ECM E61 Flow Control Device

Profitec E61 Flow Control Device – Total Control Over Your Espresso Extraction

Fine-tune your espresso like a pro

The Profitec E61 Flow Control Device is an innovative upgrade that lets you manually control the water flow and pressure during espresso extraction.

Compatible with any E61 brew group, this accessory gives you the freedom to experiment with flow and pressure profiling — a feature normally found on high-end professional machines.

By turning the precision stainless-steel needle valve, you can vary how quickly water passes through the coffee puck.

This allows you to shape the flavor balance of each shot: extend pre-infusion for sweetness and body, or accelerate flow for lighter, fruitier profiles.

It’s a simple yet transformative way to elevate your espresso skills.

Key Features

• Compatible with E61 brew groups (Profitec, ECM, Rocket & more)
• Manual flow adjustment for advanced pressure profiling
• Stainless-steel needle valve with integrated pressure gauge
• Adjustable pre-infusion to optimize extraction and aroma
• Easy installation – plug-and-play replacement for the group top
• Perfect upgrade for passionate home baristas

Why we love it at WB.coffee ☕

This flow-control kit transforms your Profitec or other E61 machine into a fully profile-capable espresso system.

An espresso machine is like a car or a bycicle. Would you buy it online without a test drive? At WB.coffee we provide dedicated personal shopping (read more below at the Try before you Buy section). We can advice you on which machine and set up suits you best. Do you use it for your morning espresso or are you brewing dozens of latte's for family and friends every weekend? There are many factors to consider and what seems fancy and goodlooking might not be the best option for you.

While an espresso machine is essential, it’s only the first step; to enjoy flavorful coffee, you require a reliable grinder for freshly ground beans, high-quality coffee beans, a spotless machine, and suitable filters. Therefore, it's wise to buy an espresso from a specialist. 

Questions we will ask you: 

• How do you currently make coffee? 
• How many coffees do you want to make? 
• What kind of coffees do you drink (with or without milk)
• Do you alreayd have a grinder? 
• How much space do you have on your (kitchen) counter? 
• What price category are you looking at? 
• What beans do you (intend to) use?

We are dedicated to offering you support with maintenance and cleaning, brewing advice, troubleshooting, choosing high-quality beans, and more. Whenever you need a replacement part or have any warranty issues, we are here to assist you.

Rest assured, we can order most brands and machines and we will have it for you in no time.

Your eye is often caugth by the beauty of a machine. How will it look in my kitchen? Of course esthetics are important and many great machines come in different customization (colors, wood, chrome, copper, etc). The machine must howerver, first and foremoste, suit your needs!

Questions we will ask you: 

• How do you currently make coffee? 
• How many coffees do you want to make? 
• What kind of coffees do you drink (with or without milk)
• Do you alreayd have a grinder? 
• How much space do you have on your (kitchen) counter? 
• What price category are you looking at? 
• What beans do you (intend to) use?

Sustainability

A machine with a well insulated boiler in the right size/capacity will heat up fast, whilst using minimal energy. Size matters and it all depends on your drinking habits. 

Repairability

Not all brands are build for repairs. Are spare parts available? Is support available? 

Upgrades 

With our tasty specialty coffee beans you are likely to get addicted. Maybe you will want to extract more flavor and upgrade your shower screen, portafilter basket, maybe even a naked portafilter? Pressure profiling, shot timer, pressure gauge. Many brands and machines are suitable for (custom) upgrades. 

Some brands are on purpose not suitable for universal parts and tools, so they can sell their own overpriced parts instead. 

Health 

Lower end, cheaper machines often use plastic parts. With PFAS and microplastics this is not such a good idea. Oils and heat let plastic migrate into your drink. With some brands this is also the case with their more expensive machines from around 1000 euro! 

Let us guide you whilst tasting how great coffee should be!

An espresso machine is just one essential part you need to brew great espresso at home. To get a proper start you need: 

• espresso grinder 
• Good, fresh beans (you won't find those in the supermarket!) 
• proper tamper (often a bad to mediocre one is added by the manufactorer) 
• tamping mat 
• espresso scale 
• blind filter grouphead brush (often a bad to mediocre one is added by the manufactorer - you will burn your hands with those!) 
• coffee oil cleaner 

Optional but recommended 

• barista workshop / course
• dosing cup 
• shot glass 
• milk pitcher(s) 
• milk cleaner 
• puck screen 
• levelling tool

There are a lot of extra tools and upgrades we can reccomend, you can every time treat yourself to a gadget when ordering coffee! Don't feel shy to ask for reccomendations. Of course you can go and try and find all these items seperately in some vague online store or big e-commerce platform. Big chance you will end up with some chinese knock-off and get 10 seperate packages. Not very sustainable and not very economical. 

Just add coffee and gadgets you want to your cart and we can apply discount for you. Just select bank transfer as payment option and we can manually apply discount and make you a non-binding offer.

We do offer best price guarantee for most brands and products.

Don't have the right tools? No time? No experience? Looking for an upgrade

No problem. Your E61 is build to last for years. You can repair everything with spare parts available. You can replace parts and even do upgrades such as installing pressure gauges and temperature sensors. 

We provide the following services: 

• Descaling the boiler and machine 
• Deep cleaning grouphead 
• Replacing parts 
• Upgrading parts 
• Repairs 

Small repairs we can do inhouse in Weesp. For big or complicated repairs we sometimes advice to send your machine to a trusted third party workshop. 

If you bought your machine elsewhere and it is under warranty check it first. Generally speaking warranty is mostly void if you don't use a proper water filter, don't do proper backflushing, cleaning and occasional deep cleaning. Even with water filter periodic descaling is required. If a default or failure falls under factory warranty it will usually occur during the first weeks or months of machine usage. Most of the issues that occur later are usually normal maintenance (like replacing the window wipes and tires of a car). 

We can usually give a quotation after short evaluation. It can however happen that another problem occurs. In this case we will contact you. 

We will ask you for a pre-payment for (custom) parts and labor. 

A first investigation /analysis usually takes 10-15min and costs 20 euro. We will deduct this from your final bill. When you decide not to proceed or we cannot establish the problem (we decide not to proceed) we will give you a 20 euro credit towards coffee beans.
