Should the needle go beyond the target area then it’s an indication to the coffee maker that the serve of espresso is over extracted.

To achieve an excellent pour of liquid espresso a combination of a fine espresso grind and the correct amount of coffee packed firmly and evenly in the filter will help attain this result.

Tip: Achieving a good pour of liquid espresso is more likely when using freshly ground coffee beans.

Commercial Size Group Head & Filter Handle

The group head, filter handle and filters are designed to commercial specifications using brass and stainless steel components. These elements help contribute to the preparation of an espresso serve, as it allows the coffee maker to pack the necessary amount of coffee grinds, which then expand firmly and evenly onto the shower screen.

Control Panel

An easy to use control panel provides the choice of manual operation or utilising the programmed espresso pour lengths. The programmed espresso pour is set to 35mls per cup while the program function allows users to personalise and save their own espresso settings.

Pre-Infusion

Pre-infusion is programmed into the

‘MANUAL’, single espresso and double espresso operations. It is a gradual release of water pressure pre-soaking the coffee cake before full water pressure is applied. This in turn delivers greater body and sweetness to the espresso.

Anti Calc Filter

An Anti Calc water filter reduces impurities that taint the flavour and odour of the water, improving the taste and aroma of the espresso brewed. Additionally, scale build up is slowed reducing the frequency of cleaning required.

The Anti Calc water filter fitted inside the

3 litre water reservoir has a 12 month life for domestic use and a 3 month life for commercial use.
