The process of making espresso contains several stages. First, the coffee machine presses and moistens the ground coffee. Then hot water passes through coffee at a pressure of about 15 bar, providing extraction, and throws the spent coffee into a special container. The pulse sensor in the water container controls its level with the help of a float. Respectively, the pulse from the sensor blocks the device operation in the event of a decrease in the amount of water. Of course, simultaneously, screen displays this information. Moreover, the pulse fluometer measures the water speed for making a drink in strict accordance with the recipe. Two pulse sensors control the amount of coffee beans in the compartment. This information is additionally used by the device for coffee making the required strength. The grinding degree is programmed for each recipe.
