The Isomac Venus espresso/cappuccino machine fills the void between lower cost
espresso machines and the higher priced professional grade machines. This means
it is perfect for home and small office use. While there are a few direct competitors
priced a little lower than the Venus, this machine stands out because of it
slightly larger size and top to bottom stainless steel construction. The Venus
is a beautiful machine to say the least. The polished housing, chrome cup railing
on top, and the heavy-duty switches and indicator lights make the fancy professional
grade machines look over their shoulder. But Isomac did not skimp on the inside
of the machine either. A look under the hood shows a large brass boiler, brass
fittings, stainless steel mesh protecting the water tubing, and top grade wiring
and electrical fittings.
Polished stainless-steel body and frame for added durability
Heavy Duty Pump - The Venus uses a 52-watt vibratory pump that provides the
exact pressures needed to deliver perfect espresso. The lines from the pump,
to the boiler, and from the boiler to the grouphead are all commercial grade
items, with a big, beefy piece of cast brass helping to complete the trip. Other
machines may feel the need to advertise their BAR rating; the Venus doesn't
have to - it's a given the machine has the power to spare.
The Isomac Venus espresso maker features
a chrome plateded brass grouphead and a 10-ounce solid brass boiler for added
temperature stability. An Expansion relief-valve allows excess pump pressure
to be redirected to the water reservoir. A three (3) way solenoid valve on the
grouphead allows the filter handle to be removed immediately after the espresso
extraction is completed. The pressure gauge on the front of the machine will
monitor brewing pressures to ensure you are getting the best espresso shot at
8-9 bar.
