1.1 Your Automatic Espresseria Premium
Espresso or lungo, ristretto or cappuccino, your automatic espresso/coffee
maker has been designed to allow you to taste the same coffee at home as in
a coffee bar at any time of the day. With its Thermoblock System, 15 bar
pump and using only freshly ground coffee, your Automatic Espresseria Pre-
mium will allow you to make a full flavoured drink, topped with a deliciously
thick, golden froth, a product that comes from the natural oil of the coffee
beans. Espresso coffee has a richer aroma than a normal, filter coffee. In spite
of its stronger taste, stronger initially and longer lasting, espresso coffee in
fact contains less caffeine than filter coffee (approximately 20 mg less per
cup). This is due to the shorter percolation.
With its simplicity of use, the visibility of its tank/holder and its automatic clea-
ning and descaling programmes, your Automatic Espresseria Premium will
prove very easy to use.
