Detailed Product Features:
Simple Controls and Indicator Lights- The Gran Crema’s main power switch, brewing pump switch and steam switch are rocker type switches of heavy-duty plastic, each with its own indicator light. Located on the right side of the machine, is the easy to use steam knob.
Pressurized Portafilter- This heavy duty, stainless steel pressurized filter holder is built to withstand the Gran Crema’s high brewing pressures necessary to make superior espresso with thick, rich crema.
Built In 68-oz. Water Tank- For ease in refilling and cleaning, this 68-oz. water reservoir is fully removable. It can also be refilled from the top during the brewing cycle.
High Performance Pump System- The secret to a fine espresso with a thick layer of crema is constant pump pressure. This 15 BAR self-priming pump system has plenty of power to provide great crema coffee for years to come.
Safe and Durable Boiler- Central to the operation of an espresso machine is the quality of the boiler and heating element. The Gran Crema boasts a stainless steel, heavy-duty boiler and heating element. Steam from this powerful unit makes frothing milk a cinch. The boiler regulates the coffee brewing and milk steaming functions through the use of two separate, highly accurate thermostats. This boiler also has burnout protection; a thermal fuse to shut down the heating element should the machine run dry during operation.
