Know before you buy
Yes. Because the Giotto FAST V uses a 1.8-liter heat exchange boiler, you can pull shots and steam milk simultaneously without waiting for the machine to switch modes.
The FAST V is designed for efficiency and reaches a ready-to-brew state in approximately 15 minutes, which is significantly faster than many traditional heat exchange machines.
The PID allows you to precisely adjust and maintain your brewing temperature. This is essential for dialing in different coffee roasts, as slight temperature changes can significantly impact the flavor profile of your espresso.
No, the Giotto FAST V does not feature a dedicated pre-infusion setting. It is designed for a straightforward, semi-automatic brewing experience.
The built-in shot timer tracks your extraction time in real-time, allowing you to monitor consistency across every shot without needing an external scale or timer.
The machine stands 15 inches tall, so you should measure your clearance under upper cabinets. Its striking, asymmetric design makes it a focal point, so it is best suited for a space where you want to showcase the machine.
