“Necessary part. Good construction. However, this is the second time I have replaced the pressurestat. Contacts burn and then stick after 3 or 4 years. Not the pressurestats fault. It is my Wega that uses the switch to directly drive the 1200W heater coil. The normally closed side of the switch (pressure low) is not current rated as high as the normally open side of the switch. This time I added a high current relay for the heater coil that the pressurestat switch energizes. No more high current through the switch. Should last forever now.”
“Heavier than it looks giving it a feel of quality. Also it seems to switch much quicker than my old piris pressurestat. The XP110switches from steaming to brewing within a few seconds while the piris took much longer and eventually stopped switching over entirely.
Espressoparts did a great job having this part in stock at a good price with free shipping. And the shipping was quick and because of the tracking number I knew where it was all the way to my house.”
“It is the Mater pressurestat. I have the Elektra Microcasa a Leva, so the pressurestat is on the bottom, and they break a lot. Even with the best RO filtered water, they just break on the bottom. EP ships it out fast and it is the exact part number. Great service.”
“This is a nicer pressurestat than the one it replaced. The brass lower body and threaded fitting is more durable than the plastic lower body of the original pressurestat that came with my Expobar Brewtus II. Don't get me wrong, the original plastic pressurestat lasted 14 years. It's a champ for lasting 14 years. However, after 14 years the plastic was crystallized and brittle. It disintegrated when I attempted to remove it for steam boiler descaling. This brass pressure stat won't have this issue. It's a little wider than the original, but it fits and is regulating steam pressure consistently.”
