With its frosted black corpus for a sharper appearance, the super easy handling ‘one touch display’ also includes photo-realistic coloured pictures.

Offering a selection of 10 essential recipes, four of which can be selected only by a single light touch on the display and a further six coffee variations via the menu, up to four people can also save their favourite coffee specialties to ensure individual coffee enjoyment

When it comes to coffee preparation, the Whisperer super-quiet steel cone grinder, grinds beans quickly and quietly whilst the manual bean select allows you to choose between the beans in the container depending on taste requirements. The coffee strength and grinding can also be changed for individual taste.

The Italian preparation process ensures an authentic taste as the ingredients are combined in the right order using an original Italian recipe. This means that for a latte macchiato, the espresso is added after the milk and the milk froth. For a cappuccino, it’s the reverse. It even has a Double Cup mode which allows two cups to be filled simultaneously.

With a height adjustable coffee outlet for tall glasses and extra-large mugs, this ‘must have’ machine boasts easy steam cleaning plus a removable brewing unit and plug in milk system which is dishwasher friendly and very easy to clean.
