Thermoblock Fast Heating System
The thermoblock ensures quick heat up,
and a precise water temperature for the
best coffee extraction, and milk texturing.
The thermoblock is fitted with a PID
controller which continually monitors the
water temperature to ensure water is
always delivered to the coffee grinds at the
precise temperature needed.
An espresso is made with hot rather than
boiling water. The thermoblock heats the
water so that the espresso extracts at
92°C (just below boiling point) for optimum
extraction of oils from the coffee grinds.
Temperatures above this will burn the
grinds resulting in a bitter taste.
15 BAR Italian Pump
The thermoblock works in conjunction
with the pump to deliver the correct water
temperature at the correct pressure for
complete extraction of oils, coffee solids
and aroma.
The 15 BAR pump is fitted with a pressure
relief system, to limit the pressure to 15
bar (for protection from over-pressure).
After extraction, when the DIAL is
returned to the vertical READY position,
any remaining pressure will be released
(purged) into the Drip Tray.
Pre-Infusion
Small amounts of water are released
onto the tamped coffee grinds prior to the
steady flow of water, for a richer flavoured
espresso.
Italian Crema System
Dual Wall Filter Baskets create additional
back pressure creating a subtle aeration
for a great espresso extraction and steady
pour. They ensure a rich velvety espresso
with a signature layer of golden crema.
Dual Wall Filter Baskets are designed
for use with pre-ground grinds, however
they can also be used with freshly ground
grinds.
Auto Shot Volumetric Control
Auto Shot is the easiest way to create a
great espresso. Just select ONE or TWO
CUP on the DIAL, and it pours just the
right amount, then automatically stops.
Café 58mm Group Head & Handle
The Group Head and the Group Handle
are commercial sized, 58mm, just like your
local café.
The larger 58mm Group Handle holds
more coffee grinds, resulting in a true café
tasting coffee. The wider size ensures the
grinds are more evenly spread and easier
to fill, for improved flavour extraction.
The larger 58mm Filter Baskets allow
a more consistent grind compaction,
resulting in a better tasting coffee, and an
easier to empty spent coffee cake.
