Espresso machine for preparing Café Latte, Flat White, Latte Macchiato, milk coffee, and milk foam. Capacity: water tank 1.1 liters. Suitable for E.S.E. pods and ground coffee. Features: cup warmer on top, descaling alarm, thermoblock heating system for consistently perfect temperature. The "Double Drip" drip tray offers a two-level cup holder for glasses and tall cups up to 13 cm, ideal for long coffee and milk drinks. The portafilter holder allows for a higher coffee dosage (up to 16 g) for a better coffee experience and is also available for E.S.E. pods. The powerful milk frothing nozzle uses steam for particularly easy preparation of airy milk foam, perfect for cappuccino, latte macchiato, or other coffee specialties. The "open" coffee pod system has clearly defined requirements. E.S.E. pods are designed for use with portafilter machines and consist of two layers of cellulose, between which a portion of about 7 g of coffee grounds is embedded. The coffee pads made of filter paper are usually fully compostable. To use E.S.E. pods, you need an espresso machine compatible with the E.S.E. standard. The technical requirements of each compatible machine, such as temperature and pressure of the water used, are carefully checked. The E.S.E. system guarantees you easy and quick use with minimal, environmentally friendly waste and low cleaning effort. Additionally, it ensures consistently high coffee quality and the freedom to choose between different brands of compatible machines and pods.
