FLOW CONTROL

The longer you have been brewing espresso, the more likely you are to come across the term "Flow-control" or "Pressure profiling". This is the ability to influence the flow and pressure profile during your espresso brewing. The reason you want to be able to influence this is to get unique flavors that you would not get otherwise. When you have control over these two parameters, you can customize your pressure profile to suit a specific roast profile such as dark roast, medium roast or light roast. Some espresso machines allow you to manually create different pressure profiles and the ability to save them. Rocket have espresso machines where there are already ready-made pressure profiles that are adapted to certain roast profiles.
