Manual Cappuccino System: it combines steam, air and milk, producing a rich, creamy froth for great cappuccinos. Personalizing coffee as often as you want has never been easier. Choose between short and long espresso, adjust the aroma intensity, and enjoy it piping hot, medium or low temperature. The machine works with either coffee beans or ground coffee, and can prepare two cups of coffee with a single brewing cycle. The removable brewing unit features variable capacity from 6 to 14 g, while the coffee grinder offers 13 adjustable settings for your preferred strength. Customize every aspect: adjust coffee quantity, water quantity, and use the adjustable coffee dispenser for cups ranging from 86 to 142 mm in height. The pre-brewing cycle ensures optimal extraction, and the Thermoblock maintains ideal, constant espresso temperature. Convenient features include automatic shut-off, energy saving and stand-by functions, plus a coffee-grounds container capacity indicator showing 14 cups per 72 hours. The removable 1.8 l water reservoir includes an empty water indicator, while rinse and decalcification auto-programmes keep your machine in perfect condition. Programmable water hardness settings adapt to your local water quality. The dishwasher-safe plastic drip tray and anti-scratch cup holder make cleanup effortless. Simply press a button to prepare any coffee style—rotate the knob to adjust aroma intensity and enjoy café-quality beverages at home.
