Make any rainy day better by brewing crema-rich espresso drinks from the comfort of home with this programmable espresso machine. Designed to satisfy both novice brewers and experienced baristas, the unit offers manual operation as well as an intelligent programmable function that can be personalized with a favorite espresso setting. Its custom-set programming function extracts the perfect volume of coffee at the touch of a button--choose from Auto Shot, Custom Shot, or Manual Shot. Prior to extraction, the machine's 15-bar Italian-made Triple-Prime pump with a thermoblock heating system delivers three bursts of hot water into the filter head. This increased pressure expands the ground coffee or espresso pod and helps eliminate air pockets, which allows the unit to extract more crema for a rich, smooth-tasting coffee. In addition, the unit's electronic temperature-control system accurately maintains the optimal brewing temperature of the water to ensure the best possible extraction. A pressure gauge on the front of the unit measures the pressure that water gets forced through the coffee in the filter holder. The gauge needle pointing above or below the Optimum Zone indicates over- or under-extracted espresso. The gauge needle positioned in the recommended Optimum Zone during pouring indicates espresso will be produced at the ideal pressure and will have a generous layer of golden crema. When it's time to produce steam for frothing milk, the espresso machine increases the water temperature and provides a swivel-action steam wand with a stainless-steel frothing attachment, plus a froth enhancer and a stainless-steel frothing pitcher for barista-style results. After frothing, its Auto-Purge function returns the water temperature to the optimal level for brewing. To save on energy the machine will enter Power Save mode if not used for one hour, and will automatically turn off if not used for three hours. Power Save mode uses 45-percent less power than Stand By mode. Other thoughtful details include a 75-ounce water tank, 4-1/2-inch head elevation to accommodate full-size mugs, a 1-liter slide-out drip tray, a dedicated hot-water wand with a 360-degree ball joint, and an extra-large cup-warming plate. Accessories include one- and two-cup dual-wall stainless-steel filters, an espresso-pod filter, a tamping tool/measuring spoon, a cleaning tool, and a user manual with recipes. Housed in die-cast stainless steel, the espresso machine measures 10 by 10-1/2 by 12-1/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

I do not pretend that an espresso or a junkie lover, but I am dependent on my morning latte habit, and was too expensive so we bought this machine for Christmas. It's great! One of my main criteria, besides a good espresso, it was a foam wall that would really work, and what you do. Texturize the milk beautifully and makes for delicious creamy foam on my latte and cappuccino. We are still working to get the right grind and package together, but I love you the pods in the machine, which is great for decaf! We drink regular coffee in the morning or afternoon, but every once in a while I want a cappuccino in the morning, but it's not worth keeping decaffeinated beans and drain my mill on the caffeine-free replacement so we are decaffeinated pods on hand for those rare evenings crave. Perfectly suited! You have to be willing to experiment to get the right to attack / combo espresso grind or not taste very delicious, but if you have a little patience and trying different combinations that really worth And I like the direction of hot water - heated very quickly and very well for hot tea! Very easy to use, easy to clean and maintain, and completely worth it! Remarkable things: - heats up quickly - announced that the top serves the machine as a warming station for your espresso cups, but it does not get hot enough to hold the cups almost ready (hot hot water with the hot water dispenser instead of) warm - does not require the Using distilled or filtered water (in fact, say that not using the instructions in distilled water) - just use tap water and descaling with vinegar from time to time - the waste is beautiful and great was able 6 strips to make, including rinsing between was not individual, and grease pan completed - water supply is very large and has plenty of water - "programmable" simply means that it is the size of your shot program size and how unique your shot is double, so that when they has been programmed, you need only one key press for an espresso - eliminates the guesswork that results in excess incompatible - pod system only works for simple shooting, everything, what can I say that there are no duplicate pods on the market, and even if you were there, I do not think they fit in the pod system 14 of 14 people found this review helpful A good espresso on this machine with Askari Panther Creek This is an idea of ​​the quality of the coffee machine makes, and not on reliability, long or short term machine because I've only had about a month, I bought coffee at a Starbucks coffee shop and asked the barista to grind coffee beans, an espresso. Decided not to buy a mill (since reviews of the mills shows nothing but problems). The first results were disappointing me. No matter how well it fills my coffee filter two kinds, or the full amount of coffee in it, never reached the pressure on the gauge with the principle of "optimal" range. She decides to ask the barista if they had a finely ground coffee. They said it was his best # "2". With that experience, I fill the filter with coffee, two shots at the top of the filter, and full of routines as hard as I could. Start the machine. The needle began to rise, reached the optimal range, went all the way to optimal range and over before finally stopping when the car stops pouring the coffee! I also noticed that the amount of coffee was paid just under $ 2 shots of coffee Removing the holder of the machine, it was clear that the water filter, which had not pressed through the coffee grinds mixed with the past. The next cup of espresso, which I did, I did not pack the coffee so difficult or so to fill up. I left about 1 / 8 "between the edge of the coffee filter. It 'done. After.
