What is a brew head
The brew head is the part of the coffee machine through which hot water passes under pressure into the coffee. It ensures even distribution of water over the ground coffee and maintains the pressure needed for proper espresso extraction.
Signs of wear
Over time, limescale and coffee oil residue build up on the head, which can cause uneven brewing, water leaking from the sides, a change in coffee taste, or a drop in pressure. If the seal is damaged or the head is deformed, noise or dripping after brewing may also occur.
Why timely replacement pays off
A worn or damaged brew head affects extraction quality and can put extra strain on other parts of the brewing unit, such as the seals or the heating element. Timely replacement prevents bigger failures and keeps the coffee taste consistent.
How to choose the right replacement
- Check compatibility in the product table.
- Check the condition of the adjacent seals when replacing.
