Keeping this pressure steady is key to making excellent espresso shots every time.
Water Level Sight Glass
The water level sight glass on the boiler is an essential feature that provides a visual indication of the water level inside the boiler. This is particularly useful when filling the boiler, as it helps to prevent overfilling and ensures that the water level is at the appropriate level for safe and efficient operation.
Brass Boiler

The high thermal conductivity of brass leads to a noticeable improvement in the temperature consistency of espresso shots during brewing.

- Heat Exchange: In contrast to dual boiler machines that have separate boilers for brewing and steaming, employ a single boiler with a heat exchange tube. This tube allows hot water from the boiler to heat the brewing water as it flows through, ensuring consistent brewing temperature.
- Simultaneous Brewing and Steaming: Thanks to the heat exchange system, baristas can brew espresso shots while simultaneously frothing milk for lattes or cappuccinos. This simultaneous operation is essential during peak hours in a commercial setting.
