Colombina Espresso Machines
- Unlike similar units in the high-end, E61 grouphead dual purpose
single boiler category, this is the only model known to have
an automatic water refill of the internal boiler. On other
similar machines, the operator must always run water through the
steam wand to insure that the internal boiler is filled - so the
heating element does not damage due to lack of water. On the Fiorenzato
Colombina, the auto water refill circuit monitors the water level
in the boiler and refills it as necessary. If the water reservoir
empties, the machine will shut the power to the heating element.
Therefore, this machine can be left on ALL day (of course, a surge
suppressor should always accompany this machine's outlet)!
- All stainless steel body throughout makes this a prize for many
homes that will have guests gleen over! Polished front, side and
rear!
- Full sized commercial handles (single spout and dual spout included)
are used on the thermically-balanced (a.k.a. Faema E61) grouphead
for maximized temperature stability
- Three switches on front panel: power (most right), steam (center
in black), and hot water (left in black)
- Large removable drip tray for easy disposal and cleaning
- Small rubber feet to maintain stability throughout
- Single gauge on front panel indicates pump pressure during espresso
extraction (only)
- Ergonomically designed steam knob have desired star shape format
- Easy-to-use lever on grouphead allows control over pre-infusion
- down position is off, and up and forward position engages the
pump to push water through the grouphead
- Passive cup warmer tray on top
- Removable cover for refilling water reservoir (3 liters) - cups
can still be placed on cup warmer as separate cover is on top
of tank
- Water reservoir is easily removable for cleaning or refilling
- recommended to clean water reservoir minimum every two weeks
with soap and water, then rinse
- Spring-activated low water shut-off switch protects the machine
when the water reservoir is near empty
- FEATURE not found on similar machines! Multi-directional
wand used for both hot water and steam
- Three-way manual grouphead solenoid valve allows the quick removal
of the portafilter handle once the espresso extraction is terminated
(lever in down position completely)
- Dual purpose, single boiler machine - boiler has two modes (coffee
or steam mode). In coffee mode, you can extract espresso through
the grouphead or get hot water from the wand for tea, hot chocolate,
etc. In steam mode, you can continuously steam/froth your milk
as the boiler automatically refills. this allows you to steam
until the water reservoir empties. To go from steam mode to hot
water/coffee temperature mode, you do need to run hot water through
the steam wand to bring the temperature back down. We do not recommend
doing this through the grouphead as steam will exit the grouphead
and sputter.
- Copper boiler is 0.8 liters large
- High-wattage 1000 watt heating element for continuous steaming
power
- Grouphead is designed for ground coffee only - we can add a
pod adapter for $56, but you are wasting your money if you are
using this machine for pods!
- Three thermostats for temperature control: coffee, steam, and
safety
- Powerful 41 watt ULKA vibration pump
- Accessories: One cup filter basket, two cup filter basket, one
portafilter handle with double spout, one portafilter with single
spout, one measuring scoop, and one plastic tamper
- Body Finish: Stainless Steel
- Power: 110 volts only 60 Hz 1500 watts (wattage to be confirmed)

- Measurements: 8 7/8" W x 14.5" H x 16" D - add
1/2" to width for steam valve angled to left side and add
4" to width for operating steam wand on left side
The Fiorenzato logo on the back wall of the machine
enhances the beauty that this espresso machine provides!
The included pressure gauge on the front panel indicate
the brew pressure only! You want to achieve between 8 and 9 bar
for your extraction. Please remember the bar pressure shown is the
result of your grind fineness, theamount of coffee you place in
your basket, and the tamp pressure. you will need to vary these
factors to achieve the 8-9 bar brew pressure.
