Features
- PID: The PID Controller employs an algorithm to regulate when and for how long the heating element is engaged in the brew boiler. The PID controller allows more efficient and stable regulation of energy. With this level of control, temperature variability is reduced dramatically, making for a more consistent brew temperature. The barista is able to adjust the brew boiler temperature to a precise numerical value using a simple keypad without having to remove machine panels.
- Dual Boilers: Separate boilers optimize espresso brewing and steam production.
- Saturated Groups: Ensure unsurpassed thermal stability, shot after shot.
- Digital Display: Intuitive programming makes it easy to adjust machine parameters.
- Hot Water Economizer: Enables you to fine-tune the tap water temperature for tea.
- Dual PID (coffee and steam): Allows you to electronically control coffee and steam boiler temperature.
- Ruby Flow Restrictors: Ruby flow restrictors resist scale formation and erosion.
- Portafilters & Precision Baskets: Stainless steel portafilters and precision baskets improve your cup quality and consistency.
- Thermal Stability System: As water passes through each element, temperature is further stabilized.
- Tall Cups: Allows you to use the machine with tall, to-go cups (+2.5cm /1in. in height).
- Auto Back-flush Program: Automatic cleaning program.

Softened water is water without calcium and without magnesium, but still has other minerals for espresso extraction. Do not use distilled water, purified water, nor reverse osmosis water as these types of water create oxidation with the metals and cause the same damaging effects as limescale.
