Temperature display
Each boiler is equipped with its own temperature controlling system. Measured temperature values
can be displayed 2-ways: on the control panel and/or on the large 3-digit displays underneath each
group (see Figure 6). In the barista menu, the temperature unit can be switched from °C to °F.

On control panel
At
“normal” operation, the control panel will show the temperatures of all coffee boilers and the steam
boiler and will continue to do so during a shot such that information about temperature is always real-
time available during a shot.
An orange line above a temperature value on the interface indicates that the controller sends a signal
to activate the corresponding heating element.

On 3-digit displays
Factory setting is that a 3-digit display will display the temperature of the corresponding group during
idle. It changes to a shot-timer when the group is activated. The shot-time will be replaced by the
boiler temperature after a user-adjustable amount of seconds (see Figure 7).
Shot time
The shot time gives an excellent indication of the brew process and can assist the trained barista to
refine that process.
The large 3-digit displays underneath each group (see Figure 7) function as shot timers and/or
temperature display. In factory setting the displays show at idle the temperature of the corresponding
coffee boiler. As soon as the group valve opens the function changes to shot timer, starting at zero,
and counting starts. The timer stops counting when the group valve is closed and the measured time
between opening and closing of the group valve remains displayed for an adjustable amount of
seconds after the group valve was closed upon which the display changes back to showing the
temperature.
