New machine features

New steam and hot water handles - we have redesigned the steam and hot water handles.  The new handles have a superb feel and have our own unique centre caps to retain the elegance that Giotto is known for.

Control panel - Now, a low water level in the reservoir is indicated by the flashing of the power lamp. Of course the pump is still disabled should the water level become critical.  Additionally we have a new pressure gauge with a large 68mm diameter, a stronger and more robust ignition switch.

Newly designed feet - 125mm of surface contact on each foot ensures stability. The machines now sit at a height of 30mm which enhances the visual presence of Giotto.

Drain Tray modifications - New drain tray lines now follow the contours of the machines, adding to the elegance that is Giotto. Drain trays now slide out to eliminate water slop when being emptied.

Commercially specified pressure stat - at last a domestic espresso machine that has a pressurestat with the accuracy of 0.035 degrees. Temperature control as good as it gets, with the addition of a fully commercial pressure stat. Technology that in the past was reserved for commercial machines only.

Enhanced temperature control - we have increased the diameter of both the inlet and outlet group pipes which increases water circulation and aids thermal retention within the group.  Now Giotto features group circulation pipes of 10mm.  We have also fitted a restrictor into the group inlet tube which adds control and stability to the group water temperature.

New cup frame surround - The retro beauty of the famous espresso machines of the 50's and 60's has been retained with the Giotto cup frames.  The new cup frame has a thickness of 5.5mm and is now firmly secured in four fixing points.
