How the portafilter works

A Portafilter-/Espresso machine heats the water to about 90 °C and presses it through the ground coffee in the Portafilter at a pressure of about 9 bar. The quality and performance of the pump has a considerable influence on the result and the taste of the finished coffee: it guides the hot water from the tank to the brewing head and ensures that it flows through the Portafilter evenly and with optimum pressure. A distinction is made between rotary and vibratory pumps. A rotary pump is usually more durable than a vibratory pump, offers a larger capacity and is much quieter in operation.

Single-circuit, dual-circuit, dual boiler - Find the right espresso machine for you

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 brewing group and the stainless steel nozzle (steam lance) responsible for frothing milk are fed from the same boiler. However, the steam needed for cappuccino and co. is only produced at well over 100 °C - this means that the water still has to be heated after the espresso has been brewed (at 90 °C). A single-circuit machine is therefore not ideal if you like to prepare different coffee specialities.

Two-circuit portafilter machine

The advantage of a dual-circuit espresso machine is that you can 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, in which the water for espresso preparation is directed and heated to the optimum brewing temperature. To ensure that this temperature is not exceeded, you can simply drain off some water via the brewing head during longer waiting times. The heat exchanger is then filled again 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 speciality coffees in succession without having to worry about fluctuations in pressure or temperature. Dual boilers have two separate boilers for steam and brewing water. They offer a large capacity, the best possible control and therefore particularly flexible coffee enjoyment.

Tip

A constant brewing temperature is particularly important for the quality of your espresso. Espresso machines with integrated PID control allow you to easily adjust the water temperature to the exact degree.
