The dual boiler system features a 0.3 liter coffee boiler capacity. The coffee boiler is made brass which retains heat better than stainless steel. Typically brass boilers are more susceptible to limescale compared to stainless steel boilers. We highly recommend utilizing the water softener included with the machine. The steam boiler has a 0.6 liter (600 ml) capacity. Made of the quality stainless steel. A truly made boiler will out perform any thermoblock typically found on competitive models in Elizabeth’s price class! 1000 watts. Electricity alternates between boilers, unless the steam boiler is off.
