Twin Thermoblock Espresso
Machine continued
Should the needle go beyond the target area
then it’s an indication to the coffee maker
that the serve of espresso is over extracted.
To achieve an excellent pour of liquid
espresso a combination of a fine espresso
grind and the correct amount of coffee
packed firmly and evenly in the filter will
help attain this result.
Tip: Achieving a good pour of liquid espresso
is more likely when using freshly ground
coffee beans.
Commercial Size Group Head & Filter Handle
The group head, filter handle and filters are
designed to commercial specifications using
brass and stainless steel components. These
elements help contribute to the preparation
of an espresso serve, as it allows the coffee
maker to pack the necessary amount of
coffee grinds, which then expand firmly and
evenly onto the shower screen.
Control Panel
An easy to use control panel provides the
choice of manual operation or utilising the
programmed espresso pour lengths. The
programmed espresso pour is set to 35mls
per cup while the program function allows
users to personalise and save their own
espresso settings.
Pre-Infusion
Pre-infusion is programmed into the
‘MANUAL’, single espresso and
double
espresso operations. It is a gradual release of
water pressure pre-soaking the coffee cake
before full water pressure is applied. This in
turn delivers greater body and sweetness to
the espresso.
Anti Calc Filter
An Anti Calc water filter reduces impurities
that taint the flavour and odour of the
water, improving the taste and aroma of the
espresso brewed. Additionally, scale build up
is slowed reducing the frequency of cleaning
required.
The Anti Calc water filter fitted inside the
3 litre water reservoir has a 12 month life
for domestic use and a 3 month life for
commercial use.
