Opening a coffee bar at home comes with a few advantages. The hours suit you, the dress code is forgiving, and nobody minds if you don’t know how to pronounce your order. This compact stainless steel espresso machine gives you the equipment to make espresso, cappuccinos, and lattes without surrendering the kitchen to the enterprise.
A 15-bar Italian pump extracts the espresso, while thermoblock heating brings the water to an even temperature. Volumetric controls dispense a measured amount for your shot, and the steam wand lets you froth milk for whichever drink the morning calls for. Keep it short and strong or add steamed milk and take your time; you’re unlikely to find a queue forming behind you.
An adjustable cup tray accommodates different cup sizes, and the included milk jug and tamper help you get started. The slim design leaves room on the counter for the rest of breakfast. Your coffee bar may have only one regular customer, but that’s all the business it needs.
