This is the world's most advanced espresso maker. Manufactured in Mantua, Italy, it produces 15 bars of pressure, which is 15 times greater than atmospheric pressure and double the amount found in lesser espresso makers, creating maximum coffee flavor and topping every espresso with a perfect crema, the caramel-colored signature of the finest Italian espresso. Unlike conventional espresso machines that grind beans and store them in a chamber where they oxidize and lose flavor before they enter the brewing system, this machine uses a direct grind-to-brew system that immediately brews the beans you grind into the espresso you are about to drink, creating the freshest possible flavor. The espresso maker is programmable, ensuring that coffee will be ready when you wake up, and allows you to adjust start time and automatic shut off. A professional-quality burr grinder holds seven ounces of beans and enables you to calibrate the fineness of each grind, while two separate dials alter coffee strength and brewed amounts to satisfy different tastes, and a height-adjustable spout allows you to brew into espresso cups or 12-oz mugs. A lidded, detachable 25-oz. container froths or steams milk with the touch of a button, topping up to six cappuccinos or lattes, and stores in your refrigerator. The warming plate on top of the machine preheats two cups and the dual coffee spouts allow you to brew two separate espressos at once or one large American coffee. The 60-oz. water tank has a water level indicator and an automatic cleaning function keeps the machine operating at optimal levels. 14" H x 11" W x 15" D. (26 1/4 lbs.)
