of espresso. The shower-screen brush will help keep
the brew head and shower screen free of grounds.
Not Shown:
Dual Boilers
Separate boilers eliminate the wait single-boiler machines require
when switching between frothing and brewing. Boiler heating
elements never touch water: they are located on the outside of
the boiler for superb brew temperature consistency and burnout-
resistance. Quick heating boilers reach operating temperatures in
less than 6 minutes.
Drip-Free System with 3-Way Solenoid Valve
A 3-way solenoid valve virtually eliminates drips by instantly
reducing pressure in the brew group when the pump is switched
off. The portafilter can be removed immediately after brewing
without a messy spray of coffee grounds.
15 Bar Pump
Self-priming water pump comfortably supplies the 9 bars
(130 psi) of pressure that perfect espresso demands.
