Suitable for

• Home baristas seeking professional-grade espresso
• Preparation of authentic cafe-style coffee
• Users who appreciate modern industrial design
• Kitchens with limited counter space

When it may not be suitable

This machine may not be the best choice for users who prefer the convenience of fully automatic bean-to-cup systems or capsule machines, as it requires manual operation and the use of ground coffee. Additionally, those looking for a high-volume commercial machine for a busy cafe environment might find the 1.8-liter capacity and domestic-focused features insufficient for their needs.

Key specifications

• Water tank capacity: 1.8 L
• Power consumption: 1200 W
• Boiler pressure: Adjustable from 0.9 to 1.2 bar
• Coffee input: Ground coffee
• Weight: 22 kg
• Finish: Stainless steel and white
• Energy saving: Programmable stand-by mode

How to use

To operate the machine, ensure the water tank is filled and the unit is powered on. Once the machine has reached the appropriate temperature, place your ground coffee into the portafilter and lock it into the brewing group. Initiate the extraction process to brew your espresso directly into your cup. You can adjust the boiler pressure via the electronic interface to suit your specific coffee blend and taste preferences.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you have sufficient counter space for the 22 kg unit
• Confirm your preference for manual espresso preparation
• Check if the aesthetic matches your kitchen interior
• Consider the need for a separate coffee grinder for fresh grounds

Usage recommendations: To maintain the longevity and performance of your machine, it is recommended to use filtered water to prevent scale buildup. Regularly clean the brewing group and portafilter after each use, and utilize the energy-saving stand-by function when the machine is not in use for extended periods.
