The Solis Crema SL 90 Semiautomatic Traditional Pump Driven Espresso Machine is a traditional espresso machine with a bit of cutting edge technology built in. This home and office espresso machine can make all of your favorite coffee house drinks like cappuccino, lattes, café mochas and more with little to no effort. A specially designed coffee basket ensures the proper espresso extraction regardless of the grind of the coffee beans or tamping pressure of the coffee grounds, thus yielding a perfect layer of thick golden crema (foam), which is the hallmark of perfectly extracted espresso.

The Solis Crema SL 90 automatic espresso machine uses a microprocessor controlled programmable, water flow meter. The microprocessor automatically measures the water that flows through the coffee grounds. When the brew button is pushed, the pump will infuse hot water into the coffee grounds and then automatically stop based on your preferences for a superior espresso drink

Choose from 12 preset brewing volumes from .75 ounces up to 6 ounces, for the perfect shot of espresso. The computer control also keeps the brewing temperature to within 2 degrees (Fahrenheit) of the optimum brewing temperature. The Solis Crema SL 90 features flush mounted, touch sensitive buttons and a dual function, knob for steam/hot water control for easy operating.

The SL 90 Espresso Machine has an initial heat up time of just over two minutes. It will brew a single shot of espresso in 15-20 seconds and a double shot in 20-25 seconds. Initial heat up time for the steaming function is 48 seconds, with an average heat time of 58 seconds for an 8-ounce cappuccino and a 12-ounce latte takes 96 seconds. These are impressive performance figures for a espresso machine in this class.

Equipped with a pre-infusion coffee conditioning system, the Solis Crema SL 90 Espresso Machine has a microprocessor controlled pump that will infuse a small amount of hot water into the coffee grounds and then pause for two seconds. When the pre-infusion cycle completes, brewing resumes and the extraction of espresso will be superior to other traditional espresso machines.

The most popular drinks at the local coffee bar include lattes, cappuccino, and café mochas. The Barista behind the counter is able to froth milk quickly and consistently because their espresso machine has a large boiler. The Solis Crema SL 90 too, has a large 9 oz. boiler, made of durable brass allowing you to froth enough milk for two standard cappuccinos in 40 seconds and the average latte in 1.5 minutes. Many competing espresso and cappuccino machines will take over two minutes to do the same.

The Solis Crema SL 90 Espresso machine is the only traditional pump espresso machine that allows you to simply turn the steam/hot water control knob on the right side of the machine to obtain instant hot water. Use the hot water for making an Americano (espresso with hot water added) or tea.

The portafilter is the removable part of the Solis SL90 Espresso Machine that holds the filter baskets during the brewing process. Made of chrome plated brass the SL Portafilter features a heavy duty plastic handle. The handle is equipped with a retaining clip that prevents the filter basket from inadvertently falling out of the portafilter while discarding the spent coffee grounds.

Solis included pressurized 53mm, stainless steel filter baskets (to hold the pre-ground coffee), which make the production of espresso easy. They are designed so that little or no attention has to be paid to the grind consistency of your coffee beans. Regardless of the "grind and tamp" of the coffee grounds, the espresso will come out perfect since these baskets insure that the proper pressure is applied to grounds during extraction. The Solis Crema SL 90 Semiautomatic Espresso Machine also accepts non-pressurized filter baskets.

The Solis SL 90 includes a built in coffee tamper. Although the special filter baskets all but eliminate the need to tamp the coffee grounds, the built in tamper is necessary in order to "level" the grounds prior to brewing. The tamper fits the filter baskets perfectly, eliminating the need to buy a separate tamper.

Solis includes a special espresso pod filter basket with each SL 90. Espresso pods are single serving, perfectly proportioned servings of ground coffee that are encased in a round paper packet. Simply place an espresso pod in the basket and insert the portafilter into the machine. When you have finished brewing espresso, remove the pod and discard.

Despite the fact the Solis Crema SL 90 Semiautomatic Espresso Machine features a powerful 19 BAR maximum rated water pump, it is by far one of the quietest pump driven espresso machines on the market. The quality of Swiss engineering and design are immediately apparent from the first moment you use the SL90. While most pump driven espresso machines can stop a conversation in its tracks, you can whisper and still be heard next to this machine. The 19 BAR pump insures that there will be plenty of pressure to adequately force water though the finely ground coffee, thus resulting in an excellent espresso.

The Solis Crema SL 90 Semiautomatic Traditional Pump Driven Espresso Machine is a complete home and office espresso machine that comes with everything you need to make great coffee house drinks. Included with the SL90 are single shot and double shot stainless filter baskets, espresso pod filter basket, measuring spoon for ground coffee, detailed instructions, and espresso machine cleaner.
