An intuitive control panel simplifies the brewing process with user-friendly buttons for quick access to functions such as brewing, steaming, and cleaning. The machine integrates a cup warmer on the top, which preheats cups for serving, ensuring that the espresso retains its full flavor without being compromised by cold serving vessels.

Cleaning and maintenance of the EC860 are hassle-free, with a removable water tank and drip tray that make it easy to keep the machine in top condition. Additionally, the EC860 is designed with a self-priming function that allows for immediate use without complicated setups, making it a convenient choice for busy mornings.
