Over the weekend I experimented (out of necessity) with a somewhat different way of working with my machine.
I'll typically run my BZ07 between 90 and 93 degrees, brew the coffee, then texture the milk.
But with a big family gathering underway the HX struggles with texturing a litre of milk in one hit if the boiler temp is too low.
This time I cranked up the PID to 96 and then began texturing at the same time as starting a brew. I had the idea due to recent knowledge upgrades to do with lever machines - they start the shot hot and cool off during the course of the shot.
So this had a double benefit - both simulating a lever style temp drop as well as allowing enough pressure for my milk to texture with the masses of steam that was now available.
I can't say the shots suffered for the treatment - or were any better for that matter, but they were certainly no worse!
