Иштөө принциби

The SBS Crema Valve is an integral part of the brewing process. It works by creating back pressure during extraction, which is crucial for forcing the hot water through the finely ground coffee at the correct rate and pressure. This controlled resistance helps to emulsify the coffee oils, resulting in the rich, golden-brown crema that is characteristic of a well-made espresso. A properly functioning crema valve ensures consistent pressure and optimal flavor extraction.
