{"product_id":"wpm-primus","title":"WPM Primus – Espresso Machine with Pressure Profiling","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"ccc-mobile-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWPM Primus – Espresso Machine with Gear Pump and Pressure Profiling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe milk starts swirling the moment the wand dips in. A quiet, even hiss, the vortex draws air into the finest pores, and within seconds the foam gleams like freshly poured cream. At the same time, the espresso runs alongside – golden brown, dense, with the machine never having to choose between the two. That exact side-by-side is the moment the WPM Primus was built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA gear pump changes what you taste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost machines for home use run a vibration pump: pressure comes as it comes. The Primus instead relies on a gear pump – quiet, even and, above all, controllable. Adjust extraction pressure in real time, watch the pressure curve live on the colour display, and save your own profiles or pick one of the presets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy that changes the taste comes down to extraction chemistry: different compounds dissolve at different points in time, and pressure shapes that aromatic window. A gentle pre-infusion lets the grounds swell evenly before full pressure draws out sweetness and body – caramel and chocolate step forward, harsh notes fall away. Coffee contains over 800 compounds, and the pressure profile is part of what decides which of them end up in your cup. It's a learning process, not a push-button promise – and that's exactly what makes it exciting. If you'd rather pull a constant shot, you can just run the Primus the classic way. Both paths are valid, and our opinion on this is one of many.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree heating circuits, one goal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside works a hybrid system: a 0.8-litre boiler for thermal stability, a PID-controlled thermoblock for brew temperature, and a separate SuperSteam thermoblock just for steam. That means pulling espresso and steaming milk at the same time – no switching, no temperature drop. Brew temperature is adjustable from 70 to 98 °C and stays stable within ±1 °C. Temperature helps decide which compounds dissolve: higher for more body, lower for more complexity – the Primus hands you that range built in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thermoblocks heat on demand, with fresh water on every shot. Our practical recommendation: give the machine at least 10–15 minutes to warm up, until the brew group and portafilter are heated through too – the espresso then tastes noticeably rounder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSteam made for latte art\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWPM comes out of the latte art scene, and you can feel it in the steam: it's powerful, continuous and known in the community for its dry character. The 360° steam wand with a two-hole tip and seven adjustable steam levels brings the milk into a rolling texture right away – fine-pored, glossy microfoam that holds hearts, tulips and rosettes. With a pitcher from our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/barista-milch-pitcher\"\u003eMilk Pitcher Collection\u003c\/a\u003e you have exactly the right tool in hand for it.

The result is a brew temperature accurate to ±1 °C and fresh water on every shot. Boiler and thermoblock are different paths to the same goal – neither is the only right one. We recommend giving the machine at least 10–15 minutes to warm up, so the brew group and portafilter are up to temperature too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I pull espresso and steam milk at the same time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The SuperSteam thermoblock is dedicated solely to steam, leaving the brew circuit unaffected, so you work as you would on a commercial machine – no switching, no waiting between espresso and milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Pressure Profiling complicated?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Primus can be run at constant pressure just like any classic machine. If you want to dig deeper, pick a preset profile or build your own – for example with a gentle pre-infusion before the main extraction. We extract by weight ratio, 1:2 as a starting point, and adjust the profile to the taste, never the other way around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich grinder suits the WPM Primus?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny single-dosing grinder with an espresso-fine grind.
