The Stone is a compact heat-exchanger machine, just over twenty centimetres wide: a one-and-a-half-litre boiler makes steam, and the brew water runs through it in a coil, heating as it goes. The group is solid brass, over three kilos, with its own heating controlled by a PID to hold the brew temperature steady.
It is ready in about ten minutes. The body is all metal, with no plastic parts, and a coloured light shows the machine's status and any alarms. The front panels unclip and change quickly, and the same machine comes in several finishes.
The tank is small, 1.2 litres, and needs frequent refilling. It is for someone who wants a narrow heat exchanger that is ready quickly, with brew temperature held by the heated group, and a look to choose.
