Since brass is also used in the construction of espresso machines, some lead can be absorbed via the water for the espresso shot. Lead can—depending on the amount—have a harmful effect on health.
Even if an espresso only contains a few milliliters of water, we have tried to avoid such heavy metals during the design.
For this purpose, we have looked for materials that are harmless to health as alternatives. For example, we use valves made of food-safe PPS or coated valves.
The lead values are correspondingly low.
A measurement directly after installation gives slightly higher values—whereby the value 0.7 (the lead content of the drinking water) must be subtracted from both results.
Both values comply with limit value 10.
Die Werte können von Maschine zu Maschine variieren.
