CHEF'S LINE
Indispensable helpers for the ambitious kitchen. With these appliances, everyone can go on a hunt for aromas and discover surprising flavours.
High-quality housing
The housing is made of high-quality, highly polished stainless steel and gets completed with side parts made of noble glass.
Designed and refined in Germany
As a product with the "Designed and refined in Germany" seal of approval, each "contessa" passes through a 100% single item check before delivery with subsequent "customizing" of the side parts in the Arnsberg main plant.
Passive holding plate
The holding plate is heated by the heat of the thermoblocks. The cups can be heated on the holding plate.
LCD Display
Programming and settings can be set via the display at the push of a button. The display can be set in two languages, German and English. The espresso machine has 4 pre-brewing programs (pre-infusion) and 7 steam programs (from dry to moist). Resetting is possible via factory setting.
No-Burn steam plant
The stainless steamer is equipped with an integrated hose. Through the hose, only the steam nozzle becomes hot. The steam plant has a 2-hole milk froth nozzle, can be swivelled through 360 ° and ensures the perfect milk froth. The milk foam nozzle is easy to clean and decalcify.
Removable 2,5 liter water tank
The 2.5 liter water tank is removable upwards. In the water tank is a lime filter which filters the water.
Brewing
The brewing head housing and the filter holder holder are made of high quality hard chromed brass.
The stainless steel control lever on the right of the brew group is for manual preparation of the espresso.
The professional pressure gauge is used to monitor the optimal brewing pressure. The optimum brewing pressure is between 8-12 bar. If the pressure is below or above the displayed range, the coffee may be undersized or over-extracted.
Triple-thermoblock
Two heating circuits allow you to simultaneously prepare espresso and milk froth. The thermoblocks are made of aluminum diecast with stainless steel pipes.
The power of the individual thermoblocks is 900 W (brewing water), 1400 W (steam) and 150 W (brewing head). The temperature is controlled electronically.
The powerful double-pump-systen with a 16 bars Ulka vibration pump operates in low-noise mode. The steam circuit gets only switched on when necessary. For the perfect milk foam the steam pump operates with max. 6 bars
The Graef espresso machine Contessa is available in classic design. It comes with a housing made of high-quality polished stainless steel; the side parts are made of black glass.
