Boiler pressure is closer to 140 PSI or (9.5 bar) and the temperature is closer to 230 degrees because the steam is under pressure. Also most espresso machine use a pump to make the pressure for the group and the temperature of the cold water is raised to 195 degrees (optimum temp, 202 is a little high) by having it pass through a heat exchanger. I think the best espresso machine ever was the Faema E61. It was the first pump-driven one and the most simplest and elegant. The older piston ones are cool too, but the design is totally different.Meccanico di Venohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745569773948941485noreply@blogger.com
