The One Step Bean Grinding Espresso.
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 lattés, 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.)
