Low-Noise Grinder
Great drinks—espresso, especially—starts with consistent and uniform coffee grounds. The ESAM 6620 is definitely up to the task, thanks to a professional quality conical burr grinder with 13 settings. While certainly efficient and capable, the grinder’s most notable feature is something you can’t see.

Steaming and Frothing
The ESAM 6620 is a great choice for those who enjoy milk-based drinks. It has a patented single-touch system for fully automatic steaming and frothing options. The machine comes with a milk carafe that can be detached and stored in the fridge when not in use. When you want to prepare a latte, macchiato or cappuccino, just attach the carafe to the machine and select the appropriate drink. It’s as simple as that—the ESAM 6620 will steam or froth as necessary and dispense the finished beverage directly into your cup!

For fans of Americano, tea and hot chocolate, this one-touch machine comes with a dedicated hot water spout. Fueled by a 1.8-liter water reservoir, the spout can dispense hot water on demand for your convenience.

At the end of the day, it’s not just technical proficiency, but also the little things that make a machine a good fit.
