Coffee Tickle

Do you have passion for espresso but not a lot of space? The new V’Spresso is a fully automatic espresso machine that comes in a streamlined, compact size. Loaded with hybrid vigor, the V’Spresso is an American inspiration with Italian design and German engineering. The machine boasts a heavy-duty stainless steel lined boiler for greater durability. Press the brew button once for a single espresso or coffee. Pushing the brew button twice quickly will put a double shot of espresso or coffee in your cup. Utilize the enormous flexibility of this machine’s programming options by varying the water volume up to 12-ounces and the ability to select up to 9-grams of ground coffee per brewing cycle. On-screen functions include a multilingual digital screen. The screen indicates cup size, the temperature of your brew, when to rinse and de-scale and more. Saeco's patented Rapid-Steam system provides consistent steam for repeated drinks. The steam wand accommodates frothing pitchers up to 32-ounces. If you need instant hot water for making tea, hot cocoa, or Americanos, the hot water feature is available at the press of a button. With this machine, you can even make a Cafe Creme, often referred to as a Swiss-brewed coffee. For a Cafe Creme, a courser ground is needed, a simple adjustment on this great machine. This coarser ground allows for more water to pass through faster, resulting in a frothy layer of coffee that floats on the top: the crema. A special pre-ground coffee funnel allows you to pour pre-ground coffee into a funnel that is accessed by lifting a small lid on top of the machine. This feature is perfect when there is someone in the crowd who wants a decaffeinated espresso and there are only caffeine espresso beans in the machine, or if you wish to sample other blends of coffee. After making a cup of coffee with the pre-ground option, the machine automatically resets back to the beans held in the machine. This machine has a feature that will allow you to adjust the amount of coffee to be ground for each individual cup. The Saeco V’Spresso has a built-in, conical type burr grinder, the same type used by the professionals. Conical burr grinders are made up of a cone shaped grinding wheel that turns slow enough not to burn the coffee beans. A built-in 67-oz. water tank can be refilled while still on the machine or by removing it. For perfect coffee extraction, the machine is equipped with a powerful, 15 bar pump. Store 1/2-lbs. of beans in the lidded hopper. This large capacity allows up to 30 cups of coffee before refilling is needed. Other features include a heavy duty heating system with a 1250-watt boiler, an adjustable beverage dispensing nozzle that moves up or down to accept cup sizes up to 4-inches high, a heated surface on top for espresso cups and a base that swivels for cleaning and maintenance. Used coffee grounds are collected in the grounds dump box, which can hold up to 15 spent portions of coffee before emptying is required (a message
