Frequently asked questions
What type of pump does the machine use?
The 15-bar pump provides the optimal pressure needed to pull an authentic, full-bodied espresso shot.
When pulling a shot, the pump has a low pressure Pre-Infusion which slowly and steadily adds water to the coffee, allowing the grounds to expand before carrying out high-pressure extraction.
The correct pressure is the key to creating exceptional shots of espresso. Fifteen bars of pressure in residential machines helps to create that much-desired crema, maintains a consistent temperature for every shot, and allows you to use the espresso machine continuously without needing to cool it down between shots.
