Features of your Sunbeam Café Espresso™

15 Bar Pump

Crema System

Italian designed and manufactured, the machine is fitted with a 15 BAR pump delivering the pressure required for a complete extraction of oils, coffee solids and aroma.

Thermoblock Heating System

Italian designed the cream system consists of a dual-floor filter creating additional back pressure and stabilising baffle that helps retain temperature and produces a steady pour of espresso.

The thermoblock heating system heats the water ensuring the precise temperature is achieved for each function. Additionally, the thermoblock is coated with non-stick material to slow scale build up and reduce the frequency of cleaning required.
