Why Choose This 12-Cup Carafe and Single Serve Espresso Machine?

Refined Espresso Brewing

• Optimal Pressure for Perfect Espresso: Our machine ensures proper brewing pressure with the right grind size, coffee amount, and tamping. Too coarse a grind, too little coffee, or insufficient tamping can lead to inadequate pressure for a proper brew. Our machine adjusts to these variables, ensuring every cup is delicious.
