Accurate espresso group pressure testing
Proper brewing pressure is one of the key factors affecting espresso extraction, shot consistency and flavour balance. This universal pressure gauge kit allows technicians and baristas to quickly measure the pressure at the espresso group, making it an essential tool for servicing and maintaining espresso machines.
Regular pressure testing helps identify pump performance issues, incorrect OPV settings and other mechanical problems before they begin to affect extraction quality.
Compatible with standard portafilters
The kit is designed to fit standard espresso machine portafilters, allowing fast and reliable pressure measurements on most commercial and semi-professional espresso machines equipped with compatible fittings.
Kit contents
- Analogue pressure gauge: 0–16 bar / 0–230 psi.
- Chrome-plated 3/8" adapter.
- Stainless steel filter screen.
- 3/8" PTFE gasket.
When should espresso pressure be checked?
Pressure testing is recommended after pump replacement, OPV adjustment, routine servicing or whenever espresso extraction becomes noticeably too fast or too slow. Regular maintenance helps ensure consistent machine performance and stable extraction quality.
