The auto cappuccino frothing arm with stainless steeel milk pot makes frothing milk easy and fuss free for perfect cappuccino and Cafe Latte. The Themoblock system heats water on demand as the pump pumps water through it, providing a constant flow of hot water and steam - compared to a small boiler machine that can run out of steam more quickly. This system is fast which enables complete temperature accuracy (very important in making good coffee) and also reduced limescale build up.
Coffee Beans: All of today's coffee beans come from just two varieties of coffee plant; Robusta and Arabica - the mix giving the quality, flavour and strength (caffeine content) of the coffee. the beans are taken and roasted, developing the flavour and aroma of the coffee - the longer they are roasted, the darker and more aromatic the beans become.
Krups for the true coffee lover Krups began its journey towards perfect coffee back in 1846 as âa brand dedicated to precision and technical perfectionâ. These high ideals were not enough for Robert Krups the founder, who insisted this would not be some future objective but a âfirm promiseâ. The companyâs first products immediately won widespread admiration for their quality, far sighted design and technical refinement. In 1961 Krups turned its attention to making the best electric coffee grinder, revolutionising the quality of home ground coffee. Krups now makes arguably the best range of Espresso machines in the world from modest easy to use machines for novices, to fully automatic bean to cup machines for coffee connoisseurs.
