With 15-bars of pump pressure, this super-automatic espresso machine brews coffeehouse-quality espressos, lattes, and cappuccinos with minimal effort, in just a few minutes. Its innovative brewing system makes it easy to create an infinite variety of coffee drinks from just one machine. Simply turning the dial either right or left changes the strength and consistency of coffee by increasing or decreasing the water pressure moving through the grounds. The unit's OptiDose system has an adjustable 7- to 10-1/2-gram doser, which regulates the amount of beans to grind per serving, while its aroma system injects hot water into ground coffee to maximize flavor extraction. The unit will automatically grind the right amount of coffee, tamp, brew, and dispense the used grounds into an internal dregdrawer, all at the touch of a button. In addition, the unit's user-friendly interface allows for personal programming of coffee size, strength, and temperature. The machine also comes equipped with an adjustable built-in ceramic disc grinder, which delivers a more even grind, allowing for perfect dosing and blending, plus it operates considerably quieter than stainless-steel grinders.
For added convenience, the espresso machine provides a stainless-steel pannarello attachment for steaming milk or dispensing hot water, and its rapid-steam technology means no waiting between frothing milk and brewing espresso. Other highlights include an automatic cup-warming surface that holds up to six espresso cups, a removable 57-ounce water tank, a manual drip tray that slides up and down to fit any sized cup, and sliding wheels on the base of the machine for convenient rotation. Accessories include a grinder adjustment key, an Aqua Prima water filter, descaling solution, a cleaning brush, a quick-start guide, and an instruction manual. The unit's easy-to-clean system features a patented removable brew group, which allows the machine to tamp, brew, and dispense the coffee in one cycle. The brew group can be removed at the push of a button for rinsing and chemical-free cleaning. Housed in a modern two-tone silver and titanium exterior design, the 1500-watt espresso machine measures 16 by 13 by 14-1/2 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.
