E61 Group Head Pressure Gauge

I was actually going to buy the ECM pressure metre and the staff suggested I try this one which was less than half the cost. To this point I’m quite happy with it and it’s cool to watch the pressure right there at the group head. It allows me to give full consideration when I’m cleaning the group ahead to not let the pressure get above 12. Just my choice but that’s where it goes in about 10 seconds which I’ve been using as the norm for cleaning the group ahead. The only downside is that I didn’t know if I should use the washer provided with the screw that came with the group head or pull it out. When I used the washer, the metre was cockeyed. When I took the washer out, the metre sat almost perfectly straight. Quite happy with it right now!

Very nice; the glass is a bit shaky, but overall it works great.

This gauge provides an accurate reading of water pressure at the grouphead that I found helpful for diagnosing internal part cleaning and replacement.

Installation was very easy (as with water faucets, teflon plumber's thread tape ensures a leak-free seal), and the extra dial is a snazzy addition to my machine.

As always, Coffee Addicts delivered my order with rapid service and reliable packaging.

I got the black version to match my gauges on Profitec Pro 700. The installation was easy and with a little bit of Teflon tape I managed to get a straight alignment and leak-free installation. The dial movement is smooth and solid. It has helped me to get low pressure pre-infusion without flow control. It also looks very nice on the machine. For the price, you cannot go wrong with this!
