LCD Digital Coffee Maker Temperature Sensor Thermometer for E61 Group Head Espresso Coffee Machines Temperature Gauge Monitor

Replaced a much-older (and malfunctioning) temperature gauge with a basic digital display and manual switch (forget to turn it off? Battery dies..) This is a much-nicer option that looks "almost factory" on my Vetrano. Yes, its an older HX model but still chooches out the great Espresso but, being that it is not PID-equipped flushing is the way you get "fine" control of brew temperature thus the desire for this. I like it; settable for either Fahrenheit or Celsius whichever way you prefer. As for quality and value we'll see how it does over time.

Comparable in size with the gauges on the VBM Domobar Junior. Came with a CR2032 battery installed and a spare in the box, along with spacers, allen key, wrench and brief manual. Takes a few tries to get orientation correct using different spacers, although this isn't difficult.As rough guidance - from approx 35 C took ~10s to indicate 99.5 C in boiling water. Stabilised at indicated 100.1 C in boiling water. Indicated 0.7 C in a primitive ice/water bath. No obvious means to calibrate if these are incorrect or drift over time.Auto-switch-off after several minutes.Happy with the unit - provides good information to support E61 grouphead usage.

This is well made and perfect. I like then design and size of this and having auto off is fantastic.

I watched a few videos on my new Rocket aparliamento machine. My coffee shots were lacking creama when they poured for my machine. It was necessary to get my pressure just right and then work on temperature. Now I have beautiful shots. I couldn’t have done it without this gadget.

Looks like very good quality temperature sensor that screwed right in with additional spacers to make it align horizontally for easy reading. It fit my old classic 1998 Fiorenzato 2 group commercial espresso machine with the standard E61 group head.

The sensor is sleek and looks great with my machine. The accuracy is remained to be seen. So far it appears to be accurate with some slightly slow refresh rate. It refreshes quick when you pull the shot, but a bit slow when it comes to rising and dropping temp. I plan on asking seller accuracy tolerance. I appreciate the number size and automatic timing out. Lastly, the gaskets provided could be better.

Works Well but looks the best of all E61 Temp Sensors I've found. I have it installed on my Rocket Appartamento and it looks like a came from the factory. I found the others look cheap or out of place.

This is a tremendous upgrade to my espresso machine, even though I have a good espresso machine with HX boiler and E61 group I had no way of knowing the temperature of the water I was using to pull shots. Now I can hit that temperature sweet spot and know I’m not under extracting or using water that is too hot and potentially burning the coffee grounds. It’s been a game changer.Now if it only could read the pressure also that would be fantastic.
