exceptional durability and brew temperature stability.
Brewing boiler is bolted directly to group head, so brew
group heats quickly and thoroughly.

removable for cleaning.

steel drip plate.

Filter holder
Commercial-size filter holder features chrome-plated brass
construction and an easy-to-grip flared handle. Attaches to the
brew head with a firm twist to the right.
Filter Baskets
Stainless steel filter baskets snap into filter holder. Use the small
capacity basket for a single cup (30 ml) of espresso, and the
large capacity basket for two cups (60 ml). The small basket also
accommodates paper coffee pods.
Frothing Jug
The 255 ml capacity stainless steel jug is invaluable
for frothing.
Tamper
Evenly tamps coffee into the filter basket.
Coffee Scoop and Shower-Screen Brush
Use one level scoop of coffee for each cup (30 ml) of espresso.
The shower-screen brush will help keep the brew head and
shower screen free of grounds.
Not Shown:
Dual Boilers
Separate boilers eliminate the wait single-boiler machines
require when switching between frothing and brewing. Boiler
heating elements never touch water: they are located on the
outside of the boiler for superb brew temperature consistency
and burnout-resistance. Quick heating boilers reach operating
temperatures in at least 6 minutes.
Drip-Free System with 3-Way Solenoid Valve
A 3-way solenoid valve virtually eliminates drips by instantly
reducing pressure in the brew group when the pump is
switched off. The filter holder can be removed immediately after
brewing without a messy spray of coffee grounds.
15 Bar Pump
Self-priming water pump comfortably supplies the 9 bars of
pressure that perfect espresso demands.
