What is Pump pressure in bar?
In short
The pressure a machine applies to ground coffee, and the figure that separates a machine that copes with tight pucks from one that stalls.
Pump bar is the pressure a machine's pump applies to ground coffee, and it is the number a buyer uses to judge whether an espresso machine can push water through a tightly packed puck. Most of the brands here sit at the same level, and Beko sits above them. 1st In Coffee lists a pump pressure of 15, Breville 15, Bruvi 15 and AirWin Group 15, against 19 for Beko.
