Our mission:
Precisia Coffee is dedicated to manufacturing precision temperature controlled home espresso machines. It is widely recognized that proper brewing water temperature is one of the most important factors affecting the taste of the espresso. If the water temperature is too low, it will not completely extract the aroma from the coffee.
However, if the water temperature is too high, it will extract unwanted bitterness. Experts believe that the brewing temperature for any particular blend of espresso beans (optimum is typically between 91C and 98C) should be maintained within one degree during the extraction process in order to produce the best tasting espresso. In addition, each individual may have their own taste preferences of that coffee which can be affected by the brewing water temperature. Most home espresso machines use a simple snap action on-off thermostat as a means of controlling water temperature. This can allow for a fluctuation of up to 20 degrees in the brew water temperature and is the primary reason why most espressos made in the home cannot equal the taste of an espresso brewed in a commercial coffee cafe.
Precision temperature control:
The Precisia SYL-100 incorporates a custom developed temperature control system utilizing a PID algorithm that can maintain the water temperature for brewing your espresso within one degree of the selected value. Users can easily change the water temperature to suit their own taste. The actual temperature of the boiler is displayed by a bright red LED display with a green light signifying when the water is ready for brewing your espresso.
Home espresso machines usually require a rapid heat up speed. This requirement makes it difficult to obtain precision and stable temperature control, especially for a stainless steel boiler/group head. Precisia has achieved superior performance with these usually-contradictory parameters through innovative hardware and software design. The system generally takes about 5 minutes to heat up from room temperature and less than 2 minutes between each shot.
Precision shot volume control:
The shot volume of the espresso can be easily adjusted to suit the user's preferences. The shot volume is adjusted by varying the pumping time with one-second accuracy.
3 Stainless steel group head:
Precisia uses a stainless steel group head for better taste and uniform temperature rather than the more commonly used brass group heads which have the tendency to absorb coffee oils and negatively affect the taste.
With Precisia, you are in total control of your espresso.
Packing:
The Precisia SYL-100 comes nicely packaged in a sturdy cardboard box with formed
