In an espresso machine the heat exchanger works on the same principle of taking a heat source and transferring the heat energy to another object The boiler itself supplies the user with steam for stretching milk as well as hot water, but the heat exchanger helps create temperature-regulated water for brewing espresso. Are heat exchanger … Read more
Thanks for your question – the steam temperature doesnt need to be controlled as tightly as the brew temperature (within a degree or so), so it uses a PID feature that turns the elements on/off at a set temperature (in the same way that a thermostat does, or should – though in reality they are … Read more
The breville infuser is on par with steam power, but features a programmable PID and two espresso shot time buttons that allow even more control over your espresso. Does breville infuser have 3 way valve? A 3-way solenoid valve relieves the portafilter of pressure and moisture after the extraction. This produces a dry puck which … Read more

My question was: what is the actual default temperature? Thanks everyone. Breville confirmed that the thermo-coil heating element is specced to 200 F How do you reset the temperature on a breville barista express? To reset the machine to the default 1 CUP and 2 CUP shot volumes and espresso water temperature press and hold … Read more
A two group, dual boiler machine can effectively double your capacity With this type of machine you could have two baristas brewing and steaming at once, solving speed issues you might be experiencing. They are also more precise than heat exchangers because of the dedicated boiler. Which is better double boiler or heat exchanger? A … Read more
Use your coffee grinder to grind the coffee beans or use your favourite filter coffee. Take your Moccamaster measuring spoon and put 5 to 6 scoops of coffee in the filter. Each scoop makes 2 cups of coffee (add that extra scoops if you’re brewing 10 cups). How do you measure coffee for Moccamaster? The … Read more

Whether or not you need a PID in an espresso machine is an individual matter If you are someone who values nuanced coffee flavors and aspires to brew better coffee, a pid controller will be an essential part of your coffee brewing set. It will afford you confidence in temperature stability and consistency. What does … Read more
The benefit of a single-boiler espresso machine is that it is generally cheaper than a heat exchange espresso machine To make an espresso, a single-boiler machine has to change modes from coffee mode to steam mode, and there is an associated wait/drain time. Do I really need a dual boiler? So who needs a double … Read more
