running the steam boiler hot. At 130C I have no issues, and it’s plenty of steam.
MediumRoastSteam gobucks - out of curiosity, in advanced settings, did you remove the steam boiler temperature offset? That’s Es and should be set to 0. Are you also using Dave’s settings for the steam boiler at least? Settings here: https://sway.office.com/S5J4d9Jp4Y9LdVFx
