Overview
The Severin KA 5992 Espresa Plus upgrades the base model with PID temperature control and a built-in pressure gauge for real-time extraction monitoring. These additions transform the Espresa from a basic entry machine into a genuinely capable learning tool for aspiring home baristas. The PID displays target and actual temperatures, allowing users to adjust for different coffee roasts. The pressure gauge provides visual feedback on puck resistance, helping users dial in their grind size and tamping pressure. German consumer magazine Stiftung Warentest rated the Espresa Plus highly for its price-to-performance ratio in the semi-automatic category.
The Severin KA 5992 Espresa Plus comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a thermoblock boiler system made of stainless steel. The vibratory pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.
