Overview
A narrow 5.5 inch case houses this espresso machine's 20 bar pump, milk-frothing steam wand and a front-mounted pressure gauge for reading each shot.
At 5.5 inches wide, the case width is the machine's main differentiator from full-size espresso machines, aimed at counters too small for a bulkier unit. The pressure gauge gives a real-time reading during extraction rather than a fixed indicator light, and a pre-infusion step is built in to wet the grounds evenly before full pressure hits. A 40 ounce tank and 25 minute auto shut-off round out the everyday details.
- 20 bar Italian pump
- 1350W boiler, about 30 second preheat
- Front pressure gauge with pre-infusion
- 40oz tank, 25 minute auto shut-off
Who it's for
Home espresso beginners with limited counter space who want a milk-frothing steam wand without a large machine. Less suited to anyone wanting programmable shot volumes or a built-in grinder.
Pros and cons
- 20 bar pump with a real-time pressure gauge
- 5.5 inch width fits small counters
- Steam wand for milk-based drinks
- About 30 second preheat time
- Manual operation, no programmable shot presets
- No grinder included
Performance notes
A 20 bar Italian pump forces water through the grounds under pressure once the 1350 watt boiler reaches temperature, which the listing says takes about 30 seconds. The pressure gauge tracks that process in real time so you can judge extraction rather than guess, and pre-infusion wets the grounds before full pressure builds for a more even pull. The steam wand runs off the same boiler for milk frothing after or between shots.
