Izzo Alex Duetto II Semi Automatic Espresso Machine - 20 amp

From its polished steel case to its professional-grade functions, the Izzo Alex Duetto II Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine is a powerful drink maker that's designed to capture your eye and produce an excellent cup of espresso. Izzo's Alex Duetto II features a new top-opening reservoir, an easy-to-adjust interior expansion valve, a convertible water source (choose between the internal reservoir or plumbing it in), a double boiler with a sophisticated PID interface control and the E61 brew group and no-burn steam and hot water wands, which give you complete control over the heat, quality and flavor of your espresso drinks.

How the Izzo Alex Duetto II Works

The Alex Duetto II is a semi-automatic espresso machine with dual boilers, which means you can brew and steam simultaneously. The upgraded PID is the primary interface for choosing temperature in either the brew boiler or the steam boiler, choosing the amp (either 15 or 20), switching between Celsius and Fahrenheit and turning either boiler off and on, among other functions. It also has a defining technology that allows you to easily switch between a reservoir or main line water source, with the flip of the switch located under the drip tray, and it comes with a hose for hooking it up to your internal plumbing.

Features & Functionality of the Izzo Alex Duetto II

• Water Source Switch: Easily flip between a main line or reservoir source for your water by using the switch located under the drip tray. The Duetto II includes a hose used to hook your machine into your house's plumbing if you select the main line source for water.
• Multi-Functional PID: The primary control interface for the Duetto II, the PID allows you to control the following:
• Temperature of the brew/group boiler and the steam boiler -- no longer has a steam boiler pressure stat
• Change the machine between 15 amp and 20 amp - Please note you will need to purchase the convertor cord to operate this at 15 amps.
• Select Fahrenheit or Celsius
• Program the offset for both boilers, making it easy to increase the steam boiler pressure
• Turn either boiler off -- a great energy saving feature if, for example, you're making espresso only and don't want to use the steam boiler
• Commercial E61: This patented brew system is lever controlled and maintains excellent temperature consistency throughout your extraction.
• Stainless Steel: Everything, including the frame, is made from high-quality and durable stainless steel materials.
