Data from official source
The Maximatic is a dual-circuit machine (the manufacturer's own term, equivalent to a heat exchanger), with a stainless steel boiler described as "flavor-neutral." The manufacturer states the model dates back to 1974, a piece of product history rather than a technical specification of the unit currently sold.
The pump is a vibration-damped pump, and a pressure gauge allows monitoring. The water tank holds 1.5 l. Dimensions are 19.5 x 34 x 37 cm for 18.5 kg, with 220-240V/50Hz/1000W power (also available as 120V/60Hz/850W for other markets).
The manufacturer does not specify PID control, preinfusion type, a 3-way valve, brew group type, heat-up time, a plumb-in option, or portafilter diameter: data absent from the official product page.
