Capresso EC300 Espresso Machine Description

For those new to espresso, the realm of the espresso machine can be a little daunting. Some espresso machines, while capable of producing an insanely good cup of espresso, resemble futuristic machines that run on a flux capacitor. The point is, not everyone has a desire to control every aspect of the espresso process. In that context, Capresso has come out with a supremely simple and effective espresso machine that’s made for someone looking for barista-quality espresso done simply. The interface is intuitive and consists of a large knob on the front used to switch between brewing and frothing. In a world of sometimes unwieldy frothing wands, it’s fortunate that this Capresso espresso machine’s frothing wand is easy to use as well.

The EC300 features preinfusion which wets the grounds under very low-pressure water prior to brewing. The soaking of the beans before brewing ensures even extraction and resulting in better flavor.

Everything with this machine feels very well executed from the smooth turn of the portafilter into lock position to the impressively small size of the machine itself. The heavy duty portafilter comes with two sieves for making up to two espressos at a time. The removable water tank holds 42 oz which is surprisingly large given how compact the machine is. Anyone looking to conserve space (and honestly who isn’t) will appreciate the EC300 being very countertop-friendly at 12’h x 7.5’w x 12’d. It will fit in even smaller kitchens.

The Capresso EC300 espresso machine also comes with built-in preheated warming platform which just adds to the convenience of this machine.
