US coffee machine manufacturer Capresso has launched its EC300 machine featuring a built-in warming platform to preheat cups to the ideal temperature.
A new illuminated control knob – for brewing, frothing or steaming – makes for simple operation. Meanwhile, a dual frother wand provides steam or froth for both cappuccinos and lattes.
Capresso said the stainless steel-lined ThermoBlock heating system ‘ensures espresso is always brewed at the ideal temperature’.
In a statement, the company said: “Pre-infusion enriches the taste, and the 15-bar pump provides optimal pressure for rich crema, the thin layer of foam that is the mark of a perfectly brewed espresso.
“Whether you’re brewing coffee, espresso or a delicious milk specialty, a perfect brew will elevate the taste experience.”
A heavy-duty portafilter includes two sieves to produce one or two thick espressos at a time. Both the frothing cover and the stainless-steel drip tray are removable for cleaning. And there is an automatic rinsing cycle after each use to clean the machine and maintain the proper temperature.
The EC300 has comes in black with stainless steel accents. It is compact, at 7.5 inches wide and 12 inches deep. It is now available in the US, retailing at $149.99.
