Video of my installation of an Auber PID kit on my Rancilio Silvia. I ordered it from www.auberins.com and it took about two weeks to ship to Australia and about an hour to install. Was pretty easy and makes a MASSIVE difference to getting perfect brew temperatures. No more temp surfing!

  • Hey, thanks for the question. 25 secs after hitting the switch it drops to 87 degrees C. Just tested it out and drinking a latte right now! Mmmm

  • How did it do?

  • Really great, has improved my shot consistency by heaps!

  • Very nice run down, thanks! I'm going to install this same PID on my La Pavoni lever machine, so that I can maintain a more constant boiler temp.

  • My PID is 4 years old. It's the TET-7100 similar to the Auber. No pre-infusion or steam control. Set-up allows manual or automatic temp control.

    When the brew button is pushed I can see the temp LED drop 40 degrees F during extraction. It's normal because cold water is refilling the boiler. Without the PID the recovery time can be 10 mins. or longer unless forced. With PID it's about 2-3 mins--30 secs. if the steam button is pushed on during brew & off after for quicker triple multi-shots!

  • It's not the group head that drops that much, only the top of the boiler.

  • Hi is the installation of the PID easy enough? I am considering to install one but wonder if it makes a big difference in the taste and the amount of crema.

  • Thanks I installed mine 2 days ago and I love it, I was just wondering if it was normal for the temperature to drop that much during the shot, but I guess it is......

    Thanks for the quick reply ;-)

    Enjoy your lattes....

  • I got a question for you.

    What is the temperature at the end of a shot (25 seconds after hiting the brew switch), how low does it drop?

    Thanks for the info

  • This is a great upgrade for a Silvia. With a good grinder you can achieve really good consistancy.
