Espressione’s Café Chic is compact and powerful, its 15-bar pump ready to brew single or double shots using pods or ground coffee. All the details are right – from the Maxi Cappuccino attachment for easy foaming and steaming, to the ARIETE Thermocream system, which ensures proper brewing pressure for espresso. There’s nothing more fun than being a home barista – get ready for espressos, cappuccinos, lattes, americanos, and macchiatos all in the comfort of your kitchen.

The Café Chic is housed in anthracite colored ABS plastic with metal accents and a clear plastic water reservoir. It’s small enough to fit comfortably into different kitchen spaces or dorm rooms while the sturdy 8 oz boiler provides the hot water you need. Its rounded design sets it apart from other espresso machines, giving it a unique look.


Press the on/off button on the left side of the Café Chic to turn the machine on and start warming up. The on light and the heating indicator lamp will illuminate, and once the heating indicator lamp turns off the machine is ready to brew. Insert coffee (pods or ground) into the portafilter, lock it in, and press the coffee dispensing button for rich, hot espresso. Press the coffee dispensing button again to stop the flow.
The versatile Café Chic allows you to brew using pods or ground coffee. Pods are pre-packaged single servings of ground and tamped espresso – they’re known for cutting down on messes, and you don’t have a grinder to worry about. Ground coffee gives you more control over the fineness of the grind, tamping pressure, and amount of coffee per shot. Whether you prefer the convenience of pods or the control grinding your own coffee provides, the Café Chic will pull a great shot.
An additional Thermocream plastic disc and silicon ring help produce thicker crema on top of your espresso shots. Crema is golden, marbleized foam produced naturally when espresso is brewed at the right grind fineness and pressure. Crema is the mark of a flavorful, well-pulled shot and is an essential part of latte art.
To steam or froth milk using the Maxi Cappuccino attachment, press the “steam” button, and the steam indicator light and the heating indicator light will illuminate. When the heating indicator light turns off, you know the machine is ready to steam. Turn the steam dispensing knob to begin steaming, and to stop steaming, close the steam dispenser knob and press the steam button again.
For guests or other housemates who prefer tea, cider, or cocoa to espresso drinks, the Café Chic’s hot water dispenser comes in handy. When the machine is heated to normal brewing temperature, press the coffee dispensing switch, then immediately turn the steam-dispensing knob for hot water. Nearly 7 oz of hot water can be dispensed at once from the Maxi Cappuccino attachment.
Located on the top of the machine, this metal cup warmer is passively heated by residual heat from the boiler, and is a stylish and practical place to store and display your cups. Brewing espresso into a cold cup can cause it temperature to drop rapidly, so the best way to preserve the temperature of the espresso is to brew it into a warm cup.
The removable clear plastic 42 oz reservoir is located on the right side of the machine. For the best tasting drinks, clean it periodically with a sponge or damp cloth.
The drip tray and cover are easily removable for cleaning. Empty the metal drip try when it's full, and clean the drip tray and cover under running water when needed.
