The Solis Maestro PLUS Conical Burr Coffee Grinder ($149) and the Solis Crema SL-70 Espresso Machine ($425) will save their user thousands of dollars. Anyone who has ever tasted a decent latte, cappuccino, or espresso has to admit that most home-brewed coffee pales by comparison. This reality explains the ubiquitous presence throughout the United States of Starbucks® and other similar coffee bars. Of course, the drawback to this awareness is the typical $3 per day cost of starting your day with a decent cup of coffee. Solis of Switzerland now offers an opportunity to start your day at home with a great latte or other espresso drink. While the initial cost of a good quality coffee bean grinder and espresso machine may seem a bit self-indulgent, when you calculate the annual savings from brewing your own coffee there is no reason to feel guilty when you purchase a grinder and espresso machine for yourself or as a gift. An additional benefit is that all Solis products are offered with unlimited toll free technical support service (877.701.2020) and a limited one-year parts and labor warranty.

Solis Maestro PLUS Conical Burr Coffee Grinder enables you to precision fine-tune your espresso grind settings. The Maestro is designed and assembled in the USA using many quality components from Switzerland. Innovative features include smooth, quiet operation which is the result from motor isolation; conical burrs that give a fine grind critical for perfect espresso extraction, over 50% greater grind adjustment compared to other grinders in its class, ranging from a fine Turkish grind to a nice even French coffee press grind, and a special gear reduction for slow rotation, ensuring the retention of the aroma and flavor of the freshly ground beans. It features a powerful 160 watt electric motor that won’t bog down when grinding at fine settings.

Detailed Product Features:

• Swiss Made Grinding Wheels: Conical burr grinders are exceptional at producing consistent grinds, from very fine to very coarse, and they are particularly tough and long lasting.
• Grind Coffee For Any Brewing Method: Choose among 40 grind settings by turning the bean hopper to the desired level. Easy to read markings at the base of the bean hopper indicate the proper setting for the coffee brewer you are using.
• Automatic & Manual Operation: Rare on any coffee grinder priced under $300, the Maestro has a timer switch that allows you to set the grinder to automatically control the grind duration so you don't have to monitor the grinder yourself.
• Easy to Clean: You can perform a thorough cleaning to remove built up coffee grounds around the main cutting wheel and then reassemble the grinder in only 8 seconds.
• Large Coffee Bean Hopper: It will hold enough beans to brew several full pots of coffee or 20 shots of espresso.
• Anti Static Design: Low static helps reduce coffee shavings from becoming airborne and making a mess on your counter.

The Solis Crema SL 70 Semiautomatic Traditional Pump Driven Espresso Machine will, after a little practice, deliver perfect espresso, cappuccino, lattes, café mochas and other coffee house drinks with ease. The large brass boiler creates powerful steam in no time for foaming milk to make lattes. Enjoy easy-to-use controls, cup warming feature, 3 liter water tank, 19 BAR water pump, and space saving design. The SL 70 has an initial heat up time of just over two minutes. It brews a single shot of espresso in 15-20 seconds, and a double shot in 20-25 seconds. You can foam milk for an 8 oz. latte in 58 seconds, and a 12 oz. latte in 96 seconds. According to the manufacturer, this out does the performance of any other machine in its class.

Detailed Product Features:

• Semiautomatic Espresso & Coffee Brewing Control: This means you have complete control over the brewing process. The SL 70 features only three switches and a multifunction control knob. Lights indicate when the boiler is at the proper temperature for either brewing espresso, dispensing instant hot water, or steaming.
• Milk Frothing: A large boiler for a machine in its class allows you to froth enough milk for two standard cappuccinos in 40 seconds and the average latte in 1.5 minutes. Many competing machines will take over two minutes to do the same.
• Perfect Espresso Made Easy: Solis included advanced pressurized 53mm, stainless steel filter baskets (to hold the pre-ground coffee), which make the production of espresso easy. The SL 70 also accepts non-pressurized filter baskets which can be purchased from many online retailers or Solis.
• Large Water Reservoir: According to the manufacturer, the Solis SL Series machines have the largest water reservoir of any home espresso machine. The reservoir features a special valve on the bottom that permits you to remove it from the machine with water still in it.
• Quiet, Powerful Pump for Maximum Flavor: Despite the fact the SL 70 features a powerful 19 BAR maximum rated water pump, it is by far one of the quietest pump driven espresso machines on the market. The quality of Swiss engineering and design are immediately apparent from the first moment you use the machine.
• Warm Espresso Cups Are Essential: A cup warming shelf on top of the machine uses low radiant heat from the boiler to take the chill away from your espresso cups, thus allowing freshly brewed espresso to stay warmer.
