Caffe Espresso At Home—Giotto Machine Review

Dear Cyber Reader
As you are reading this, I can assume that you are driven to have the finest tasting espresso you can prepare at your fingertips. You are seeking quality. But, let's be honest now, doesn't a little (or a lot) of sex appeal in the machine make a difference?

If your like me you need a quality espresso, but a little sizzle helps prepare the mood. Well, have I got good new s for you. The Giotto makes the best espresso of any home machine I have tested and most of the commercial ones too. And it looks like morphing chromium, oozing over your bar. Take a look at the photo of the Giotto below.

The Machine

The group head design is similar to the old E-61 of the Faema but has been re-engineered by the Manufacturer, ECM (Espresso Coffee Machines) of Milano, Italy.

Changes include a re-designed thermo-syphon type of heat exchanger, with a flow control feature built in. As you can surmise, one of the biggest problems facing espresso machine engineers is the effort to control the temperature when different volumes of water are demanded. Additional temperature stabilization efforts include a thick brass endplate for the boiler that serves as a heat sink.

So what we have here is the best effort at producing an espresso machine for the home with professional machine engineering. And, they have succeeded.
