The
Millennium II is at the top end of the range of highly regarded single group
espresso machines from Isomac. It is a professional espresso machine that
is ideal for the coffee enthusiast. Whether you use it at home, in a small
office, or to provide coffee for customers, its stunning looks will make
it a feature and focal point and it will let you make all those gourmet
coffee drinks that people love such as espresso, cappuccino, latte, mocha,
or even hot chocolate.
In
common with most commercial machines it has a large boiler with a heat
exchanger and can produce continuous steam. The heat exchanger allows you
to both draw espresso shots and use steam at any time and without
"preparing" the machine first, as you do with most domestic espresso
machines, by switching it into steam mode.
The
Millennium has elegant styling with curved side panels and rounded
corners. It has a very solid construction with quality heavy-gauge
polished stainless steel paneling and 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 heat exchanger (Thermosyphon),
and the solid metal of the group head acts as a heat sink helping to
stabilize the water temperature as you draw your espresso.
It also has a hot water tap that can be used for making tea and other hot
drinks.

Pump - The Mellenium 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.
