Eagle One Prima<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Prima incorporates the latest espresso machine technologies from Victoria Arduino into an espresso machine that is simple to use, has full control over coffee-making parameters, is energy efficient and looks amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it’s a great gift<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love Prima because you can control all the parameters with the app \u2013 and then make espresso at the push of a button. Geekery and simplicity, combined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the boiler system and heat recovery unit combine to significantly reduce electricity use, making the Prima both great for making espresso and one of the greenest espresso options available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Espro Bloom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Espro’s new flat-bottom metal dripper incorporates a perforated base and also uses filter papers for even extraction and faster brewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it’s a great gift<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bloom ticks many of the brewing best practice boxes. It’s made from lightweight metal to absorbs less heat, the filter papers are corrugated and flat bottomed. Plus, don’t tell anyone else, but if you run out of filters you can still adequately bash out a brew because of the perforated base. Great tasting, easy to use, and almost foolproof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
