The Solis SL70 stands out as a stellar performer in the crowded world of home espresso machines. The Solis SL70 (and big brother SL90) is designed for the espresso purist. What is an espresso purist" Simply put, it is a person who wants a machine that can heat the water at the perfect temperatures, apply enough pressure on the water to force it through the grinds in the portafilter, has a portafilter that can handle the pressure well and maintain the heat of the shot, and lets the user control all the other variables.
