The Best of This Model

This model offers a specific strong-extraction profile thanks to its double shot system, which is useful when you want a bolder cup without manual tamping. The machine's controls allow volume personalisation so you can adjust coffee length to preference, and settings are straightforward to change. For a small appliance, it is responsive and fast, bringing hot espresso in moments. ⚫️

Usage Recommendations

Use the double shot capsules when you want a concentrated ristretto or a robust espresso to pair with milk drinks. For lighter servings, switch to the single shot capsules and reduce the volume setting to taste. Note that while the machine accepts compatible Nespresso* capsules, capsule performance and crema may vary depending on the third-party product used, according to the manufacturer. Consider that this system relies exclusively on capsules, so it may not suit users who prefer whole beans or ground coffee.
