Pressure release valve

What the safety valve does

The safety valve is a safety component of the coffee machine's boiler that automatically releases excess steam or water pressure when the pressure in the system exceeds a safe limit. This protects the boiler, hoses and other components from damage and reduces the risk of a dangerous situation in the event of a pressure system fault.

How to spot wear

A worn or clogged valve may start to open on its own even under normal pressure, resulting in steam or water leaking outside the normal cycle along with hissing sounds. Conversely, if the valve gets stuck in the closed position, the coffee machine may not regulate pressure correctly and may show an error or shut down unexpectedly.

Why replace this part in time

A functioning safety valve is a basic safeguard against excessive pressure in the boiler. Replacing it at the first signs of failure prevents further damage to the coffee machine and keeps coffee brewing and milk frothing safe and reliable.

How to choose the right part

Valves differ in size and set opening pressure depending on the specific coffee machine model, so please check compatibility in the product table.
