Isomac Relax Automatica

In business since 1977, Isomac is the secret GEM for home-model and semi-commercial espresso machines made in Italy! As a significant provider in Europe, Isomac has a following in the United States since they were introduced about 5 years ago. They only manufacture stainless steel bodies in their lineup and are a strong supporter of thermically-balanced groupheads in their semi-commercial line up.

Features:

The Venus features four heavy-duty, simple to use toggle switches with integrated indicator lights. The power switch is on the upper right far corner of the control panel. The three switches on the left side of the control panel: control the brewing, hot water, and steaming functions of the machine.

• Front-mounted pressure gauge monitors brewing pressures to ensure you are getting the best espresso shot at 8-9 bar. 2-hole round steaming tip produces an abundance of steam for perfect cappuccinos and lattes. 58mm heavy-duty portafilter and filter baskets. Well-designed grouphead influenced by Isomac's commercial line of espresso machines.
• Two thermostats to closely regulate operating temperatures.
• Thermal fuse provides burnout protection if the boiler is operated dry or runs out of water. Three way solenoid valve located on the grouphead to allows the filter handle to be removed immediately after the espresso extraction. Instantly releases built up pressure in the portafilter.
• Heated cup-stacking surface allows for preheated cups.
• Removable stainless steel drip & cup tray. Removable water reservoir from top for easy refilling or easy cleaning.
• Instant hot water on demand for tea, Americanos, hot chocolate, or other hot beverages. Self-priming, powerful pump provides more than enough pressure for excellent espresso topped with thick crema. Polished stainless-steel body and frame for added durability. Heavy Duty Pump - The Venus uses a 52-watt vibratory pump that provides the exact pressures needed to deliver perfect espresso.
• The lines from the pump, to the boiler, and from the boiler to the grouphead are all commercial grade items, with a big, beefy piece of cast brass helping to complete the trip. Other machines may feel the need to advertise their BAR rating; the Venus doesn't have to - it's a given the machine has the power to spare.
• Expansion relief-valve allows excess pump pressure to be redirected to the water reservoir Three (3) thermostats - coffee, steam, and safety.
• Stainless-steel braided hose from pump to boiler for added durability - other machines may only have teflon hoses that are susceptible to cracking over time. Swivel-based steam wand with two-hole, chrome-plated steam tip.
