Dear HB members,

We've been working with @csanadymiklos on an add-on for our piston pressure kits since January. It is a project, that has the potential to redefine what we think of espresso consistency. A tool, that can be attached to a large number of machines - lever or pump. It helps monitoring pressure and flow, can be used for analysis, education - or simply for fun.
In our newsletter we've sent out limited information to our subscriber. @mdmvrockford started even a thread speculating about the development. Now we reached a level in the development, where we can share more information, answer questions regarding the application if there are any.

A bluetooth transducer is used for monitoring/logging the pressure and and an Acaia Lunar for the flow.

One of the most important things about this tool is, that it can be hooked up to virtually any machine, which has a pressure port.

The product launches in the World of Coffee Amsterdam.

We call it the Smart Espresso Profiler.

I've edited a new video about the current version of the application:
On the link below you will find our earlier spots for the SEP:

We'are looking forward to your questions and appreciate your feedback, ideas, suggestions.

Gábor and Miklós

Thanks for the Link Gabor

Brilliant, Gabor!

I'm not sure why I have not received the email update, but I have seen the other links in the thread, and thank you for the update!

Yet another thing I will "have" to buy!

Same here! Never got the emails but have been following and can't wait to get one!

Looks great Gabor! I've had my eye on this since the first tease and have been hungry for additional information, so thanks for setting up this thread. Will you be releasing a Cremina67 and Europiccola profiling kit that includes the new transmitter, or is this strictly an add-on for the existing kits? Also, has the price been determined and released?

I'm also curious about the flow derived from weight. It would seem that the actual flow depends on a density which would be variable depending upon the amount of and density of the crema, as well as the varied amount of coffee solubles added to the water over time. Are you aware of how much this can vary for your calculations of volumetric flow based on weight change, and how are you accounting for this?

I'm excited about this product as I am sure you are too. Best wishes for a successful launch and Expo!

Impressive work!

Did you find a solution for the Strietman as well?

Ciao

Looks great. Can a thermometer be integrated into it?

We will launch it as add on for the existing kits. But there are some machines (most E61 group machines and all La Marzoccos with the gauge mounted on the group) which can the transducer hooked on without any modification.

Price: we are still developing on the application, no price determined yet sorry.

Flow: as it is now, is simply the rise of the espresso weight/second.

There is a working prototype with a Caravel like handle. Machining the parts for that handle is extremely expensive. I'll try to push it down.

A nicely integrated solution seems very difficult.
