E61 Group Thermometer Kit
Best precision tool for home baristas seeking consistent espresso extraction.
Enhance your espresso brewing precision with the E61 Group Thermometer Kit. This accessory allows for more accurate temperature readings of your E61 group head during idle periods and monitors the water temperature near the coffee puck during brewing. Installation is straightforward, requiring no drilling or permanent modifications to standard E61 group heads with an M6 connection. The thermometer features a clear digital display that can switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, along with buttons to start and pause temperature readings, or hold a specific temperature. Note that minor variations between the thermometer's reading and the actual water temperature at the puck are normal and depend on your specific machine and brewing conditions.
