Flowmeter for DELONGHI NESPRESSO 90°C coffee machines

What is a flow meter and what is it for

A flow meter is a component that measures the amount of water passing into the coffee machine during preparation of the drink. Based on its signal, the coffee machine's control electronics dose the precise amount of water for espresso, a longer coffee, or milk frothing. Without a properly functioning flow meter, the coffee machine cannot recognize how much water has already passed through.

Signs of wear or malfunction

A worn or dirty flow meter shows up as inaccurate water dosing, fluctuating strength or volume of the drink, or a complete interruption of brewing with an error message on the display. Sometimes an unusual sound appears when drawing in water, or the coffee machine stops responding to the standard brewing buttons.

Why replace this part in time

If the flow meter does not measure correctly, the coffee machine may overfill or underfill with water, affecting both the taste and consistency of the coffee. Long-term neglect of the problem can put extra strain on other parts of the hydraulic system and lead to bigger failures.

How to choose the right part

When choosing a replacement, always check compatibility in the product table, as flow meters vary in size and connection method depending on the specific coffee machine model.
