Safety valve coffee pump SES985

What is a pump pressure relief valve

The pressure relief valve is a part of the coffee machine's water system that protects the pump and the entire circuit from excessive pressure. When the safe limit is exceeded, it opens and diverts part of the water away from the main path, keeping the system pressure within the range needed for proper coffee extraction.

Signs of wear

• Fluctuating or too low pressure during coffee preparation
• Weak, watery coffee without sufficient crema
• Unusual bubbling, hissing, or noise while pumping water
• Water leaking from around the pump or under the coffee machine
• Error messages or pressure-related failures

Why you shouldn't put off the replacement

A worn or clogged valve cannot regulate pressure accurately, which affects coffee quality and can put unnecessary strain on the pump and other parts of the water system. Timely replacement prevents bigger failures and extends the coffee machine's lifespan.

How to choose the right part

Valves differ in shape, size, and mounting method depending on the specific pump type. Before ordering, check compatibility in the product table to make sure the part fits your coffee machine model exactly.
