Welcome to my channel! I make videos about espresso brewing, as well as repairs and upgrades to espresso machines to get the best bang for your buck!

Video Description

15 bars is the advertised pressure of the DeLonghi Dedica, which is way too much for a conventional Espresso! In this video, we look at how to make a manometer out of a pressurized filter from the EC685. We will quantify how much pressure my EC680 and EC685 have respectively, and then do a shot comparison. We will draw taste conclusions, and look forward to the next video in the series, where we try out a couple of springs in the OPV, to try reaching a pressure of 9 bar. CAUTION! Use this video as entertainment purposes only, as the brew group and portafilter are under high pressure!
