Always, always disconnect the power/mains when working on equipment. Always.

If you have not yet watched the installation video on Youtube, do so first. This will give you an idea of the procedure.

The installation procedure is divided into 10 small steps with clear defined results for each step. For most people installing up to step 5 ( Active PID ) will be very satisfactory. Others might want preinfusion and pressure-control and/or steaming: it is up to you.

Disassemble your espresso-machine until you can safely reach all electrical components. Now follow these steps and verify the result at each step.

  1. Run meBarista, disable boiler
  2. Connect meCoffee
  3. Monitor boiler
  4. Passive PID
  5. Active PID
  6. Preinfusion
  7. Steaming
  8. Pressure control
  9. Timer
  10. Wrapping up

If you are unsure or in doubt: contact us and we will guide you through your installation.
