Ideas with Passion SBS Valve Beverage dispensing The SBS brewing system valve (see Fig. 2) controllable via the knob, enables variation (increas- ing or decreasing according to the position of the knob) of the water flow rate for brewing. This adjusts the coffee brewing time (extraction time) and consequently the intensity of taste, keeping the cream quality constant.

Ideas with Passion SBS valve operation check To ensure correct operation of the valve SBS a long coffee should be made, and during preparation of the latter, check the difference in dispensing speed between the maximum and minimum positions. The difference in dispensing speed is approx. 2.5 times greater (and therefore VERY obvious!!).
