About espresso coffee

Sunbeam’s extensive experience in designing quality, long-lasting appliances has enabled us to develop a range of pump espresso machines that are as beautiful as they are functional. As well as incorporating the learnings from commercial machines to ensure café quality coffee, ease-of-use was an important dynamic in the design of the Sunbeam Intuitive Digital.

The Sunbeam Intuitive Digital is automatic, completely removing any guesswork from making espresso coffee. At the push of a button the machine will grind the coffee beans, place the correct dose of coffee grinds into the filter, tamp it and pump the precise amount of water needed to produce a shot of espresso. As a result, each time you make an espresso with the Sunbeam Intuitive Digital you are assured a consistent taste every time.

As coffee continues to be an integral element of Australian culture, the demand for the perfect cup is ever increasing. A growing favourite for coffee lovers in Australia, at any time of the day is the Caffe Latte. To accommodate these style of drinks, the height of the espresso pour spouts are adjustable. Ideal for all styles of cups – bring the spouts down for espresso cups and for those that prefer a Caffe Latte or a Long Black raise the pour spouts for taller cups.

Drinking authentic café quality coffee at home is guaranteed with a Sunbeam espresso machine. The simple to use design of the machine allows you to enjoy the sweet aroma and taste of the perfect shot of espresso with its signature golden crema every time.

What makes a good coffee?

Sunbeam has consulted with experienced coffee makers and appreciators of coffee through every stage of design, to ensure the machine delivers a great espresso coffee every time. There are many factors that contribute to the perfect coffee. The words’ ‘taste’ and ‘aroma’ are consistently used when describing the perfect cup.

The sweet aroma and taste of the perfect espresso coffee is largely due to the correct combination of temperature and pressure during the brewing process. The ‘thermoblock’ heating system ensures the water is at the correct temperature, so that the full coffee flavour is extracted. Secondly, the Italian made 15 BAR pump ensures the correct pressure at which the liquid espresso is released from the pour spouts. The pour should be steady and consist of both liquid and cream. This cream is known as the ‘crema’. The perfect ‘crema’ should be a golden colour and be thick and stable, preserving the coffee flavour, aroma and temperature.

We hope you have many enjoyable coffee experiences with the Sunbeam Intuitive Digital.
