Espressione Cafe Retro Espresso Machine

Ground Coffee & Pod Portafilters

The Espressione Cafe Retro has two chrome-plated brass portafilter handles: one for ground coffee and one for use with pre-packaged ESE espresso pods. The pressurized 58mm aluminum portafilter, used for brewing ground coffee, has both single and double-shot filter baskets.

Large Boiler

The Italian designers at Espressione included a 24-ounce, corrosion-resistant aluminum boiler on this quality machine. And because of its design, the aluminum boiler heats up quickly and retains heat extremely well.

Easy-to-Use Controls

Equipped with two toggle switches and a manual lever, the Cafe Retro is easy to operate. One toggle switch controls brewing; the other alternates control between the steam wand and the hot water dispenser. There are also two lights on the front of the machine that notify you when the steam wand is operational and when the boiler has reached brewing temperature. The lever on the right side of the machine opens the steam valve, allowing you to release steam or hot water.

Cup Warmer

The passively heated cup warmer on the Cafe Retro warms up to six cups within its metal rails. Heating cups is an essential part of enjoying delicious espresso; cold cups immediately suck the heat out of espresso.

Hot Water Dispenser and Steam Wand

Steaming milk is a cinch. Just immerse the Maxi Cappuccino frothing wand directly into the milk pitcher, pull the lever, and you will have frothed milk for lattes and cappuccinos in seconds. The same lever is used for dispensing hot water for tea, hot chocolate, or cafe Americanos.

Water Reservoir

The removable clear plastic 30-ounce reservoir has clear markings for easy filling. It is removable from the back of the machine.

Temperature Gauge

With its front-mounted temperature gauge, the Cafe Retro allows you to monitor brewing and steaming temperatures.
