DESC: There isnt a machine on the market in this price range that offers as much in terms of quality of build, performance, and appearance. A look on the inside of the machine will reveal an unusual component in a machine in this price range, a brass boiler. The plumbing is also made of brass, which simply lasts longer than other materials. All of the components are fasted to a stainless steel body and the overall fit and finish of the machine is superb. On the outside you will appreciate the polished stainless steel housing, retro switches and controls. And unlike any espresso machine at this price, the Supergiada has a brewing pressure gauge that helps insure you are getting a great espresso shot.
