Flow Control Espresso Machines

Espresso flow control refers to the ability to regulate the rate at which water flows through the coffee grounds during the espresso extraction process. This control can be achieved through various methods, such as adjusting the pressure profile, manipulating the flow rate manually, or utilizing specialized equipment like flow restrictors or pressure profiling devices. By modulating the flow of water, baristas can fine-tune the extraction parameters, including contact time, pressure, and temperature, to optimize flavor extraction and balance in the espresso shot. This precise control allows for experimentation with different brewing techniques, enhancing consistency and customization while unlocking the full potential of the coffee's flavor profile.
