The CASABREWS 5418 PRO is a compact semi-automatic espresso machine designed for fast home espresso preparation. Its Flashheat system reaches brewing temperature in about 5 seconds, while the 20-bar pump and PID temperature control help produce consistent espresso extraction.
A professional steam wand switches between brewing and steaming in just 3 seconds, making back-to-back milk drinks more convenient. The built-in pressure gauge also helps users monitor extraction, although the machine only works with ground coffee and does not include a built-in grinder or cup warmer.
