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...

Often people who want to buy an espresso machine think that the 'cheap' vibration pumps are only second choice and that it would be best to have a rotary pump in the machine...

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...

Upon request, the boiler can be provided with additional double insulation made of 10 mm thick needle felt, packed in a stainless steel tube. The top and bottom edges of the kettle fix the...

Brewing pressure is one of the parameters that impacts the extraction of your espresso – albeit not a huge one. The institute, which 'watches' over the espresso in Italy, recommends a brewing pressure of around 8 bar...

Depending on personal preference, the steam or hot water wand can be placed on the left or right. As standard, the valve for steam is mounted on the left and the valve...

After the coffee extraction the remaining water is drained from the circuit via a spout. Since the water is still under some pressure from the pump, unsightly stains will appear around the spout over time due to water splashes...

The entire supporting structure was made very stable since forces act on the entire espresso machine when the portafilter is clamped,. All load-bearing parts are cut from 2 mm stainless steel plates. Above that are the panels made of 1 mm stainless steel...

The geometry of the supplied single and double baskets has been selected in such a way that it is possible to change only the grinding time ...

An installation shaft is built into the machine, which takes on 3 important functions: It accommodates the electronics...

Although the brew group is not an E61 brew group, the geometry of the portafilter holder (bell) is based on that of the E61. This makes clamping the portafilter comparatively easy...

he 4 feet of the Xenia are not fixed in the chassis baseplate, but are screwed into stable M10 rivet nuts with a correspondingly long thread...

The boiler pressure and temperature of the standard version of the Xenia are controlled by tried-and-tested pressure switches. All machines are set to 1.2 bar overpressure in the boiler...

One of the important factors when brewing espresso is the brewing time. Ideally, 25-30 ml (single-strainer) or 50-60 ml (double-strainer) is reached within 25 seconds. The built-in brewing timer...

There are many copper pipes in the machine that hydraulically connect the components with one another. Instead of the usual connections with a union nut and a sealing cone soldered onto the copper pipe, we opted for the compression fittings from Serto...

We also think that we earn our money here in affluent Central Europe and that is why we buy the parts here or have them produced here as well. here im wohlhabenden Mitteleuropa unser Geld verdienen und deswegen kaufen wir auch here die Teile ein bzw. lassen auch hier produzieren...

The espresso machine is inherently very solid and heavy. The core is a torsion-free chassis made of 2 mm stainless steel sheets, reinforced in every direction. The panels are made of high-quality refined stainless steel sheets. ...

The Xenia can be equipped with a connection to the water supply system, including a drain for the waste water...

Als Ersatzteile können auch Teile von anderen Herstellern eingebaut werden. Hier werden exemplarisch einige gängige Typen mit den wichtigsten Eigenschaften gelistet. Im Zweifel bitte vorher anfragen. Pressostat 1/8G-Aussengewinde, 230 VTypen: zum Beispiel MaTer XP110...
