Product Description
Equipped with a powerful 1,200-watt coil for heating water in 50 seconds, this
machine brews espresso after first steeping ground coffee for 4 seconds to
extract maximum flavor. Thanks to the filter holder's two spouts, the espresso
will flow into either one or two cups at the push of a button. And the sizes of
the one- and two-cup pours can be adjusted from their factory settings (1-1/2
ounces and 3 ounces) by programming an electronic memory to any desired size up
to 8 ounces. (By pushing another button to begin and end the brewing cycle and
override the memory, the machine will produce up to 10 ounces.) To assure
espresso is topped with thick crema, two etched sieves (for one or two cups) fit
inside the filter holder. A scoop/tamper comes with the machine to fill the
sieves with ground coffee and to damp it down.
For steaming and frothing milk to make cappuccinos, lattes, and hot
chocolates and for delivering hot water for tea, the machine has a wand that
rotates out to fit inside a pitcher or cup. (An instructional video accompanying
the machine makes steaming, frothing, and espresso making easy to learn.)
There's a removable 34-ounce water tank big enough for 20 cups of espresso and a
removable drip tray to handle spillovers. The machine comes with a one-year
warranty for defects. --Fred Brack
