Excellent Performance
The
Master 5000 has an initial heat up time of just over two minutes. It brews
espresso using a 15 BAR pressure pump. It will brew a single shot of espresso in
15 seconds, and a double shot in 20 seconds, however these times can be
programmed to your liking. Heat up time for the steam function is 45 seconds
with the average heat time for an 8 ounce cappuccino being 1 minute and a 12
ounce latte being 1.5 minutes.
Sophisticated, Yet Easy To
Operate
The Master 5000 was designed so that anyone, regardless of their experience
could easily master the art of making great coffee house drinks. The control
panel has just 2 buttons, which include one programmable button for brewing
(small coffee or espresso and a large coffee or espresso) and a steam activation
button. It also has a dial that controls the strength of your coffee from
strong (espresso) to mild for coffee. The knob on the side of the machine
controls the flow of steam or instant hot water depending on what mode you are
in. A series of lights clearly indicate what mode you are in and the status of
the machine.
Press the
brew button once for a single espresso or coffee. Pushing the brew button twice
quickly will put a double shot of espresso or coffee in your cup. Utilize the
flexibility of this machine’s brewing options by varying the water volume up to
7 ounces per brewing cycle. By experimenting with the water volume and coffee
blends you can fine-tune your coffee.
Make Perfect Foam like The
Pros
The
Master 5000 is equipped with a steam wand and milk-frothing tip that insures
loads of foam for lattes and cappuccino with little or no effort on your part.
You can also remove the frothing tip and use the standard steam wand if you
prefer to have more control over the consistency of the foam. The steam wand is
conveniently located and swivels to accommodate frothing pitchers ranging from
12 oz. to 20 oz. in size.
The
Master 5000 is equipped with an instant hot water feature. By turning the
steam/hot water knob on the right side of the machine hot water will dispense
from the steam wand. Use this feature for tea, Americano, and pre-warming or
rinsing your cup.
2 Programmable Buttons for
Cup Selection
Just two
buttons control coffee brewing. One is for brewing a small cup of coffee or
espresso and one is for larger cups of coffee or long espresso (known as a lungo).
You can also program the volume of coffee that the machine will brew for each
coffee button. This program will remain until it is changed, even if the power
is turned off. When the coffee button is pressed, the machine will grind just
the right amount of coffee beans, place the grounds into the brewing system,
extract your coffee or espresso, and clean up after itself in one complete step.
By pressing the brew button once, the machine will make one espresso or coffee
and if pressed twice, two shots of espresso or larger cup of coffee.
Espresso, Cafe Crème or
Coffee?
The
machine can do it so why try making a Café Créme! It’s simple with this
machine’s ability to adjust for the coarseness of the ground, allowing you to
brew a Café Créme, often referred to as Swiss brewed coffee for the country that
made it popular. Here’s the difference. Espresso uses a finer ground bean to
create a dense pack that restricts the water flow through the grounds, hence the
very strong, intense flavor. It also takes a little longer to brew, anywhere
between 15 to 20 seconds for 1.5 ounces.
For a
Café Créme, (or crema coffee) a courser ground is needed, a simple adjustment on
this great machine. This coarser ground allows for more water to pass through
faster, resulting in a frothy layer of coffee that floats on the top, the crema.
Aromatic and rich, it is not as intense a coffee as the espresso but equally
delicious. Most people gracefully retire their drip coffee maker after they try
café crème coffee from a super automatic espresso/coffee machine. This feature
also makes the Solis Master 5000 a natural replacement for traditional coffee
makers.
Coffee Strength
Function
You can also adjust the dosage
of ground coffee that the machine uses each time it makes a cup of coffee from
6-9 grams. The average shot of espresso uses about 7 grams of ground coffee.
Pre-infusion Brew System
Aroma and maximum flavor
extraction is insured thanks to the pre-brew system. The two-step pre-infusion
cycle moistens and conditions the ground coffee, which maximizes flavor
extraction to increase the thick crema on your espresso. The machine
accomplishes this by infusing (or presoaking) the fresh coffee grounds with a
dash of hot water for 2 seconds. Thereafter, it completes the brewing process by
infusing the remainder of the predetermined water through the coffee grounds.
The result is a superior cup of espresso or coffee.
Additional Product Features, Maintenance & Information
Professional Quality Adjustable Coffee Grinder
All Solis super automatic
coffee machines feature a high quality coffee grinder. Residing just below the
coffee bean hopper, when activated it draws coffee beans into its Swiss made,
hardened steel cutting wheels. The main cutting wheel is (or what is called a
conical, (cone shaped), burr grinding wheel. Conical burr grinders are ideal for
coffee grinding because they are relatively quiet, powerful, tough, and
virtually maintenance free when used in super automatic espresso machines. The
grinder has 18 settings so you can fine tune the setting based on your coffee
blend.
Built in 2 Quart Water Tank
The Master 5000 has a large 2
quart water reservoir that can be removed for refilling. It sits on the top left
of the machine and it can be removed easily, even under limited height overhead
cabinets.
For Great Flavor Extraction; A Powerful Pump
This 15 BAR pump delivers more
than enough pressure to pull the maximum flavor and aroma from the coffee beans.
Coffee Bean Storage & Internal Coffee Grounds
Waste Box
The coffee bean hopper holds up
to ½ pound of coffee beans. The machine can brew up to 20 cups of coffee or
espresso before the internal coffee grounds waste box must be emptied. The dump
box slides out of the left side of the machine.
Heavy Duty Heating System
The Master 5000 comes with a
durable 1250-watt boiler.
Adjustable Beverage Dispensing Nozzle
What’s more, the spout where
the coffee is dispensed is adjustable between 3 and 4 inches to accommodate
small and large coffee cups.
Cup Storage Area
This machine features a cup
storage area located on top of the machine. Remove the lid to expose the cup
slots.
Cleaning & Maintenance
In order to keep the inside of
your machine healthy the Master 5000 must be cleaned periodically. Scale buildup
from naturally occurring minerals in your water can build up on sensitive
components like the inside of the boiler, which left unchecked can cause
considerable damage to the machine. By descaling your machine every two-three
months, your machine will last for many trouble-free years.
General maintenance is simple.
Weekly rinsing of the internal brewing system which removes in just a few
seconds and rinses under the faucet, descaling 3-4 times per year and occasional
emptying of the drip pan that slides from the front of the machine are all it
takes to keep your Palazzo running smooth.
Installation & Accessories
This
machine comes completely self-contained to make all of your favorite drinks. A
cleaning brush, cleaning tablets, brew system maintenance tool, and detailed
step-by-step instructions are also included.
