Affordable and easy to use, the Capresso EC100 Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Machine is a great choice for beginners. This versatile model can accommodate pods and ground espresso as well as steam and froth milk for lattes and cappuccinos. Brewing and frothing functions are made easy, with the EC100’s simple controls; just turn the knob, located on the front panel of the machine, to alternate between the two. Thanks to its compact dimensions, you won’t have any trouble making room for the EC100. However, don’t let its diminutive size fool you, this espresso and cappuccino maker come equipped with a powerful 15-bar pump and stainless-steel lined ThermoBlock heating system. Not just a workhorse, the Capresso EC100 has a handsome design that really shines, thanks to well-placed stainless-steel accents. This model comes with a one-year limited manufacturer’s warranty.
The Capresso EC100 comes with two sieves, one accommodates ground espresso and the other works with pods. The machine is fed by a removable 46-ounce water tank and has a self-locking filter holder with thumb guard for your convenience. The steam wand can swivel side to side, allowing you to accommodate different sized frothing pitchers with ease. Leave the frothing sleeve attached to froth or remove it to steam as needed. The EC100 has an integrated stainless steel cup warmer and simple indicator lights to help you navigate machine functions. The machine’s controls are all accessible from the front for hassle-free use. This model uses 1350 watts of power.by Marc Buckman
