Easy set up and use is vital when buying an espresso machine since it can seem so complex and daunting. The programmable features of this product combat the complexity of it all for people new to the coffee world. The sieve-holder is integrated within the conical grinder, which is also programmable, alongside the 11 grinding degree settings and coffee powder quantity. This ensures minimal effort needed for coffee shop quality coffee. Lastly, the water is programmable based on the cup you are intending to use for your speciality coffee, the capabilities stretching from Espresso, Latte Macchiato, Cappuccino and Cafe Americano to Cafe Crema.
Sometimes espresso machines feel unnecessarily large and bulky, however this machine is sleek, compact and designed to take up as little space as possible on your countertops. The brushed stainless steel housing creates a sturdy exterior but gives a commercial coffee shop vibe. The design goes beyond the appearance and into practicality, such as its 6-cup heated warming plate. Warming plates are used within the coffee-making world to enhance the flavour of your coffee - the outcome of using a cold coffee cup when pouring hot espresso can destabilise the temperature, thus creating a bitter after-taste. Not only does this machine warm up coffee cups but it also has a thermo-block heating system which will warm up your machine, ready for use in just 1.5 minutes. The removable 2-litre water tank allows you to create up to 30 shots of espresso. Holding 220g of fresh coffee beans is the bean container on top of the machine which even has fill line measurements.
If you are new to the coffee world, this pump may not mean much to you. An ULKA Espresso Pump is added to espresso machines to apply pressure at the brewing stage of your coffee to extract the cream (foam) from the coffee powder. This is what creates the rich, solid foam on top of your coffee in a coffee shop. In particular, this ULKA pump is 15 bar which has the maximum amount of pressure an espresso pump can produce, ensuring a quick but full extraction of your coffee. To help ensure you do not use too much pressure, a gauge has been added to control this function on the side of the machine.
Apart from the amazing benefits this espresso machine holds, there are also many generous accessories included to ensure you are ready to hit the ground running as soon as your machine arrives. Within your box you will receive a double-walled insert for 1 and 2 cups, a filter insert for ESE pods, a milk frothing can, a measuring spoon with an espresso tamper, a cleaning tool and a water filter!
