🔥 Advanced Stainless Steel Boiler

Engineered for performance and durability, the Café PRO’s cast stainless steel boiler ensures rapid heat-up times, superior temperature stability, and corrosion resistance. Powered by a 1050W heating element and a 41W Ulka vibrating pump, it maintains optimal brewing temperatures throughout the entire extraction process—ensuring every shot is piping hot and full of flavor. ☕💨

This intelligent system activates heat during brewing, preventing temperature drops and guaranteeing consistent results shot after shot.

🎛️ Easy, Intuitive Controls

Designed for simplicity, the Café PRO’s LED-illuminated interface makes espresso brewing foolproof:

• 🔵 Blue light = brewing mode

• ⚪ White light = steaming mode

• ✨ Flashing light = heating in progress

Just turn the center dial left to brew espresso or right to steam milk. Effortless, elegant, and built for daily use.

🥛 Commercial-Style Power Frother

Recreate café-style drinks at home with the articulating steam wand, featuring a single-hole frothing tip for precision control. Whether you prefer creamy microfoam for lattes or rich froth for cappuccinos, the Café PRO lets you craft milk drinks with professional texture and temperature. 🫧

🔸 Dual Portafilter System

The Capresso Café PRO includes two stainless steel portafilters to suit every skill level:

• ☕ Double-Spout Filter: Perfect for beginners, this pressurized portafilter ensures optimal brewing pressure for one or two shots—no perfect tamp required.

• 🔍 Bottomless Portafilter: Designed for aspiring baristas, it lets you observe the extraction process, adjust your technique, and achieve thicker crema, higher temperatures, and richer flavor.

This dual setup helps you train, refine, and perfect your espresso craft over time.

💪 Premium Stainless Steel Build

From its stainless steel housing to its die-cast boiler and precision portafilters, the Café PRO is built for durability and style.

Using your Cafe PRO Espresso Machine - Tips for obtaining the BEST brew:

Full instruction manual for the Capresso Cafe PRO can be found HERE

• Always use fresh, high-quality coffee, preferably ground right before brewing. This helps to preserve taste and freshness.
• Use "espresso grind" coffee for pump espresso machines which is finely ground with a similar texture to fine sugar.
• Store your coffee in a dark, airtight container and leave it in a cool place (cabinet or pantry). Do not store coffee in the refridgerator! Only store unopened bags of whole coffee beans in the freezer and defrost before grinding.
• Always brew espresso into a pre-warmed cup. This helps prevent the coffee from souring as it comes into contact with the cold cup. This can be accomplished by leaving the cup on the warming platform or by running hot water into the cup before brewing.
• Always purge the brew head and frothing wand to ensure hottest performance.
• For best flavor, drink the espresso immediately after it is brewed.
• Follow all cleaning, maintenance and decalcifying instructions to ensure a great cup of espresso each and every time!

Cleaning and maintenance

• Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
• Do not use harsh abrasives to clean. Wipe down the appliance housing with a damp cloth. (NOTE: Do not clean with alcohol or solvent cleanser
• Wipe the brew head with a damp cloth. (DANGER: Danger of burning or scalding! Allow appliance to cool completely before cleaning!)
• Rinse the water tank, the grid and drip tray regularly with water.
• Empty the drip dray regularly and clean with hot soapy water.
• Detach the 2-cup sieve from the double spout portafilter or the 1-cup/bottomless sieve by turning it clockwise, remove coffee residue with a stiff bristled brush. If any coffee particles remain, they can be removed with a pin.
• If the inner screen inside the brew head accumulates coffee oils, it can be unscrewed for a thorough cleaning using a screwdriver. Ensure it is attached back onto the machine the same way after cleaning.
• Clean the seal around the brew head with a damp cloth and always keep it clean to maintain the life of your machine.
• Clean the frothing wand after every use.
• Remove the tip of the frothing wand and soak in hot water. Clean the threads of the frothing tip with a hot damp cloth. Regularly inspect the opening of the frothing wand to ensure there is no milk build up. Regularly inspect the o-ring of the frothing tip to guarantee its integrity. If there is any damage (rips or tears) to the o-ring call Customer Service to order a replacement. Screw the frothing tip (with o-ring) back on to the frothing wand. (NOTE: Do not operate the machine's frothing wand without the frothing tip and o-ring in place.)
