The Boma Espresso Coffee Maker (Model BM-6878) is a semi-automatic espresso machine designed for home users who want a balance between professional-grade pressure and user-friendly operation.
Here is the breakdown of its key features and specifications:
Core Specifications
Pressure Pump: 20-bar high-pressure infusion pump (ideal for creating a thick, rich crema).
Power: 850W.
Water Capacity: 1.6-liter detachable transparent water tank.
Voltage: 220-240V, 50-60Hz.
Boiler: Die-casting aluminum alloy boiler for fast heating.
Key Features
Dual-Cup Capability: Comes with a stainless steel filter capable of brewing 1 or 2 cups at a time.
Milk Frothing: Equipped with a built-in steam wand (frothing nozzle) for making cappuccinos, lattes, and flat whites.
Safety & Protection: Features an automatic pressure release safety valve and overpressure/overheating protection.
Cup Preheating: Includes a durable stainless steel cup mat on top to keep your espresso cups warm before brewing.
Memory Function: Allows you to customize and save the dispensing amount (ranging from 15ml to 200ml) for your preferred coffee strength.
Easy Cleaning: The drip tray and frothing nozzle are detachable, making post-brew cleanup straightforward.
Quick Usage Tips
First Use: It is recommended to run the machine twice with just clean water (no coffee) to remove any "new machine" odor.
Preheating: Wait for the "one cup" and "two cups" indicator lights to stop flashing and stay solid; this means the machine is ready.
Grind Size: For the best results with a 20-bar pump, use a fine espresso grind. If the grind is too coarse, the coffee will be watery; if too fine, it may clog the filter.
Maintenance: Descale the machine monthly if you live in a hard-water area to prevent mineral buildup in the aluminum boiler.
