Eta Storio Manual Espresso Machine, 1350W, 0.75L, Red

The Eta Storio manual espresso machine is a compact and stylish appliance designed for coffee enthusiasts who appreciate the traditional process of brewing. With a powerful 1350 W heating system and a pump pressure of up to 20 bar, this machine ensures professional-quality extraction from ground coffee. Its slim 14.5 cm width makes it an ideal addition to any kitchen, regardless of size, while the elegant red finish adds a touch of retro charm to your countertop.

Advantages

This espresso machine offers exceptional control over your coffee preparation, allowing you to customize the volume for one or two cups to suit your preference. The high-quality Thermoblock heating system ensures the water reaches the optimal temperature quickly, while the integrated water system cooling function allows for seamless transitions between brewing coffee and using the steam wand. The inclusion of a steam wand enables you to create rich milk froth for cappuccinos and lattes, and the cup-warming plate ensures your beverage stays at the perfect temperature for longer. Safety is prioritized through built-in overpressure and thermal fuses, along with an automatic shut-off feature that promotes energy efficiency.

Suitable for

• Preparing traditional espresso from ground coffee
• Creating milk-based coffee drinks like cappuccinos and lattes
• Home kitchens with limited counter space
• Users who prefer manual control over their coffee brewing process

This machine may not be suitable for those who prefer the convenience of automatic capsule-based systems or integrated bean-to-cup grinders, as it requires manual tamping and the use of pre-ground coffee. It is also not designed for high-volume commercial use.

Key specifications

• Power input: 1350 W
• Pump pressure: Max 20 bar
• Water tank capacity: 0.75 L

To use the Eta Storio, fill the removable water tank with fresh water and ensure the machine is powered on. Place your desired amount of ground coffee into the appropriate stainless steel filter basket, tamp it down firmly using the included measuring spoon, and lock the portafilter into the group head. Select your cup size setting and start the brewing process. If you wish to prepare a milk-based drink, use the steam wand to froth your milk after the coffee has been extracted. Always ensure the drip tray is clean and the water level is sufficient before starting.

What to consider before purchase

• Requires manual tamping of ground coffee
• Compatible only with ground coffee, not coffee beans or pods
• Compact 0.75 L tank requires more frequent refilling for heavy users
• Manual operation requires a brief learning curve for optimal results

For the best results, we recommend pre-heating your cups on the warming plate and ensuring the portafilter is properly locked before brewing. Regularly clean the steam wand immediately after use to prevent milk residue buildup and maintain optimal performance.
