So now comes the detailed explanation of Calphalon Temp iQ Espresso Machine your way:

Thermoblock Fast Heating System

Thermoblock Technology is used on the steam side, allowing the thermoblock to do what it does best, heat water quickly while avoiding the pitfalls of its inconsistency as compared to other technologies such as Thermo coil, boiler, etc.

It heats the required amount of water for optimum extraction of oils from the tamped coffee grinds at 198°F to evenly heat espresso extraction. Even a slight temperature change can cause bitterness in taste or weak tasting espresso.

Advanced PID Controller

PID Controllers are used industrially to control and regulate temperature, pressure, and other process variables. They are the most accurate and stable controllers and are fitted in thermoblock fast heating system. It monitors and controls the thermoblock so water is delivered to tamped coffee grinds for optimum extraction of oils at the precise temperature required.

Pre-Infusion

Small amounts of water are released on tamped coffee grinds in advance to the steady flow of water to enrich the flavor of espresso. This shot control system works in coordination for stable and consistent water temperature and speed resulting in a great-tasting coffee.

15 BAR Italian Pump

The higher the pressure, the higher the quality of the espresso. Thermoblock Fast Heating System works simultaneously with 15 BAR Italian pumps to deliver accurate water temperature at the accurate pressure for optimum extraction of oils and aroma from tamped coffee grinds.

The 15 BAR Italian Pump has a pressure limit of 15 bar. It has a pressure relief system fitted inside to avoid over-pressure. After extraction, DIAL is returned to READY position and remaining pressure is released into Drip Tray.

Italian Crema System

Dual Wall Filter Baskets are used to create crema. These Dual Wall Filter Baskets have a secondary wall which has a tiny pinhole at the bottom. The already extracted coffee grinds are additionally pressurized through this secondary wall to create precise aeration.

Aerating the coffee grinds enriches its smoothness and fills out the bitterness of coffee resulting in a smoother and creamier cup pf espresso with a significant layer of golden crema. Dual Wall Filter Baskets are used with pre-ground coffee grinds but can be used with freshly ground grinds.

Auto Shot Volumetric Control

Has a dial interface for selecting steam, hot water, and pre-programmed single and double shots. The dial will have at least two (and usually more) keys with icons depicting various partially-filled cups. You just need to select 1 or 2 on the DIAL, and this will start a shot. Auto Shot Volumetric Control pours just the right amount of water, then automatically stops.

Café 58mm Group Head & Portafilter

Group Head is where the portafilter attaches to the machine. This is the first spot where water is pumped into prior to hitting the tamped coffee grinds sitting in the basket of your portafilter.

The Portafilter has a 58 mm size and it is 2.5 inches deep approximately. The included filters are pressurized. The portafilter holds the tamped coffee grinds before and during the brewing and extraction. The portafilter allows the even dispersion of water and flavor.

Steam Wand

This product comes in with an effective steam wand that hangs off the side. The steam wand used in this Espresso Machine has a ballpoint. This attached steam wand forces steam into milk and warms it gently under pressure. Simultaneously, it adds air to milk which causes it to froth.

This powerful steam wand produces creamy froth and microfoam milk for cappuccinos, lattes, and more so you could enjoy a bright cup of coffee at home just the way you like it.

Cup Warming Tray

An additional feature that makes our product unique is the cup warming tray. This maintains the dryness of cups when they warm for a wet cup may cause the surface tension to break while attempting latte art. This comes in handy for creating cappuccinos, lattes, and other drinks, just like in shops.
