More information
For those who see the charm in a classic lever-operated espresso machine, the Pro 800 is perfect for you. It is incredibly satisfying to pull the lever, with the extra control over each espresso being something that makes you want to come back.
Features and performance
The secret is something that is unique to lever machines like the Pro 800, which is true pre-infusion with low pressure that produces smoother, fuller, and sweeter espresso flavors. You can do this by pulling the lever to fill the brew group and apply about 1 to 1.5 bars from the boiler to gently saturate the coffee. By carefully lifting the lever, a spring-loaded piston is released that gradually builds up pressure and then decreases when the lever is pulled back. In this way, a kind of pressure profiling is achieved that works perfectly to release the various flavors in a specialty coffee. For further control, the Pro 800 has a Gicar PID controller that is artfully hidden behind the drip tray to preserve the machine's classic aesthetic. You will be able to adjust the brewing temperature as you wish and maintain it there thanks to the stability that PID temperature control offers.
Because it is a spring-loaded piston that generates the high brewing pressure and not a pump, the Pro 800 will be completely silent during brewing. It is one of the quieter machines on the market, as the pump can only be heard when filling the boiler via the internal water tank. About The Pro 800 is directly connected, so the water line pressure will fill the boiler instead of the pump, making the Pro 800 completely silent.
