Solis Crema SL90 Automatic Traditional Pump Driven Espresso Machine Description
Product Description
The SL 90 has an initial heat up time of just over two minutes. It will brew a
single shot of espresso in 15-20 seconds and a double shot in 20-25 seconds;
however, these times can be programmed to your liking. Initial heat up time for
the steaming function is 48 seconds, with an average heat time of 58 seconds for
an 8-ounce cappuccino and a 12-ounce latte takes 96 seconds. These are
impressive performance figures for a machine in this class: If you desire
espresso topped with a thick layer of crema, the SL 90 delivers. Its specially
designed coffee basket ensures the proper espresso extraction regardless of the
grind of the coffee beans or tamping pressure of the coffee grounds, thus
yielding a perfect layer of thick golden crema (foam), which is the hallmark of
perfectly extracted espresso. The SL 90 permits you to use your own pre-ground
coffee or single serving espresso pods. These espresso pods can be purchased
from many online retailers and make the production of espresso quick and easy,
no need for a coffee grinder: The SL 90 is hand built in Switzerland and clearly
shows this quality and attention to detail. It features simple to use controls,
the most powerful water pump in its class at 19 BAR, large 3.2 quart water
reservoir and a thick walled brass boiler. Due to the large boiler, the SL 90
produces an abundance of steam for making large lattes, café mochas, and
cappuccinos: We recommend either the Solis Maestro or Solis Maestro Plus coffee
grinders with the SL 90 for a complete coffee bar package in your home or
office: Detailed Product Features . Automatic Brewing Control . The SL 90
automatic espresso machine uses a microprocessor controlled programmable, water
flow meter. The microprocessor automatically measures the water that flows
through the coffee grounds. When the brew button is pushed, the pump will infuse

preferences: Choose from 12 preset brewing volumes |
