How the portafilter machine works

A Portafilter heats the water to approximately 90 °C and forces it through the ground coffee in Portafilter at a pressure of about 9 bar. The quality and performance of the pump have a significant impact on the result and the flavor of the finished coffee: It directs the hot water from the tank to the brew head and ensures that it flows through the Portafilter and at optimal pressure. A distinction is made between rotary and vibration pumps. A rotary pump is generally more durable than a vibration pump, offers greater capacity, and is significantly quieter in operation.

Single-circuit, dual-circuit, dual-boiler – Find the right espresso machine

Single-circuit portafilter machine

If you mainly want to make espresso, a single-circuit espresso machine is a good choice. In this model, both the brew group and the stainless-steel nozzle (steam wand) used for frothing milk are fed from the same boiler. However, the steam needed for cappuccino and other drinks isn’t produced until the water reaches well over 100 °C—which means the water must be heated further after brewing the espresso (at 90 °C). A single-circuit machine is therefore not ideal if you’d like to prepare a variety of specialty coffees.

Dual-circuit portafilter machine

The advantage of a dual-circuit espresso machine is that it allows you to brew coffee and froth milk at the same time. This model also has only one boiler—but it contains two separate water circuits. A heat exchanger runs through the boiler for steam and hot water; the water for espresso preparation is channeled through this heat exchanger and heated to the optimal brewing temperature. To ensure this temperature isn’t exceeded, you can simply let a little water run through the brew head during longer wait times. The heat exchanger is then refilled with fresh, cold water for the next ristretto, cappuccino, or flat white.

Dual-Boiler Portafilter Machine

With the new dual-boiler espresso machines, you can prepare several different specialty coffees one after another without having to worry about fluctuations in pressure or temperature. Dual-boiler machines have two separate boilers for steam and brewing water. They offer a large capacity, optimal control, and, as a result, a particularly flexible coffee experience.

Tip

A consistent brewing temperature is especially important for the quality of your espresso. With espresso machines that have built-in PID control, you can easily set the water temperature to the exact degree.
