Solis Master 5000 Digital Espresso Machine
|
In Spanish, 'Solis' refers to the sun, and it's no wonder that this machine promises the ability to 'master' that boiling energy when brewing your drinks. With a powerful 15-bar pump heating system, the Master 5000 delivers steaming hot espresso in 15 seconds. Got milk? The Master 5000 features a steam wand with push-button functionality and a removable frothing tip. This latest, digital version of the popular 5000 series improves programming options by allowing you to set drink strength, language options, a timer and automatic cleaning notifications. Better yet, the Master 5000 remembers these settings so there is literally no reason you can't hit it up for a perfect coffee mere moments before you need to drink it. Rounding out its more impressive features, this machine includes a built-in professional-grade burr grinder. When the perfect coffee starts with quality water and a great grind, the Solis delivers just what you need to make every cup perfect -- with just the press of a button!

Cons
- House of Plastic - Considering the price, we're disappointed that Solis chose plastic to house this powerful machine. It may turn you off if you plan on displaying your espresso machine prominently in your kitchen

Components & Functionality
- It All Starts With a Grind: The professional-grade conical burr grinder automatically grinds beans after you preset it for your ideal coarseness. The manual rotary knobs allow precise control of 18 different fineness settings, and the system is designed to be as quiet as possible.
- Non-Stop Action: With a 2-quart removable water tank and pre-infusion brew system, this machine is designed to churn out cup after cup of delicious coffee. The removable grind hopper holds up to 20 portions of spent grounds.
- Make it Hot: The steaming hot 1250-watt boiler heats the water for your drinks and delivers it to the grinds with the help of the heavy-duty, 15-bar pump. This system applies just the right amount of pressure to extract maximum flavor and aroma from your coffee.
- Foam Party: Delicious and creamy foam are the hallmarks of famous coffee drinks like lattes and cappuccinos, so why not indulge? The Master 5000 makes that easy by allowing you to froth, steam, or simply use the steam nozzle as a hot water delivery system for non-coffee drinks.
- Push My Buttons: The digital LCD screen provides clear instructions as you adjust this machine's many settings. Set your drink strength, size and type, as well as keep track of your coffee habit with the system's on-board cup counter. Language, timers and cleaning settings are among the many controllable aspects of the Master 5000 Digital.
- Stay Safe: This machine is smart - it won't allow you to brew without the drip tray in place and automatically shuts down between 0-12 hours of inactivity (you set the length in the programming options).
- A Little Somethin' Extra: Store cups on the top of the unit in the provided cup slots.
Included Accessories
- Cleaning Equipment: Including a cleaning brush, tablets and brew maintenance tool.
