In the last video, we built a manometer out of a portafilter and blind disc. In this video, we will try different spring strengths and lengths in the OPV of the Delonghi Dedica EC685, and see if we can attain 9 bars. If you try to manipulate the spring length, please be aware that you may damage your OPV and need to replace it. Product links below.
