utilises
technology and engineering from commercial
espresso machines to ensure cafe-quality
coffee in an easy to use design. With the
Cafe Latte a growing favourite amongst coffee
lovers the inclusion of the extra cup height
clearance to the design allows the espresso
to pour straight into a latte glass or your
favourite mug. 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 have consulted with experienced
coffee makers and appreciators of coffee
through every stage of design, to ensure the
machine delivers a great shot of espresso
every time. There are many factors that
contribute to the perfect espresso. The words
‘taste’ and ‘aroma’ are consistently used
when describing the perfect cup.
The sweet aroma and taste of the perfect
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 combination of the 15 BAR
pump, dual-wall filter and stabilising baffle
ensures the correct pressure at which the
liquid espresso is released from the spout.
The flow should consist of both liquid and
cream. This cream is commonly known as the
‘crema’. The perfect crema should be thick
and stable and preserve the coffee flavour,
aroma and temperature.
