Brew Temperature Analyzer (BTA) for E61 Group Coffee Machines

Habe nun zwei davon

Ich habe Ende letzten Jahres den BTA gekauft und leider feststellen müssen, dass dieser einen Wackelkontakt hatte. Nach einem kurzem Gespräch mit dem Hersteller, wurde mir ein Ersatzgerät zugesendet, dass seitdem sehr gut funktioniert. Ich habe das BTA einzeln gekauft und mittlerweile einen Temperaturlogger selbst entwickelt. Mit dieser Kombination komme ich auf sehr genaue und wiederholbare Messungen. Persönlich kann ich jedem den BTA ans Herz legen, der die eigene Maschine kennenlernen/verstehen möchte. So habe ich mittlerweile eine Möglichkeit entdeckt, wie ich trotz Boiler-Maschine nach bereits 5min den ersten Bezug starten kann, welcher Auf der gewünschten Temperatur liegt.

Great!

Easy to use, solid quality and a great way to ensure the correct temperature offset for your Espressomachine for a fair price. Very clever design to make it fit with any bottomless filter holder to use in various machines!

Works, fits many (not all portafilter)

Really like having a dedicated BTA. I have a number of bottomless portafilters. The first was a bottomless from Rocket, did not fit. I also had a very nice generic stainless steel portafilter that was just fine. The generic was sold as a lie flat portafilter, but it is not one now dedicated to this BTA. I am very satisfied to have this tool, though it will only be used sparingly. And by the way, it’s nice that the 3D plastic piece attaches via magnets. But the piece pops off very easily. I don’t know if the light connection to the metal body is an issue or a “feature”. My guess would be that a stronger magnetic connection would be more desirable. All in all, I would recommend this this product. I would also strongly recommend buying this product with a matching portafilter, due to the matching unless one has many to choose from. Secondly I would recommend buying in the YOWEXA digital thermocouple too, if one didn’t have that hardware (unless one already does). Finding an affordable required hardware would be a challenge for many people.
