WHY THIS SETUP MAY WORK FOR YOU

Why this setup may work for you

  • The Specialità supports a common 58 mm portafilter. The portafilter is the handled coffee holder that locks into the machine.
  • The machine has two heating blocks called dual thermoblocks. This supports a different multi-drink routine from a machine with one water heater.
  • The narrow grinder uses less side-to-side counter space than many grinders that store beans in a hopper.
THINGS TO CHECK FIRST

Things to check first

  • This setup needs a suitable 20-amp electrical circuit. Check the outlet circuit before you buy. A plug adapter does not change the circuit requirement. Do not operate the machine inside a cabinet or similar enclosure.
  • Space needed to use it means the front-to-back space needed while the machine is in use. The published space needed to use it is 16.5 inches with the portafilter.
