A barista will quickly tell you that the most important ingredient to deliver an amazing crema, is to not only use fresh beans, but also to grind them as close to the time of use as possible. Actually, it's best to limit the time between grinding and extraction to seconds, not minutes. That's why we've built a grinder into the Fresca Espresso Machine™. The in-built conical burr grinder allows you to grind only what you need directly into your espresso filter. It's fully adjustable in grind size and dose, so you can tweak to taste. With impressive steam pressure, our best temperature control, and dual and single wall filters, you'll move from novice to barista in no time at all.
