GIRMI MC51 Caffè Preludio espresso coffee maker 1350W Black

The Girmi MC51 Caffè Preludio is a black espresso machine that lets you brew with either ground coffee or ESE 44 mm paper coffee pods, so you can choose the method that suits your day. The ULKA pump operates at a nominal pressure of 20 bar, and according to the manufacturer the machine is ready to use after about 30 seconds of heating. A temperature display and six automatic programs keep the brewing process clear and easy to follow.

The manual steam wand lets you froth milk for cappuccino, and the hot water function is suitable for tea or for warming cups. The 1.5-litre water tank means fewer refills when you are preparing several drinks in a row.

ESE pods come pre-portioned and wrapped in paper filter material, which simplifies dosing and helps keep the work surface clean. The machine measures 23 × 32 × 28 cm, offering a compact footprint on the kitchen counter.
