Summon your inner barista by using the professional filter holder, and steam milk manually using the machine’s wand. But if you find yourself missing that automatic touch, you can make your coffee using ESE pods, use the Automatic Cappuccino function, and program the carafe to froth milk automatically.
This machine also features a stand-by button which serves as an energy-saving measure, as well as a cup warmer for enjoying your coffee at the ideal temperature.
Accommodates grounds or ESE pods
Load the portafilter with freshly ground coffee or, for less grunt work, pop an ESE pod inside. Either option will result in an exceptional espresso with a smooth crema. Using grounds allows you to hone your barista skills, while the pod option means less cleanup.
Self-cleaning milk carafe
The automation of the frothing system extends to the final stage of using your machine: the cleaning. Once you have finished making your coffee, set the milk carafe to self-clean mode and water will flush out any milk residue inside the spout, which is especially useful if you leave long intervals between machine use. If you have leftover milk in the carafe, you can easily store it in your fridge door.
Auto Cappuccino mode
While this machine does have some nifty manual features, it also has an Auto Cappuccino mode for when you want to eliminate the guesswork from making your coffee. Enjoy a cappuccino with a dense, creamy foam that will last until the final sip.
Steam wand
The manual milk frother will allow you to achieve the perfect microfoam, and you can submerge the wand for longer to get a hotter coffee. Invite your friends around and show off your finest latte art (with a quality coffee underneath, of course).
