15 BAR pump
The Piccolo Espresso
®
is fitted with a 15
BAR pump delivering the pressure required
for complete extraction of oils, coffee solids
and aroma.
Thermoblock heating system
Ensures the precise temperature is achieved.
As espresso is made with hot rather than
boiling water and the thermoblock heats the
water to 92°C (just below boiling point) for
optimum extraction of oils from the coffee
grinds. Temperatures above this will burn the
coffee grinds resulting in a bitter taste.
Crema System
The dual-wall filter creates additional back
pressure and stabilising baffle produces a
steady pour and maintains the temperature of
the espresso.
