Overview
A semi-automatic espresso machine with a solid steel housing built in Italy, a commercial style 58mm stainless steel portafilter and a three way solenoid valve.
The 58mm portafilter matches the size used on many commercial machines, which opens up compatibility with a wider range of aftermarket baskets and tampers than the smaller portafilters on many home machines. It runs at 9 bars of pump pressure for extraction and includes a steam wand for milk drinks.
- 9 bar pump pressure
- 58mm stainless steel portafilter
- Three way solenoid valve
- Made in Italy, steel housing
Who it's for
Espresso drinkers moving up from a pod or drip machine who want manual control over shots and steaming, and who would value the commercial size portafilter if they plan to try different baskets down the line.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Commercial size 58mm portafilter
- Solid steel housing built in Italy
- Three way solenoid valve for clean puck release
- Steam wand included for milk drinks
- Manual, semi-automatic operation has a learning curve
- Included accessories not detailed in the listing
Performance notes
The three way solenoid valve releases pressure from the group head after each shot, which keeps the used puck from staying pressurized and helps it release cleanly from the portafilter. Nine bars of pump pressure is the standard target for espresso extraction, and the steam wand is described as commercial grade for milk texturing.
