Solis SL 70 Espresso Machine
|
Crema out of the box? Well, not quite, but the Solis SL 70 comes very close to delivering on that promise with rich and creamy shots brewed with the help of its specially-designed, pressurized portafilter system. This cost-effective semi-automatic gives you huge bang for your buck with three included filter types - including one that takes espresso pods - a rapid-steam system and an extra large water reservoir. All of this wrapped in space-saving Swiss-designed housing that neatly tucks into even smallish kitchens makes this a great option for someone who wants the oomph of a superautomatic's quality and ease, but at the price and with the control of a semi-auto.

Pros
- On A Budget - Given the features on this machine, it's very much a budget option for the budding home barista
- Pod Person? - Prefer using pre-packaged espresso pods? The SL 70 accommodates your need for simplicity with an included filter that takes pods!
- Super Hot, Super Fast - Brews piping hot drinks in under a minute thanks to a robust heating pump system
|
Cons
- Design Last - Let's face it - this guy isn't going to win any beauty contests. Much like a practical, every day commuter's car, the SL 70 is designed for function over form
- The Crema Claim - Out-of-the-box, this machine is not designed to deliver true crema. While it is capable of brewing delicious shots, you'd have to buy aftermarket portafilter basket add-ons to really up the head on your shots

Features & Accessories
Smooth and creamy at rock bottom prices? Good taste can be inexpensive, after all. Find out how the Solis SL 70 manages to make it so.
Components & Functionality
- Pick Your Grind: You have the option of filling the filter with either the grounds of your choosing or using your favorite pre-packaged espresso pods. The machine comes with portafilters for either option.
- Hot and Fast: With a 3-quart removable water tank and a 19-bar pump system, this machine is designed to churn out cup after cup of delicious coffee in 15-20 seconds per shot.
- Silky Milk: Delicious and creamy foam are the hallmarks of famous coffee drinks like lattes and cappuccinos, so why not indulge? A twist of the steam knob allows you to froth, steam, or simply use the nozzle as a hot water delivery system for non-coffee drinks -- all with super-fast results!
- Save Your Counters: The SL 70 is a tad shorter than most, and can neatly tuck under low cabinets.
- Warm It Up, Keep It That Way: A cold cup can remove as much as 15 degrees from your drink, but the SL 70's built-in cup warming tray keeps your beverage piping hot between brew and serve.
Included Accessories
- Portafilter Baskets: Three, 53mm filters - a single, a double and a pod-adapted.
