espresso, with a delicious layer of natural crema on the surface, we recommend
using the "Espresso Tray", which has been specically designed for and integrated
into the machine. This tray makes it possible to use traditional espresso cups,
ensuring the perfect height from the spout for compact, homogeneous crema and
dispensation without messy splashes.
