Features:
Commercial Size and Style Portafilter Handle
Some of the most crucial elements for producing high quality espresso are influenced by the style, size and construction of the portafilter. Style: This portafilter is designed like a commercial machine and works in the same way. The coffee is ground fine and is tamped (pressed) firmly into place. Size: The size of the portafilter is also the same as a commercial machine. Is has a large diameter (58 mm) so that the water is distributed evenly over a wide surface area. Construction: The portafilter is made up of two parts, the handle and the filter holder. The handle is made of high quality plastic. The heavy chrome-plated brass filter holder keeps the temperature stable throughout the entire brewing process, therefore producing a quality cup of espresso.
Commercial Brewing Group
This is the portion of the machine that the portafilter locks into. It is made of chrome plated marine brass which provides a superior brewing environment through maximum heat stability and component longevity.
Boiler
The Livia 90 has a huge 1.5 liter copper boiler that will heat up in ten minutes. It can produce continuous espresso and has excellent steaming capacity. The commercial style heat exchanger boiler allows you to brew espresso and steam at the same time.
3 Way Solenoid Valve
The three-way solenoid valve is a commercial feature that relieves the water pressure off the coffee when the brew switch is turned off. This serves two functions; it dries out the coffee to prevent dripping and makes it easy to knock the coffee out of the portafilter with one knock.
High Quality Controls with Temperature Ready Light
The Livia 90 has two snap acting rocker arm switches with built in indicator lights. The switch on the left is the main power switch when turned on will immediately heat the boiler. The switch on the right is the brew/pump switch which is used to start and stop the brew process. The orange ready light to the right of the main power is will be on when the heating element in the boiler is on. This light will turn off when you are at brew/steam pressure.
Pressure Controller
The boiler temperature/pressure is controlled by an adjustable pressure stat for quick and accurate response. There is a built in gauge that takes an accurate read of the pressure not temperature to ensure the machine is ready to go.
Pressure Relief Valve and Anti Suction Valve
These two valves are very important features to the Livia 90. The pressure relief valve is a safety valve that will open and release pressure in the boiler if it is getting to high. The anti-suction valve prevents the possibility of milk be sucked up through the steam wand and into the boiler therefore contaminating it.
Electronic Controls
The water level in the boiler is controlled by an “Electronic Boiler Refill Control”. This control is hooked up to sensors in the boiler and water reservoir. It senses when the water level in the boiler is low and turns the pump on. The pump will take water from the reservoir and pump it into the boiler. It also acts as a safety and turns off the boiler if the level in the reservoir gets to low.
Cup Warmer
Preheating your cups is very important. The Livia 90 has a stainless steel cup warmer that will hold up to six espresso cups. It is a passive style cup warmer, which means the heat from the boiler heats it.
