All the PID does is help ensure the boiler doesn't overshoot and get too hot as it comes back up to temp.
Would it help with steam though? The problem I have is getting the steam at the right temperature, so my morning flat white is very hit and miss. If a PID could make my steam temperature consistent (which this one can) presumably that would help?

Pretty much. The boiler is 350ml but I think only half fills with water so there is room for steam.
As such 30 ml of water in a shot is approx 1/5 of the water in the boiler.
I had the PID on a Silvia and you could see the temp drop by approx 15C with each shot. All the PID does is help ensure the boiler doesn't overshoot and get too hot as it comes back up to temp.
