MODEL 4KPES100
ESPRESSO MACHINE FEATURES
Portafilter
Commercial-size portafilter features chrome-plated
brass construction and an easy-to-grip flared
handle. Attaches to the brew head with a firm twist
to the right.
Filter Baskets
Stainless steel filter baskets snap into portafilter. Use
the small capacity basket for a single shot (1 oz
[30 ml]) of espresso, and the large capacity basket
for double shots (2 oz [60 ml]). The small basket
also accommodates paper coffee pods.
Frothing Pitcher
The 8 1 ⁄ oz (255 ml) capacity stainless steel pitcher
2
is invaluable for frothing.
Tamper
Evenly tamps coffee into the filter basket.
12
Coffee Scoop and Shower-Screen Brush
Use one level scoop of coffee for each shot
(1 oz [30 ml]) of espresso. The shower-screen brush
will help keep the brew head and shower screen
free of grounds.
Not Shown:
Dual Boilers
Separate boilers eliminate the wait single-boiler machines require
when switching between frothing and brewing. Boiler heating
elements never touch water: they are located on the outside of
the boiler for superb brew temperature consistency and burnout-
resistance. Quick heating boilers reach operating temperatures in
less than 6 minutes.
Drip-Free System with 3-Way Solenoid Valve
A 3-way solenoid valve virtually eliminates drips by instantly
reducing pressure in the brew group when the pump is switched
off. The portafilter can be removed immediately after brewing
without a messy spray of coffee grounds.
15 Bar Pump
Self-priming water pump comfortably supplies the 9 bars
(130 psi) of pressure that perfect espresso demands.
