Or is that wrong as well? Hmm I might have to test out this 100% cake saturation, previously I was only trying out partial saturation which might be not be so good. What's the line pressure over at your place? Sorry I might have screwed up my previous statement, I meant that the paddle works live a valve, the more you open it the more water goes through it.

What’s the line pressure over at your place?

You would control preinfusion pressure by controlling your line pressure with a regulator. The timer allows a controlled period of line pressure preinfusion before the pump kicks in, and the 0.6mm restrictor gives it a gentle ramp up to pressure. It does change things - there seems to be growing evidence that 100% cake saturation at line pressure is a good thing (under certain circumstances) It isn’t paddle controlled – i.e. there is no incremental pressure adjustments.

Do you think it changes anything? Personally having experimented with this kind of preinfusion I have to say that I prefer a 3s rampup (0-9bar) with a gicleur.

What makes this model more useful is the addition of timers in each group head that delay the pump a set amount of time when you engage the group. Engaging the group still opens the solenoids so you can have a very controlled and repeatable preinfusion.
