The useful details
Know what
you’re getting.
The Compact Barista makes espresso from ground coffee using a 52 mm group handle and the included one-cup and two-cup dual-wall filter baskets. A thermoblock heats the water, while the pump is rated at 15 bar with a pressure relief system. The slim 138 mm width helps it fit on a crowded kitchen bench.
Press the one-cup or two-cup button for preset 30 ml or 60 ml pours, or programme the volumes within the manual’s ranges. Pre-infusion wets the grounds before full extraction. The steam wand textures milk for a cappuccino or latte and can also dispense hot water using the control dial.
The 1 L water tank removes for filling. The supplied milk jug and combined tamper/measuring spoon support setup, while coffee, milk and water are provided separately. Purge the group head and steam wand, rinse the group handle and baskets after use, and follow the manual’s cleaning and descaling procedures. The machine and removable parts are not dishwasher safe.
Preset and programmable volumes are separate options: the manual permits 25–60 ml for a single and 60–110 ml for a double. The machine does not grind beans, so a grinder is separate if starting with whole beans. Its pump rating is not the pressure guaranteed at the coffee puck. Follow the cleaning routine rather than using a dishwasher for the removable parts.
