This automatic espresso shot timer senses when a shot has started and displays the shot time in seconds. The timer automatically stops when the barista stops the shot, resets after a short while, and records the most recent shot time.
The timer comes with a high-resolution LCD screen with a background light (not the version that only displays the shot time). The logo on the screen is customizable to make it unique to you.
The timer requires no modification to the espresso machine and installs without tools. The timer is attached to the machine via nano PU gel.
The timer can be either powered by
1) an external 5V USB or
2) the machine's circuit board directly through a mini voltage converter that is compatible with 110v - 240v. Identifying the right wires would require electrical knowledge and professional tools to test.
The timer supports multi-group espresso machines.
Compatible with any machine using 24V, 120V, or 220V grouphead (3 way) solenoids (AC not DC). Compatible with below machines:
1. Quick Mill Silvano, Faema E61 Jubile, Gaggia Classic, Avanti Siena Deluxe with E61, Nuova Simonelli Music, Rancilio Silvia, Dalla Corte Mina
2. Most La Marzocco machines including the Linea Mini, Linea Classic EE and AV, Linea PB AV and ABR, GS3, GB5, Strada AV, EE and EP. Will not work with MP models including Linea MP, Linea PB MP, Strada MP or GS3 MP
The Shot Timer does not work on most E61 grouphead espresso machines. This includes many "prosumer" machines made by Quickmill, Rocket, and ECM.
The Shot Timer also does not work on most Slayer espresso machines as they use DC solenoids instead of AC.
