It has pre-infusion and a Memo function, which saves the preferred brewing time, and it also accepts pods. The box includes two double-wall filters, one for two cups, up to 16 grams of ground coffee, and one for a single cup, plus a coffee doser with tamper. The black plastic panarello handles steam and hot water. The pump reaches up to 15 bar and the machine switches to stand-by after 30 minutes of inactivity.
