There is a filter-basket with NTC sensor (K03344-00) available that will register the temperature in the
coffee-bed during extraction and can be helpful to check functioning of the different groups. Of course,
you can also check the mix-water temperature with this item.

Although the input of the “external sensor” is displayed without delay, the temperature shown will
always be lagging a bit w.r.t. the actual temperature at the sensor-tip as the probe-temperature needs
to adjust to the surrounding temperature. Response time of this sensor to 90% (of the temperature
difference) is appr. 1 second.
