How Things Work
The EC100 portafilter sieves are pressurized, making it easy to achieve excellent crema even if grind size or tamping pressure isn’t perfect. 15 bars of pressure ensure flavor-rich espresso and the dual frother wand provides powerful steam/froth for delicious milk specialties.
Dual Frother
For ease of use and high-quality performance, the Dual Frother features a frothing sleeve for cappuccinos and a steam tube, which is under the frothing sleeve, for lattes.
- Frothing: When the frothing sleeve is placed over the steam tube, hot steam and air are injected into the milk. The air swirls inside the milk creating silky dense froth on top for cappuccinos.
- Steaming: When the frothing sleeve is removed to reveal the steam tube, only hot steam will be injected into the milk, no airy froth will be produced. This is for preparing lattes.
- Important: To work properly, the frothing sleeve and steam tube must be completely cleaned after each use to avoid milk deposit build up.
Auto Rinse
The EC100 internal components are automatically rinsed while simultaneously maintaining the proper temperature for brewing and steaming/frothing milk, with no waiting in between brewing and steaming/frothing.
