Lavazza Crono 1 Semi-Automatic Coffee Machine

Distinguished by its Swiss and Italian styling and design, the Crono 1 Coffee Machine has a built in fully automatic professional cappuccinatore allowing you to make milk based coffees with the touch of a single button. This machines requires plumbing into a water main. The machine uses a regular 10 AMP power point.

The cappuccinatore takes milk directly from the milk container or milk fridge beside the machine transforming it into a thick creamy foam. Coffee is dispensed first and milk thereafter, directly into the cup. A milk fridge will be supplied with the coffee machine.

The machine has the ability to use single or double capsules. Double capsules allow you to make either strong coffees or coffees in mugs. The coffee machine can be pre dosed to make 8oz or 12oz coffees to suit your needs.

The benefits of plumbing in your coffee machine:

It is more convenient to use
The filter system on a plumbed machine is better resulting in less machine problems.
In some areas water quality can diminish the coffee quality so a in line filter is better
