The Pasquini Livietta T2 Espresso Machine offers caf1/2©-quality brewing in a compact design that easily fits on the kitchen countertop. The Livietta T2 is equipped with a dual thermoblock heating system that gives it a quick heat-up time - just 2 minutes for brewing - and allows you to brew and steam simultaneously. A powerful self-priming 15-BAR pump creates the right amount of pressure for optimum extraction, while a 3-way solenoid valve relieves the water pressure after brewing is complete. The machine also features a heavy-duty portafilter and brew group that are made of chrome-plated marine brass for better heat retention. In addition to ground coffee, the portafilter can brew with E.S.E. coffee pods with the optional pod kit (sold separately).
