Coffee perfection at home ! The technical product description follows but as a very happy owner of this machine - here's the short version: turn it on, drop in your preferred choice of coffee capsule, push a button - viola - a perfect cup of coffee or espresso in seconds. Every time you open the beautiful wood toned coffee display box and select your coffee for the day, you will feel a little pampered.

Includes a tasting box with 36 coffee capsules - 12 varieties of coffee.

Developed with a unique extraction system specially designed for coffee-filled capsules, this 1200-watt single-serve automatic espresso machine deploys technology essential for preparing perfect espresso. A simple system perforates the hermetically sealed capsule and soaks all the ground coffee to optimally filter the coffee, while the unit's high-pressure 19-bar pump extracts all the aromas and gives body to the espresso ensuring a smooth crema--the delicious creamy layer on top. In addition, the machine's ThermoBlock heating system heats water to 187 degrees and 196 degrees during extraction and empties the remaining water after each use so that the water is fresh for each preparation. Used capsules eject semi-automatically into the used-capsule collection container upon lifting the handle. Other highlights include programmable and automatic control of the amount of coffee in the cup, a backlit control button, electronic temperature regulation, and a removable 34-ounce water container. The espresso machine only uses capsules, not any other ground espresso, but a range of 12 premium coffee blends is available, including decaffeinated. Compactly designed in ABS housing, the strikingly modern espresso machine measures 10 by 6-1/2 by 11-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
