Thermoblock Fast Heating System
The thermoblock ensures quick heat up, 
and a precise water temperature for the 
best coffee extraction, and milk texturing.
The thermoblock is fitted with a 
PID controller which continually monitors 
the water temperature to ensure water is 
always delivered to the coffee grinds at the 
precise temperature needed.  
An espresso is made with hot rather than 
boiling water. The thermoblock heats the 
water so that the 
espresso extracts at 92°C
(just below boiling point) for optimum 
extraction of oils from the coffee grinds. 
Temperatures above this will burn the 
grinds resulting in a bitter taste.
15 BAR Italian Pump
The thermoblock works in conjunction 
with the pump to deliver the correct water 
temperature at the correct pressure for 
complete extraction of oils, coffee solids 
and aroma. 
The 15 BAR pump is fitted with a pressure 
relief system, to limit the pressure to 15 
bar (for protection from over-pressure). 
After extraction, when the DIAL is 
returned to the vertical READY position, 
any remaining pressure will be released 
(purged) into the Drip Tray.
Pre-Infusion
Small amounts of water are released onto 
the tamped coffee grinds prior to the steady 
flow of water, for a richer flavoured espresso.
Italian Crema System
Dual Wall Filter Baskets create additional 
back pressure creating a subtle aeration 
for a great espresso extraction and steady 
pour. They ensure a rich velvety espresso 
with a signature layer of golden crema. 
Dual Wall Filter Baskets are designed for 
use with pre-ground grinds, however they 
can also be used with freshly ground grinds.
Auto Shot Volumetric Control
Auto Shot is the easiest way to create a 
great espresso. Just select ONE or TWO 
CUP on the DIAL, and it pours just the right 
amount, then automatically stops.
Café 58mm Group Head & Handle
The Group Head and the Group Handle are 
commercial sized, 58mm, just like your 
local café. 
The larger 58mm Group Handle holds 
more coffee grinds, resulting in a true café 
tasting coffee. The wider size ensures the 
grinds are more evenly spread and easier 
to fill, for improved flavour extraction.
The larger 58mm Filter Baskets allow 
a more consistent grind compaction, 
resulting in a better tasting coffee, and an 
easier to empty spent coffee cake.
