Models Europiccola and Professional represent the best expression in terms of technology and valuable materials. Pure-gold-plated, they are a precious piece of furniture for creamy espresso coffees and foamy cappuccinos. The filter holder is equipped with a ring useful to avoid the filter’s fall during the ejection of the coffee grounds. All lever models are equipped with 1 cup filter which can be used both with milled coffee and standard pods ESE. By lifting the lever one raises a piston inside the group, allowing water under pressure to infuse the coffee in the filter holder. The lever is then lowered, causing the piston to force the water through the coffee into the cup. The user therefore can vary the speed at which the water passes through the coffee, ensuring it is made exactly according to his own requirements. Steam jet: it enables to obtain a frothy, warm milk, as well as tea or any other hot drink; interchangeable with the device“Cappuccino Automatic”. The “Cappuccino Automatic”, on the opening of a valve, automatically and easily sucks the milk directly into the cup.
