For use with either coffee beans or ground coffee, this fully automatic espresso machine features an integrated conical burr grinder with various settings for adjusting the fineness of all types of beans. The unit's direct-brew system grinds beans instantly before brewing to produce the freshest espresso or coffee. Plus, it delivers 15 bars of pressure and Thermoblock technology for even heat distribution. For added convenience, the machine's digital programmable menu settings allow for adjusting the start time, auto shut-off, and the clock, as well as adjusting the temperature of the coffee and water hardness. Choose from five coffee-strength settings--extra-mild, mild, regular, strong, and extra strong--plus three cup-size options, which include ristretto (small), espresso (medium), and American coffee (large).
