Piedmont Expresso Machine Company

Whip up custom coffee specialty drinks in your own kitchen, with just the right amount of foam on your double tall latte, with this sturdy Italian-made espresso machine. It has an all-steel construction under heavy chrome plating, making it as sturdy and shiny as the bumpers of a '55 Buick. The machine is 12 by 7 inches in size (with the handle lowered) and comes with a tamper, screen, screen holder, measuring ladle, and cappuccino attachment, as well as complete operating instructions and a ten-minute video.

The machine's sleek, retro look sports shiny surfaces, a thick base with curved edges, and a pull-down coffee compressor. It's attractive enough to leave out on the counter (and really too heavy to move around frequently), and once you get used to inexpensive lattes at home, you'll want it handy for everyday use. --Marcie Bovetz

Additional Information

THE MACHINE IS LARGELY CONSTRUCTED OF CAST BRASS AND IS BUILT TO LAST. THE LARGE BOILER ENSURES THAT LIME SCALE DEPOSITS HAVE MINIMAL EFFECT, MEANING MINIMUM MAINTENANCE IS NEEDED. BY LIFTING THE LEVER, A PISTON INSIDE THE GROUP IS RAISED, ALLOWING WATER UNDER PRESSURE TO INFUSE THE COFFEE IN THE FILTER HOLDER. THE LEVER IS THEN LOWERED, CAUSING THE PISTON TO FORCE THE WATER THROUGH THE COFFEE INTO THE CUP. THE USER THEREFORE CAN VARY THE SPEED AT WHICH THE WATER PASSES THROUGH THE COFFEE, ENSURING THIS LATTER IS MADE EXACTLY ACCORDING TO HIS OWN REQUIREMENTS. THE MACHINE IS FITTED WITH A STEAM JET INTERCHANGEABLE WITH THE AUTOMATIC CAPPUCCINO MAKER, FOR THE PREPARATION OF CAPPUCCINO AND HOT DRINKS IN GENERAL. THE "CAPPUCCINO AUTOMATIC" ATTACHMENT ENSURES A PERFECT CAPPUCCINO EVERY TIME. THIS DEVICE ON THE OPENING OF A VALVE AUTOMATICALLY SUCKS THE MILK FROM ITS CONTAINER AND BREWS IT WARM AND PERFECTLY FROTHED INTO THE CUP.
