Premium E61 Grouphead Coffee Thermometer - Accurate Temperature Sensor for Espresso Machines | Perfect for Baristas & Home Brewing

Coffee Sensor THERMOMETER FOR EXPOSED E-61 GROUPHEAD

CaffeTech Canada presents The Coffee Sensor grouphead thermometer. The purpose of this adapter and digital thermometer is to facilitate the measurement of brew water temperature about 1.25" away from the puck during a real brew cycle. In addition, and EQUALLY IMPORTANT, it measures the temperature of the group head under idle conditions. It requires no drilling, tapping, soldering, brazing, cutting, Teflon tape, or epoxy but can ONLY be installed in E61 group-heads that are fully exposed. The difference between the temperature that you will be measuring using this adapter and measured temperature of the water hitting the puck is approximately 3-5 degrees F but may vary with different machines and different brew conditions and most certainly, varies over the course of a typical 23-27 second shot.

The new style thermometer has switches for both the on/off function and temperature scales (degrees F/degrees C).

Full installation kit and written instructions in the box. The installation kit consists of one Allen key, one fix 10 mm key and two copper sealing washers (one spare).

Features

• Single body stainless steel adapter that makes this product one of the safest of its kind. Because there are no joints / bolts into the adapter, accidental torn and hot water splash can not occur
• Digital thermometer with Celsius / Fahrenheit switch button. Working temperature of the thermometer: between -50 and 200 degrees
• Two copper sealing washers offered into the box (one spare), that are highly resistant to friction and high temperature for longer periods of time than classical rubber or Teflon washers
• One battery

Instructions

The installation of the Coffee Sensor Thermometer doesn’t need special tools, conditions or high tech knowledge. Therefore, you just have to make sure the E61 coffee machine is turned off and cooled down. Remove the Allen head located just on front of the group head and replace it with our product. No need for Teflon tape, sealant, cutting or any sort of adaptations. Everything you need to install our product is located in the retail box. The most important condition is to make sure that your coffee machine model has an E61 exposed group head.

Please understand that the Coffee Sensor Thermometer is located just near the coffee puck, at a maximum of 1.25″ above. So the readings the sensor gives you are a little bit different comparing to the actual temperature of the water that hits the puck. Feel free to add a maximum 2 degrees Celsius above the readings to calculate a more realistic extraction temperature.
Depending of the construction type of your coffee machine, the readings can vary between different espresso machine manufacturers. Usually the difference is into the angle of witch the sensor is inserted into the group head.
