Pesado T.P.D Temperature and Pressure Device Only

A PESADO 58.5 T.P.D was designed to allow users to diagnose their coffee extraction by examining the most important variables, temperature and pressure.

The device is available as a detachable option for all spouted portafilters based on PESADO 58.5. Utilizing the latest in pressure and temperature reading technology, the TPD lets you see what is actually happening during the extraction of your coffee.

TPD with Portafilter attachment comes with full POM handle, no spout or spring included

PLEASE FOLLOW PRE-REQUISITE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING DEVICE

• Optimal Temperature and Pressure reading
• Optimal pressure and flow rate readings vary depending on make, model and technology of your equipment, heat exchange machines will behave differently to saturated boiler systems. Please follow your machine's instruction manual for recommended temperature and pump pressure.
• Any readings made by the TPD do not reflect in any way the manufacturer's specifications or the required guidelines for the equipment to operate correctly

What's in the box

• 1 x Pesado Temperature and Pressure Device

Water Pressure Reading

• Lock the portafilter to your machine with TPD device attached
• Run water through as if you were making coffee
• Close the drain valve of the TPD (twist knob clockwise)
• Watch pressure rise (left gauge)
• This is now your maximum pressure
• Turn off the group switch and slowly open the drain valve to release water and pressure build up.

Temperature reading Temperature reading:

• Lock the portafilter to your machine with TPD device attached.
• Turn on the temperature gauge.
• Adjust the sensor to desired temperature reading (Fahrenheit or Celcius)
• Fully open drain valve (twist knob anti-clockwise) and run water through the device as if you were making coffee, this will purge any air pocket in the system and stabilize temperatures of the TPD body.
• Whilst water is still running close to the drain valve of the TPD (twist knob clockwise)
• Watch temperature and pressure reading rise.
• Once the temperature reading reaches maximum temperature, open the TPD drain valve slowly (twist anti-clockwise) until Bar Pressure reading is between 7-9 bar.
• When the pressure gauge (left) is between 7-9 bar, this will mimic the average flow rate of an espresso shot and it will also be the Temperature of the water flowing out of the group head. Try to achieve a flow of 30ml/30 seconds, this will mimic the coffee extraction rate

Coffee Parts Thoughts

Pesado has turned out to be a fantastic brand for a great price. Their approach to precision brewing illustrates not only the quality of the product but also the result you should expect to return from their coffee tools.

We love Australian based coffee companies and knowing that Pesado is based in Melbourne the coffee capital, we can trust their expert knowledge and design processes will yield only the finest coffee.
