About This Note: 1)Too coarse a grind, too little coffee, or insufficiently tamping the grounds before brewing can all lead to inadequate pressure for a proper brew. 2)It is important to note that the amount of espresso extracted will vary depending on the grind size and amount and reprogramming may be needed when the size and amount are adjusted Our iconic brewing system quickly and effectively brings out the full flavor of coarsely ground beans, producing delicious coffee every time. The carafe is made of shatterproof BPA Free SAN Plastic - that doesn’t alter or impair the coffee’s natural flavor – is framed in BPA plastic. Transparent carafe makes the whole brewing process visible. The stainless steel plunger prevents coffee grounds escaping when the coffee is poured.
