Introducing our Brew Temperature Analyzer (BTA), a compact, easy-to-use measurement tool designed specifically for home baristas. It accurately tracks the temperature during the coffee extraction, giving you full control to perfect your espresso brewing temperature. Built with a high-precision Type T thermocouple, it delivers real-time data with minimal setup, allowing you to determine the brewing temperature inside your coffee basket. The Brew Temperature Analyzer offers the accuracy and feedback typically reserved for commercial tools - now in an affordable, user-friendly format. Product features Type T thermocouple with fast response time Plastic insert with minimal thermal conductivity Static flow restrictor to consistently reproduce the pressure drop of a coffee puck Magnetically attachable single spout cap for user-friendly and safe testing Filter basket is compatible with E61 group head machines and similar What is included?

Determine the true brewing temperature and correct the machine offset value Measure the machine heat-up time until stable operating temperature is achieved Analyze the shot-to-shot temperature stability of your coffee machine How to perform the temperature offset measurement? To achieve optimal measurement accuracy and repeatability, it is recommended to perform the tests based on a temperature measurement protocol. Two valuable resources for espresso machines are: Competition Espresso Machines: Specifications & Test Methods (2021 Edition) by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) Espressomaschinen-Testprotokoll (in German) by Kaffeemacher How to calibrate your temperature sensor & reader? It is recommended to calibrate your sensor and reader setup before your first temperature test to guarantee the best measurement accuracy. A video tutorial on how to calibrate your device will be available soon. You have a different coffee machine?
