Know before you buy
The device is specifically designed for machines equipped with an E61 group head. Please verify your machine's group head type before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
The profiler features automatic capture that triggers once the pressure reaches 0.8 bar. It stops recording automatically when the pressure drops to zero or when the cup is lifted from the scale.
The system records and visualizes your extraction time, brew weight, brew ratio, flow rate, and maximum pressure. This data is displayed in real-time via the companion app to help you refine your technique.
Installation is straightforward and involves mounting the transducer to your machine and pairing the device with the companion app on your phone. No complex wiring or permanent modifications to your machine are required.
Yes, the app allows you to save your previous extractions and use them as reference graphs. This makes it much easier to achieve consistent, repeatable results across different coffee beans and recipes.
No, the profiler is designed to pair directly with your smartphone via the companion app. It does not require a computer interface to function during your daily brewing routine.
