Pros
- It's Oh So Quiet - A rotary pump makes this espresso machine incredibly quiet, compared to the vibratory pump models on the market
- No Burn Nozzles - Keep your fingerprints with the insulated steam wand and hot water dispenser
- Directly Plumbed - The Vetrano is directly connected to your water supply, eliminating the need for or hassle of a water reservoir
|
Cons
- Directly Plumbed - Yeah, this is also listed as a Pro because, depending on your circumstance, it could be one or the other: You have to plumb it directly, so if that's not an option for you, this is not the machine for you
- Heavy - This espresso machine is on the heavy side, so not easy to move about; you should think of its installation like that of any other large kitchen appliance -- you're not moving that fridge around a lot, are you?
- Poor Knob Design - Similar to the Andreja Premium, the Vetrano's knobs are not terrifically ergonomic and have a slick surface that may require more force to turn than you'd like

How it Works
Using your Vetrano is easy! Here's an outline of the basic process:
- Turn the espresso machine on; brewing temperature will likely be reached in about 10 minutes (some folks recommend waiting up to an hour)
- While you're waiting for the machine to warm up, you can grind and tamp your espresso in your portafilter
- When brew temperature is reached, lift the lever to pull some water through the brew group, warming up all internal components prior to pulling your shot
- Insert your portafilter and initiate the shot by lifting the lever
- Once your shot is complete, push the lever back down to end the shot and release pressure -- you'll end up with a dry puck for disposal
- If you're making a latte or cappuccino, feel free to steam your milk at any time; the heat exchange boiler facilitates simultaneous brew and steam

Care
For detailed care instructions, please refer to your machine's user manual. We recommend that you also incorporate the following into your cleaning routine:
- Descale every 2 - 3 months. We recommend using Dezcal.
- Clean the brew gasket with a cleaning brush daily
- Soap out water tank and drip tray every few days
- Optional: Perform backflush routine and clean the filter basket each week.
- Keep the stainless steel casing shiny with a microfiber cloth

Features & Accessories
The 'prosumer' Vetrano is built with an eye on professional-class functionality.
Components & Functionality
- Polished Stainless Steel: Highly durable and heavy duty housing with a removable cup warmer, large capacity drip tray and grate.
- Copper Heat Exchange Boiler: Insulated, 1.6 Liter, commercial-grade boiler utilizes heat exchange functionality so you'll be able to simultaneously brew and steam. Its high-quality vacuum breaker will let you put the machine on a timer (with no vapor lock), so once it's up to temperature, it will brew all day long.
- Brass Portafilter Set: Your Vetrano comes with two complete, commercial-quality 58mm portafilters -- one for single shots and one for doubles.
- Professional-Class E-61 Brew Head: Pull amazing espresso with the commercially-designed E-61 brew group, revered among espresso fans for its excellences in temperature regulation. Its thermal siphon design will give your brew group superior thermal stability even during periods of inactivity.
- Lever Controlled with 3-Way Bi-Pass Valve: Using a simple lever design, you'll initiate a shot on your Vetrano by lifting it up; to end the shot, push the lever back down and pressure will be released through the 3-way bi-pass valve, leaving you with a dry puck for disposal.
- Dual Manometer: A pressure controller senses the pressure in your boiler and then kicks on the heating element as the pressure drops. Both pump and boiler pressure are viewable via the dual gauges located on the front of the machine.
- Rotary Pump: A rotary pump is very quiet -- you'll hardly notice it kicking on.
- Adjustable Legs: Ensure your Vetrano is completely level on the counter top with these adjustable legs.
- Dual Nozzles: Separate steam and hot water nozzles feature no burn insulation.
- Directly Plumbed: The Vetrano is a plumb-in only espresso machine, directly connecting to your water source so you won't have to worry about refilling a water reservoir.
