Solis Espresso Machine Information
If you own a Solis espresso machine, you own one of the world’s most sophisticated yet simplistic espresso makers. These machines, manufactured in Switzerland, are perfect for the novice coffee makers, but they are enhanced by special features that seasoned espresso veterans utilize and appreciate.
Solis produces several fully automatic espresso machines; the Solis Palazzo is one of the most popular of these models. This machine can create a variety of beverages in a very short amount of time. It doesn’t matter if you are in the mood for coffee, espresso, or cappuccino; the Palazzo will create all these favorites and more. Since the Palazzo is fully automatic, it does all the legwork required to make a coffee drink for you. By pressing one button, you will have accomplished the grinding of your coffee beans, placing the grounds into the brewing chamber, the entire brewing process, and the cleaning of the machine post-brew. Preparing coffee could not get any easier! There are more convenience-centered features that the Solis Palazzo boasts. There are two buttons that the user can program to brew their desired amount of coffee. No need to worry if your favorite coffee mug will adapt to the Palazzo, because the Palazzo easily adapts to the needs of its users. These programmable buttons save the brew amounts, even if you unplug your machine, so that you do not have to re-enter this information each time you prepare a drink.
The Palazzo’s built-in grinder is adjustable, so that you can control the coarseness of your coffee grinds. This will easily allow you to create fine grounds for espresso as well as coarser grounds for less intense drinks. Another way to adjust the strength of your coffee is by using another one of the Palazzo’s features that lets you determine how many grams of coffee you want to use per serving (anywhere from 6 to 9 grams). If you prefer purchasing pre-ground coffee, you can insert these grounds into the Palazzo through a funnel. Some of the Palazzo’s countless other features are a steam wand that will begin producing steam within 10 seconds, and a hot water dispenser for tea and other hot beverages.
If you think the Palazzo sounds complicated, you will be glad to know that there are only five buttons on the operating panel. These control the programmable drink volumes, steam, hot water, and the Palazzo’s cleaning function. The Solis Palazzo costs around $1000, but its special features and benefits are priceless.
If you enjoy operating more traditional espresso machines, Solis has two pump espresso makers that will suit your tastes. The Solis SL 70 is a semi-automatic machine that allows the user to control the beverage-making process. There is an espresso flow switch and a steam switch that allows you to turn the pump and steam controls off when you have the amount of espresso you desire. The Solis SL 90 is an automatic espresso maker, but with similar features as the SL 70. Both the SL 70 and SL 90 can take coffee grounds or espresso pods; there is a basket where pods can be placed in both machines.
No matter your skill level or espresso making preferences, a Solis espresso machine will help you make that perfect beverage time and time again.
