Built to last, backed by years of care
Crafted from steel, our conical burr grinder is designed to deliver rich, aromatic espresso. It comes with an extended 3-year limited part warranty1 (on top of the standard 2 years), giving you extra peace of mind.

Explore a world of coffee from your own kitchen
Whether you're half-awake or entertaining guests, your perfect espresso is always on hand, with a café menu at your fingertips. With 6 hot and iced recipe options—from bold espresso to refreshing iced coffee—your drinks are ready at the push of a button. You can personalize drinks too. The backlit LED display makes customization simple, so you can adjust strength, size and temperature.

IntelliGrind—the right grind, every time
Our built-in burr grinder adapts automatically to every bean type and roast. The IntelliGrind system detects and fine-tunes the dose, ensuring rich, consistent flavour with every new cup. Whether you're sticking to your favourite beans or trying something new, the intelligent brew unit seamlessly adjusts to deliver well balanced espresso, shot after shot. With our technology, your machine does all the work, so you can sit back and enjoy a delicious cup, every time.

Foam it, froth it, love it
Get hands-on control over your milk. This auto steam wand works by pulling air into the milk during steaming, producing a smooth, velvety microfoam that makes it easy to achieve barista-style steamed milk at home.
A foam density toggle on the side of the steam wand lets you adjust the texture as you go—from lighter, airy foam for cappuccinos to a creamier finish for lattes. It’s removable too, so cleaning is easy.

Iced coffee, refreshingly easy
Iced coffee can be tricky to master. So let this clever espresso machine handle it for you. The over-ice coffee setting brews at a lower temperature, which helps protect the flavour and prevent over-extraction. That means your coffee stays smooth and balanced as it cools, instead of becoming diluted or bitter. For best results, we recommend serving cold drinks over ice. Once your perfectly chilled shot is ready, simply pour your favourite milk over the iced espresso to craft your own delicious iced latte or other custom iced coffee creations.

Quiet Mark certified grinding
Start your mornings in peace with our Quiet Grinding System, and just the gentle hum of your espresso being crafted to perfection.
With advanced noise insulation and clever design, we’ve minimized the sound and vibration, so you can brew your favourite coffee without waking the house. Certified by Quiet Mark, this is one of the quietest machines in its category. Because your coffee experience should be as calm as the first sip.

Savour the moment, not the maintenance
We’ve designed this espresso machine to handle the routine care as much as possible, so using it feels simple. When it switches on, it gives itself a quick rinse to warm the internal pipes and brew unit. That gets everything up to the right temperature and clears the system, helping your first sip taste hot, rich and balanced.
Coffee is naturally oily, so residue can build up over time. That’s why the machine automatically rinses again when you turn it off, washing away any remaining deposits. It’s a hassle-free routine that keeps the system clean, protects the flavour of your coffee and helps the machine stay in great condition for the long run. When deeper care is needed, easy on-screen alerts guide you through every process. From deep milk system cleaning to using the auto-descaling program, you'll know exactly what to do, and when.

Compact design, uncompromised taste
These compact fully automatic espresso machines are now 25% smaller2 but don’t compromise on performance. With its compact, space-saving design, it fits effortlessly into your kitchen, bringing quality espresso right to your countertop.
Despite its reduced size, this machine is engineered to deliver the same rich, full-bodied flavour of our full sized line up. Whether you’re craving a double espresso or an iced latte, this machine combines convenience, style and performance in one sleek package—proof that great taste doesn’t need to take up a lot of space.
