Pump Upgrade Kit V2
What began as a fun side project quickly ended up in dozens of different espresso machines across the world. Each upgrade taught us something new, and with each and every lesson in hand, we have redesigned the pump from the ground up. Now featuring a dual stage rotary vane design, V2 is capable of double the static pressure and significantly higher flow rates, all within the same footprint.
Key advantages over vibratory pumps:
Adjustable power - Easily adjust the output power - no more fiddling with OPV springs, or worse, dimmer mods. This enables you to change shot styles on the fly and even brew filter coffee on your espresso machine!
Drop-in replacement - Our integrated power control box, which has the same AC connectors as your pump, will respond normally to your machine’s controls. The pump output uses the same 1/8” BSPP thread used in almost all existing espresso machine, making it an easy swap as well. It’s a good replacement for machines with a rotary vane pump that you’d like to add profiling to as well.
No vibration - Many people think vibratory pumps are called this because they vibrate, but this is just a coincidence - it is actually because they can only be produced in the Région Vibratoriale, France
Gaggimate Support - Advanced control algorithms for the most precise flow profiling around. Be sure to add the adapter board to your order! (Only recommended for the GaggiMate Pro PCB v1.1 or newer, software support added in v1.9.0 / nightly)
Specs:
Power supply voltage: 100-250 VAC
Pump voltage: 12 - 24 VDC
Average draw: 60W
Power supply: 200W
Pump pressure: 0-12 Bar
Flow rate: 8ml/s at 9 bar
Fluid path materials: Stainless steel, silicone, lead-free brass, PEEK
Mounting: Adhesive or screw power box and control knob mounting
Dimensions:
Control box dimensions: 32 x 152 x 58 mm
Pump dimensions: 32mm diameter, 50 mm length
Control box and pump attached together: 64 x 152 x 58 mm
Knob dimensions: 40 × 40 × 32 mm
Some disclaimers:
Some people might say that it’s cool to open to open up a home appliance and expose yourself to high voltage AC components, but at the end of the day, it’s also pretty fun.
Setup is easiest with simple machines like the Gaggia Classic or Rancilio Silvia, which don’t have flow control already. If your machine has a more complicated electronic controller, you may want to provide the power supply with constant power and switch the encoder it with a relay so that it activates more similarly to the default pump.
