These are TWO premium components found on our espresso machine - a Sirai (best in class) pressure regulator (box on top with black cover) for the boiler and a Gicar automatic water refill relay (again best in class) to automatically fill the boiler when needed. Remember, always use a power surge protector to avoid these parts from becoming affected with surges and spikes in your electrical system. The beauty of having a Sirai pressurstat is that the contacts can be cleaned with a wire brush. Carbon usually builds up on the contacts of all pressurstats. However, only the Sirai stle has contacts that can be cleaned. In addition, if they are beyond cleaning, there are an extra two sets of contacts that can be used. Hence, any other machine that has a smaller pressurstat needs to be replaced at $30-60 a pop!
