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 on the large 3-digit displays underneath each group
(see
). In the barista menu, the temperature unit can be switched from °C to °F.
On control panel
The operational window of 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.

On 3-digit displays
Factory setting is that a 3-digit display TEMP/TIMER 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 a (user-adjustable) moment after the shot has ended. When a
coffee boiler is at ECO, the 3-digit display goes blank.
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 (TEMP/TIMER; see
) 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 lever circuit is closed (the lever is taken out of resting
position) the function changes to shot timer, starting at zero, and counting starts. The timer stops
counting when the lever has returned to resting position or when brew is stopped (using relief) and the
measured time remains displayed for an adjustable amount of seconds after the group valve was
closed upon which the display changes back to showing the temperature.
