Twenty bars of pump pressure drive this compact stainless steel espresso maker, pushing water through a 58 mm portafilter that spreads it evenly across the grounds for a steady crema. A 360 degree steam wand froths milk for cappuccino and latte work, while a separate hot water outlet fills an Americano cup. NTC temperature control brings the boiler into a 140 to 176 degrees F window after roughly 30 seconds of preheating, and the top plate doubles as a cup warmer during that time. The 57 oz water tank lifts out for refilling and shows its level through a clear window, the drip tray is dishwasher safe, and a one touch descaling program handles routine upkeep. The housing measures 11.5 inches wide, 6 inches deep and 12 inches tall, weighs 7 lbs and runs on 120 V at 1200 W with a 35.5 inch cord, so it settles onto a narrow counter without crowding the sink.
