Data from official source

The Cadorna Barista Plus is the Cadorna variant with a steam wand instead of the pannarello: milk is textured in a jug with the manual bar gesture, not through a fixed nozzle. The spout leaves up to 150mm of clearance underneath, room for a tall glass; anyone who prefers a traditional espresso cup can use the built-in Espresso Tray, a raised shelf that keeps the crema compact and spatter-free. The ceramic grinder mills beans fresh, with the grind level set from the dial above the hopper.

Among its seven menu drinks is Over Ice Coffee; each one can be customised and saved to one of four user profiles, so it comes back identical every time. Anyone who prefers pre-ground coffee finds a dedicated compartment, though only for one cup at a time. The brew unit comes off with the PUSH lever and washes under running water, no detergent and no dishwasher.

It suits anyone who wants to practise the steam-wand gesture without giving up the personalised profiles of a bean-to-cup machine.

Pros and cons

In favour

Worth knowing

  • The steam wand takes practice: milk is textured by hand, with no automatic temperature or foam settings.
