They're kind of independent whereby the group head will eventually overheat if being left on for a while (not recommended) even if the pressure remains consistent (0.8 bar ish is seen as optimum).
Deffo agree with pulling a mug of water to heat the portafilter, group and the mug!
Also give the steam wand a blast before pulling any water as false pressure can build up too!
