The PID system stabilizes the temperature, eliminating the fluctuations that can compromise shot quality.

Its powerful heating system allows for quick heat-up times and efficient operation, so you can brew and steam with minimal wait time.
- Professional-Grade Portafilter: The machine comes with a 58 mm professional-grade portafilter, which ensures optimal extraction of espresso by providing even distribution of water and pressure across the coffee grounds. The solid brass and stainless steel construction ensures durability, while the wood handle offers a comfortable and secure grip.

These materials resist corrosion and maintain the integrity of the water and coffee, preventing any unwanted flavors from contaminating your espresso.

Manufactured in stainless steel for maximum sturdiness. These materials ensure our coffee machines have a longer useful life. The body is made entirely from 304 grade stainless steel. At 2.5 mm thick, we have created a coffee machine for life.
Stainless steel base
The machine’s base is also manufactured from 304 grade stainless steel in a high-gloss finish. The complex manufacturing process, which includes a combination of both artisan and high-tech processes, has produced what we consider to be an extraordinary result. A spectacular and unique piece. Objects of this complexity and manufacturing skill are no longer made in the 21st century. Mass production and serial manufacturing have done away with them. We wanted to rescue this artisan form of creation using the highest quality materials. To create a beautiful and eternal product.
Baydur body
The body is manufactured from a combination of high-gloss 304 grade stainless steel in areas in contact with water and Baydur for the outer shell. This is a modern material that combines freedom of design and practicality: excellent mechanical resistance, resistant to high temperatures and a watertight interior. Baydur offered us unrestricted design options. Its curved, sinuous shapes are impossible to achieve with other materials. It also meant we could use all the colours from the RAL colour chart and special paint textures to achieve the perfect finish.
