Blaupunkt CMP312 Black Coffee Maker

Product Information

The only negative is that you're voiding your warranty by modding, so you may want to use your classic for a bit first just to make sure there are no issues you'll need the warranty for before starting with mods.

The durable Italian pump reaches pressures up to 15 bar, ensures that the coffee does not differ in taste from the one served in good cafés. Steam is ready almost instantly after you've pulled the shot, which reduces the time you have to wait for your coffee. In a nutshell, I think this is a stunning little espresso machine, and don't let the word “little” fool you, it has a lot of power, both when it comes to espresso, and milk steaming. Thanks to the function of moussage we are able to create for the coffee well prepared, heated by the milk foam. In the future if you have any issues with anything Electronic or Appliance related them please do get in touch.There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. All these very cheap machines are very similar, they have 15 bar pumps, and from what I can gather although the brands never mention it in their blurb, they do have some form of overpressure valve but it's set high, probably somewhere between 12-14 bar.

If you want not just good, but perfect milk texture for better potential latte art and more velvety milkies, then you can steam your milk manually, and this machine is brilliant when it comes to learning to properly texture milk, a skill which is deceptively difficult to master.

The fact that it has a 52mm portafilter means you'll struggle to find a well-fitting tamper too, the best bet will be a 51mm tamper like this one, which actually has a diameter of 51mm, so you won't find as big a gap around the tamper as you will if you get one of the “51mm tampers” that are more like 50 – 50.
