What is a flow meter and what is it for
A flow meter is a sensor that measures the amount of water passing through the group or another circuit of the coffee machine. Based on its signal, the electronics decide when to stop the water flow for a given dose, ensuring repeatable dosing and a consistent taste in the cup.
Signs of wear or malfunction
When the flow meter wears out or limescale or debris builds up inside it, dosing becomes inaccurate - the coffee comes out weaker or stronger, or the machine fails to stop the flow at all, or displays a dosing-related error. Sometimes water leakage may also appear at the connection point if the seal or fitting is also damaged.
Why replace the part in time
A malfunctioning flow meter doesn't just affect the taste - it can also lead to water overflow, unnecessary wear of other components, or the need for manual intervention with every brew. Timely replacement restores precise and repeatable dosing.

- Choose the part according to the specific coffee machine model.
