Petrus PE3320

Overview

The Petrus PE3320 is a feature-rich semi-automatic from a Chinese brand that has built a solid domestic following. The 58mm commercial-standard portafilter accepts third-party baskets from VST and IMS, opening up significant upgrade potential. The pre-infusion system applies low-pressure water for several seconds before ramping to full pressure, improving extraction evenness. A built-in cup warmer on top adds a professional touch. The commercial-style steam wand provides enough power for proper microfoam production with practice. The PE3320 targets the Chinese domestic market primarily but has gained international attention through cross-border e-commerce platforms. Build quality is solid with a mix of metal and quality plastics.

The Petrus PE3320 comes equipped with pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a thermoblock boiler system made of stainless steel. The vibratory pump delivers 20.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $230, the Petrus PE3320 is designed for budget-conscious beginners and casual coffee drinkers. As a semi-automatic machine, it gives you control over the brewing process while handling pressure and temperature automatically.

In terms of build quality, the Petrus PE3320 is a substantial machine, weighing in at 6.0 kg, manufactured in China, drawing 1400W of power. With dimensions of 295 x 285 x 330 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 1600 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
