Complete 3/8" portafilter fitting and pressure gauge for easy to use, quick maintenance on your machine. Measure pump dispensing pressure right at the group head.
Heh. Not really. I seem to have stored the original in a “safe” place, & now I can’t find it. 😂 They both did the job. It’s a bit fiddly using plumbers tape on the short thread of the portafilter, but works fine eventually.
Easy to install and use. You'll need to tighten the guage and assemble to the portafilter so that it faces outward when used. I also needed to remove the basket and inner piece under the basket to get a proper seal for the pressure to read on the gauge. I set my OPV to 8.5 bar because on a taste test, that was least bitter and least acidic and had the best flavours. Remember, when doing the bar settings, you need to keep the size of the grinds the same in the future. If you have finer or couser grounds than when you set your pressure, your espresso will taste different, obviously.
Wooooooo
The part arrived quickly and did work fine. There are a couple of inserts, a rubber washer/restrictor and a wire screen which I was unsure of what to do with, but seemed to work as anticipated 👍
