There are several options for frothing milk.
On the one hand, you can choose between 2 kettle sizes: the household-sized 1.4 l kettle which is good enough for 2 cappuccinos. For a moderate surcharge, a 1.8 l kettle can be installed, which can then froth larger quantities of milk at once (both optionally with and without kettle insulation)....
The machine with its 1.4-liter boiler is very well suited for household use. You can make 2 cappuccinos without any problems and long waiting times and there are no waiting times worth mentioning even for a larger group.
The thermal bridge is a very central part of the Xenia's overall concept. It is made of copper (Cu-ETP) and connects and holds the brew group and boiler.
The brew group is thus thermally synchronised with the boiler and benefits from the very even heat generation of the boiler...
We did not use a pre-infusion chamber when designing the brew group for various reasons.
Pre-infusion is a sensible measure to obtain extractions of more or less constant quality, although this also depends on other factors. Espresso extractions with light types of coffee—with and without pre-infusion—will always flow more...
Oft denke Leute, die eine Espressomaschine kaufen wollen, dass die ‚billigen‘ Vibrationspumpen nur 2. Wahl sind und man am besten eine Rotationspumpe in der Maschine hätte. Vibrationspumpen haben aber 3 Vorteile: sie sind günstig, setzten sich bei längerer...
There are a number of good brew groups/ concepts for espresso machines. The best known is the E61 brew group. However, since the E61 is not as controllable as we would like, we have preferred a slightly different concept. The idea of the E61 to use the heat from the boiler...
