Commercial features and performance, in a
domestic footprint. Espresso perfection requires precision temperature
and pressure control, consistently, every time. At the heart of this
machine is its dual stainless steel boiler heating system with
electronic PID temperature control. The dedicated espresso boiler is
adjustable (190°-205°F) for different bean roasts and origins, while a
separate steam boiler offers instant and powerful steam on demand. So
you can extract your shot at the right temperature, delivering optimal
flavor, while simultaneously steaming your milk to cafe quality. What's
more, there is another element in the group head, ensuring the entire
system maintains a consistent temperature.
The Dual Boiler also features an Over
Pressure Valve (OPV) which limits the 15 Bar Italian pump throughout the
extraction, preventing bitter flavors in the shot. It also offers a true
low pressure pre-infusion, which gradually increases the pressure to
gently expand the grinds for an even extraction.
But there's much more to this machine
for the coffee geek. Programmable pre-infusion duration and pre-infusion
power with manual override; a temperature display in either °F or °C;
and preset/manual-override/programmable shot volume. At the same time
we’ve kept it simple with user-friendly features. An optional Auto Start
setting preheats the machine at a programmed time; a top-fill 84 fl. oz
water tank ensures easy access; and the dedicated hot water outlet makes
it faster to pre-heat cups or prepare an Americano. There is also a shot
clock and pressure gauge to help you improve your barista skills over
time. All you'll need are some freshly ground beans and a bit of
practice to rival the best café.
