Profitec pressure control valve with manometer

The pressure control valve is a professional upgrade accessory designed for advanced home baristas who want complete control over the espresso extraction process. This accessory enables manual control of water flow and pressure within the Profitec brew group, opening up a whole new level of precision in coffee preparation.

With the Flow Profile Valve, you can precisely adjust the speed at which water reaches the coffee during extraction. Slower flow at the beginning of the process significantly reduces the risk of uneven extraction (channeling), allowing for even wetting of the coffee and a more stable extraction flow.

This accessory allows you to control another crucial parameter, in addition to grinding and coffee dose — flow profiling, which results in richer, more balanced, and more consistent espresso shots. It is ideal for experimenting with different coffee types and extraction styles.
