The pump forces the water through that resistance and the power it needs to do so is commonly measured in bar (= kg per square centimeter). A pressure rating is used on most pump-driven espresso machines. 9 bar the typical accepted pressure for brewing espresso is 8.8 atmospheres of pressure or 130 pounds per square inch. Good pumps should be able to create more pressure (power) than they need to produce perfect espresso so that they don't break when the right combination (fineness and consistency of grind tamping amount of ground coffee) are not prevalent. A good pump has a capacity of creating 15 or more bars. To produce a lasting crema on top of your espresso the water should pass through the coffee at approximately 7 to 9 bars of pressure.About CapressoLaunched in 1994 Capresso provides innovative coffee equipment for professionals and home users alike.
