Two boilers run this machine: a 1.8 L steam boiler and a 0.6 L coffee boiler. The temperature of each boiler can be controlled with the accompanying PID display on the front of the machine, offering a high degree of control and confidence you won’t find in smaller machines.
The dual boilers enable you to steam milk and pull shots simultaneously without one ever affecting the other, a much better setup for serious espresso stations. And since you can either use the included 2.9 L water tank or plumb the machine directly into your water line, you won’t be needing a water refill anytime soon.
Making espresso feels smooth and intuitive, thanks to the user-friendly lever on the side of the group. The E61 group continuously has hot water flowing through it, offering a high degree of temperature stability. It also is designed to have a brief, built-in pre-infusion, enhancing the flavour and balance of each shot.
Knowing the exact temperature of each boiler, along with the boiler and pump pressure gauges, ensures you never accidentally pull a bad shot because you weren’t aware of what was going on inside the machine.
When you’re ready to steam milk, both no-burn wands are cool to the touch, except for the nozzles, allowing easy access and control. The cup warmer on top of the machine keep your mugs nice and warm, so you never have to worry about accidentally pulling a great shot into a cold cup.
And just in case, the auto-off function turns the machine off if the boiler starts to run dangerously low on water to keep your machine free from harm.
