After brewing or during steam functions, excess pressure needs safe release. This valve acts as the safety outlet, efficiently discharging built-up steam and water from the boiler. Proper operation prevents dangerous pressure buildup, protects internal components from stress damage, and is vital for consistent machine performance – especially crucial for home baristas who demand perfect espresso shots daily.
