The Isomac Amica is a new addition to Isomac's range of espresso machines. Internally it is the same as the highly regarded Zaffiro but externally the machine has a different styling. Like the Zaffiro it is one of the best single boiler machines on the market.

The boiler serves two functions - to supply water for making espresso and to produce steam for frothing milk. The boiler is one of the largest found in single boiler machines and this helps keep the water temperature stable while allowing you to make perfect espressos one after another with no delay between one and the next.

Like all the machines from Isomac it is solidly built. It is constructed from very heavy-gauge quality polished stainless steel panelling and has metal components throughout. It features a professional E61 group head (the E61 group head was originally developed by Faema) which is made from solid brass with chrome plating. Water circulates through the group head and the boiler (thermosyphon) which supplies heat to the group head. The solid metal of the group head acts as a heat sink helping to stabilise the water temperature as you draw your espresso.

• Polished stainless-steel body and frame for added durability

• Heavy Duty Pump - The Amica uses a 52-watt vibratory pump that provides the exact pressures needed to deliver perfect espresso. The lines from the pump, to the boiler, and from the boiler to the group head are all commercial grade items, with a big, beefy piece of cast brass helping to complete the trip. Other machines may feel the need to advertise their BAR rating; the Venus doesn't have to - it's a given the machine has the power to spare.

• Chromed brass group head and 10-ounce solid brass boiler for added temperature stability

•  12 to 14 pump pressure

• Expansion relief-valve allows excess pump pressure to be redirected to the water reservoir

• Three (3) way solenoid valve on the group head allows the filter handle to be removed immediately after the espresso extraction

• The pressure gauge on the front of the machine will monitor brewing pressures to ensure you are getting the best espresso shot at 8-9 bar.

• The Venus features four solid toggle switches with integrated indicator lights. The power switch is on the upper right far corner of the control panel. The three switches on the left side of the control panel: control the brewing, hot water, and steaming functions of the machine.

• Three (3) thermostats - coffee, steam, and safety

• Stainless-steel braided hose from pump to boiler for added durability - other machines may only have Teflon hoses that are susceptible to cracking over time

• Swivel-based steam wand with two-hole, chrome-plated steam tip

• Stainless-steel drip tray and cover (very large and removable)

• Three (3) liter water reservoir removable from top for easy refilling or easy cleaning

• Accessories: one (1) pro-style 58mm filter handle with dual spouts, a 1-cup filter basket, a 2-cup filter basket, a plastic scoop, and a bakelite tamper
