while an espresso is being brewed! No need to wait for the boiler to
heat up whenever steam is required like on other machines.

- Professional Brewing
Chamber:
The patented brewing chamber of the model Opal comes with a capacity
of 6 to 16 grams of coffee. This enables the Opal to brew two cups
of coffee in one brewing cycle resulting in significant coffee
savings! No other machine has this capability!
|

The Opal can be programmed to turn off automatically if the machine
has not been in use for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 hours. No need to worry if
the machine has not been turned off it will do it automatically.
This feature can also be disabled.
|

The Opal can be rinsed automatically by pushing the rinsing button.
|
- Sanitizing and Cleaning:
Each machine comes with 10 cleaning and sanitizing tablets. This
tablet (phosphate free) can be used in conjunction with the
automatic cleaning cycle in order to sanitize the entire brewing
chamber. This eliminates any oil residues from the coffee and keeps
your machine clean and in good working order.
- The opal will automatically signal with the corresponding
indicator light whenever a cleaning cycle is due.
|
- Descaling:
We recommend to use bottled water or filtered and softened water
from the tap. This will ensure years of trouble free operation
without scale built up!
Use the automatic descaling feature in conjunction with descaling
detergent (available at most hardware stores) to remove any scale
built up.
- The opal will automatically signal with the corresponding
indicator light whenever a descaling cycle is due.

The Opal can be connected to a smart card vending system. Download
