Why We Need it in our Coffee Machine

• Fast, precise and accurate pressure detection (delay as low as 0.1 seconds)
• Analyze live pressure graphs via Bluetooth on BOOKOO or Beanconqueror apps
• Track and replicate your best brews
• Experiment with pressure profiles (flat, declining, or lever-style)

Choosing the Right EM Kit for Your Coffee Machine

      Manual Lever Coffee Machines

1. For Flair 58 / Flair 58+ (G1/8 Thread)

• Option A: Replace the Stock Pressure Gauge
  • Simply unscrew the mechanical gauge and install the EM Pressure Sensor directly.
  • Best for users who prefer full digital monitoring.
• Option B: Keep the Mechanical Gauge (Tee & Gauge Kit Required)
  • Use the G1/8 Tee & Gauge Splitter to install both the EM sensor and the original pressure gauge.
  • Ideal for users who want analog + digital feedback.

2. For Flair Pro2 (M9 Thread)

• Option: Keep the Mechanical Gauge (Tee & Gauge Kit Required)
  • Use the M9 Tee & Gauge Splitter to retain the mechanical gauge while adding the EM sensor.

3. For Cafelat Robot (G1/8 Thread)

• Option: Keep the Mechanical Gauge (Tee & Gauge Kit Required)
  • Use the Cafelat Robot Tee & Gauge to install both the EM sensor and the original pressure gauge. Then you can keep the stock pressure gauge.

      E61 Espresso Machine

1. For E61 group head espresso machines and coffee machines (M6 Thread)

• Option A: Install the EM Pressure Sensor (M6 Adapter Required)
  • Turn off the espresso machine, unscrew the original pressure gauge, install the M6 adapter, and then install the EM Pressure Sensor into the adapter.
• Option B: Keep the Mechanical Gauge (E61 Tee & Gauge Kit Required)
  • Both the EM pressure sensor and the mechanical gauge screw into the M6 adapter, which connects to the pressure port on the E61 group head.
