If with minimal modification, the SEP can be fitted onto virtually any espresso machine, as Laczkó suggested, the door is theoretically open for mapping and recreating shots pulled on rare and obsolete machines, such as museum pieces and other antiques, either for enthusiasts’ curiosity or perhaps to create a Jurassic Park-like cafe, where prehistoric-style espresso is extracted anew to strike awe upon the palates of modern coffee drinkers. Kits are available for machines made by Olympia, La Pavoni, Streitman, the Flair, and even the popular pump-driven consumer Gaggia Classic. The company has also designed special kits with precise custom replacement parts to which the device attaches. The hardware carries a retail price of $410 and is compatible with any grouphead to which a pressure gauge can be attached, such as the La Marzocco GS3 MP, the Espresso Forge, and the E61 grouphead design adopted by such manufacturers as Rocket, Profitec, Lelit, Quickmill, Bezzera and others. Said Laczkó, “If you are consistent, and change only one parameter - dose, temp or grind for example - you will instantly see the effect on the flow/pressure profile and taste in your cup.” One of the key breakthroughs of the SEP, according to Laczkó, is its visual confirmation and record of changes resulting from even the slightest adjustment to individual variables, assuming all others remain constant. The Naked Portafilter analog piston pressure kit installed on the Flair Espresso Maker The Smart Espresso Profiler (SEP) is a Bluetooth-connected device that collects data from an increasingly wide spectrum of compatible groupheads, and coordinates with Acaia Lunar espresso scales to visualize a wealth of critical info on any connected device’s screen, thereby making new heights of espresso geekery available to exponentially more geeks.

These barriers to entry might be disintegrating, however, now that espresso accessory-maker Naked Portafilter has developed and launched a new tool for home and professional baristas that appears to be breaking the field wide open. Until recently, it has required thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of specialized equipment to accurately measure and act upon several of the more important factors in espresso brewing - factors such as the duration and force of pre-infusion, the pressure profile for the rest of the shot, and the cutting-edge tweak du jour: the flow rate.
