Know before you buy
Yes, this machine features a plumb-in option, allowing you to connect it directly to a water supply for continuous use without needing to refill the reservoir.
The dual boiler setup allows you to brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously without any loss in temperature or pressure. This significantly speeds up your workflow, especially when making multiple drinks back-to-back.
Yes, the commercial-grade rotary pump is significantly quieter and smoother than the vibration pumps found in entry-level machines. It also provides a more consistent pressure profile during the extraction process.
The E61 group head is a classic design known for its exceptional thermal stability. It circulates hot water from the boiler through the group, ensuring your portafilter stays at the ideal temperature for consistent espresso extraction.
The PID controllers allow you to set and maintain precise temperatures for both the brew and steam boilers. This eliminates temperature fluctuations, ensuring you can dial in your coffee beans with professional-level accuracy.
