SBS Principle - Saeco Brewing System
Adjusting the ow speed, which inuences the
contact time between the coee and water,
alters the extraction and therefore the taste
intensity and strength of the coee.
• Slower ow: Stronger extraction
• Faster ow: Lighter extraction
SBS dispensing valve
Turning the SBS adjustment knob will trigger
the brewing process in the coee unit, where
the ow speed is adjusted via a cream valve.
Cream valve adjustment
Greater ow (light extraction)
If the SBS valve is open, the coee ows
easily because the pressure is lower and
the membrane remains almost in its base
position with the help of the spring.
The adjustment needle does not close the
opening and the ow does not decrease.
Cream valve adjustment
Slow ow (strong extraction)
The coee is dispensed slowly with the SBS
valve closed due to the pressure created,
which acts on the membrane and presses it
to the side against the spring force.
Lastly, the valve needle closes the opening,
thereby, reducing the ow.
