Why Pressure in Espresso Matters?

Having control over the amount of pressure your espresso is extracting at is useful for a couple different reasons:

Consistency:

Being able to measure the pressure of your shot will help you to replicate this same pressure for future espresso shots.

Pre-infusion:

Staring your espresso with a slow pump and small amount of pressure introduces your puck of coffee to your water and helps to evenly wet all the grounds before reaching full pressure and extracting at a higher pressure..

Pressure profiling:

Extracting espressos at different pressures can help to layer the textural element of your espresso and bring out a much more complex range of flavours. Read more about how to pressure profile espresso with the Picopresso Pressure Gauge.
