Features of your Sunbeam Artista
15 Bar Pump
Crema System
The machine is fitted with an Italian designed
and manufactured 15 BAR pump which
generates the pressure required to deliver a
complete extraction of oils, coffee solids and
aroma.
Thermoblock Heating System
The thermoblock heating system heats the
water ensuring the precise temperature is
achieved for each function. Additionally, the
one-piece construction and stainless steel
tubing of the thermoblock effectively slows
scale build up and reduces the frequency of
cleaning required.
Pre-Infusion
Progressive pre-infusion is programmed
into the espresso operation. It is a gradual
increase of water pressure pre-soaking the
coffee cake before full water pressure is
applied. This in turn delivers greater body
and sweetness to the espresso.
6
The specially designed crema system consists
of a dual-floor filter creating additional back
pressure and a stabilising baffle that helps
retain temperature and produces a steady
pour of espresso. The dual-floor filter baskets
are designed to slow the flow of liquid
espresso creating a subtle aeration to ensure
a golden crema.
Push Button Control Panel
An easy to use control panel enables manual
operation of espresso coffee as well as steam
and hot water functions. The user is also able
to personalise and save their own settings for
coffee temperature, steam temperature and
steam flow.
