Crew Review

Pros

Style - The Nina shows off some nice design ideas and would accent most kitchens well
Pod-Compatible - This model allows the user the option to use either ground coffee or ESE pods

Cons

Plastic Case - With amazing steel options from Saeco, like the Aroma or Via Venezia, it's hard to justify the cost on this plastic case
Where's the Brass? - Unlike the Aroma, the Nina has an lightweight aluminum portafilter, leaving it vulnerable to temperature loss during brewing

How it Works
Each time you brew, you'll set the shot volume, dosing and pressure uniquely so you can easily tweak your shot to your preferences.

Components & Functionality

Heavy Stainless Steel Lined Boiler: An improvement over the standard aluminum thermoblocks.

Pressurized Portafilter with Pod Adapter: For consistent espresso every time, the pressurized portafilter accommodates a wide range of grinds and types of coffee. The pod adapter allows you to use your favorite ESE pod and never clean up coffee grounds again.

50 oz. Water Tank: Fewer trips to the sink for water means more time enjoying your espresso.

Pannarello Frothing Device: No longer is barista training required to froth your milk. Just submerge the wand, open the steam knob, and you are on your way to great lattes or cappuccinos.
