LaSpaziale S1 Vivaldi Dream Temperature Tests

DREAM RESULTS COMING SOON. TESTING IS COMPLETE. I JUST HAVE TO BUILD THE WEB PAGE.

 

Below is Chris Nachtrieb's explanation of how his techs test and adjust the offset before each Dream is shipped:

We test each machine and set the offset accordingly. Some machines 0°F offset, some -1°F, some +1°F. We use the Scace device and a digital Fluke.

Here is how we perform the test to calibrate.

  • First let the machine completely heat up.
  • Leave the Scace device in the group.
  • We program one of the buttons to dispense 2 ounces of water.
  • We press that button and pull two ounces through the Scace.
  • We then take the Scace out of the group.
  • Watch the blinking lights till the set temp is reached, which takes app 30seconds, and then put the Scace back into the group and take our reading.

The 30 seconds represents the time it take someone to grind and tamp coffee before putting the portafilter back into the group.  We repeat it three or four times before making any adjustments.
