LUCCA E61 Flow Control: Installation & How It Works
Congratulations on your new LUCCA E61 Flow Control device. In this guide, you'll find installation instructions (not necessary if yours came pre-installed with a new machine) and the Clive recipe for how to pull your first shot.
If you purchased this pre-installed on a new machine, you can skip the install instructions below and scroll to the bottom for our 1-minute video on pulling your first flow-controlled shot.
What’s included:
- Paddle
- E61 Mushroom with Flow Control
- E61 Manometer (LUCCA gauge)
- Large E61 Teflon Gasket
- Small Teflon Gasket
- Rubber O-ring (we provide this as an extra part in the case the LUCCA gauge does not center when threading, in most cases, it won't be needed.)
- 2mm Allen Key
Tools Needed for installation:
- Adjustable wrench
- 2mm + 5mm Allen keys
- Microfiber towel
Step-by-Step Install Instructions
- With your machine off (and cool), remove the mushroom cap with an adjustable wrench and microfiber towel to avoid scratching the chrome.
- Lift the brew lever to remove spring tension.
- Install the E61 mushroom with flow control from the kit into the brew valve.
- Ensure the flow control spindle is open by turning it counter-clockwise before installing the mushroom into the E61.
- Ensure the brew lever is down to avoid water drainage. Expect some water to drip when installing.
- Use the adjustable wrench and microfiber towel to tighten the mushroom valve.
- Using the 5mm Allen key, remove the group head screw.
- Place the o-ring gasket onto the LUCCA gauge.
- Push down and screw the LUCCA gauge into the group head.
- Close the flow control by screwing it clockwise.
- Install the paddle onto the E61 mushroom in the closed position and tighten with the 2mm Allen key.
- Turn on the machine and let it warm up.
- Lift brew lever to test for leaks. With the pump engaged, move the paddle to control water flow.
- Insert a blank basket to test the LUCCA gauge.
