Can this apply 20-30 lbs of pressure to the portafilter upon pressing? How do you know the amount of pressure you are applying?

Yes, I tested it out pressing down on a package scale. 30 lbs is actually a lot of pressure. Subjectively it feels like the amount of pressure one applies when kneading bread.

yes it is very heavy. As to how do you know how much pressure you are giving it, it is just practice.

It's nice and stout, so yes. Only way you gauge force with this though is by feel. If you want to hit a specific number, you'll need something else.

Sorry, I really don't know. Pressure is pressure and I would assume it would.

Adjust your flow knob. Also crank it up. I spray around 35-40 psi depending on the solution. When you set your psi are you watching what happens to the gage after you pull the trigger. My often drops and I have to readjust the pressure. Hope this helps.

I think it would give you enough pressure. This is a great little machine. I threw away my iron! Hoe this helps!

I think it will depend on how large a barrel you are using. your pressure will be determined by weight of the water in the barrel.

Yes depending on size and shape and you have program it to apply the right pressure depending on the object.

I have been using this on a 3100 psi washer for some time now. it works great!

30 to 50 PSI-max according to the material you are spraying . and a flow of 8.3 SCFM continuous or 4.3 average .Gun works well . I also purchased that seal maintenance kit

Yes. There is a knob on top that can be twisted to decrease or increase the pressure on the presser foot.

There should be a sticker on the top with a plus and a minus. Turn the knob toward the plus to increase pressure or towards the minus for less pressure. When i got mine i turned it all the way to the right and then while turning it back to the right i counted the number of turns divided the total number of turns by 2 then i knew where "medium" pressure was. Hope this helps!

I agree with David, may be too much coffee in the portafilter or not enough pressure packing the cup (30lbs pressure).

The gauge shows two things, and they move together. One has a * 2 * 4 * 6 (etc) scale, the other has little bars that measure each 10 pounds of pressure. The first bar corresponds to 20, then there's the number 30, then two more bars, then the number 60, etc. The needle on the gauge, when I tried it just now, begins to move when I get more than 20 lbs. of pressure into the tube. The "2" on the numeric scale roughly corresponds to 35 lbs of pressure. Hope that's helpful

Hello, this particular portafilter will not, but we do have the correct portafilter on order. We are currently sold out on our Amazon store. If we can be of further assistance feel free to contact us. Best regards, -caffe forte

My compressor is a 5hp 80 gallon putting out 155psi and this regulator has handled that with no problems.I could not find out the max input before I bought mine either, and had to put the pressure to it and see what happened.It has been almost a year since I started using mine and I have regulated as low as 9lbs for powder coat.The gauge goes to 160.It's a pretty big well built unit that will take you by surprise when you take it out of the box.

I don't know the exact pressure. The website for the product could tell you that. I can tell you the machine is amazing. In love it. Works great!

Don't know the exact pressure. We have used it for sports equipment, bicycle tires and car tires.

Yes, it's with preset pressure at 30PSI, and you can adjust it by yourself.
