The equipment supplied with the Cellini:
The review machine had 2 portafilter
holders (good quality) with single and
double baskets, measuring scoop
,backflushing blind filter basket, steel
cleaning cloth and the usual plastic tamper
(usless).
Portafilters are heavyweight, very nice
quality and finished off with a chrome button
in the end of the handle.
The machine switches off the heating element when low on water, the boiler then goes cold and the pump
will not run. However, there is NO audible low water alarm, just 2 visible indications that the machine is off:
A flashing green power light and a slowly decending boiler pressure gauge..
I really think that in a machine of this value, an audible alarm should be added. It can be very irritating to go
to make a coffee only to find that the machine switched off the heating element an hour ago (perhaps due
to a boiler autofill after you leave the kitchen) and then have to wait 20 minutes or more for it to warm up.
It was nice to see a De-Aereator fitted to a
machine as these seem to have gone out of
fashion in recent years (it’s certainly
cheaper for the manufacturer to omit them!).
This device simply bleeds air from the outlet
side of the pump, this prevents air in the
system causing the OPV valve to screech
I believe the reason for OPVs screeching, is air in the brew line,
this is often caused by scale (the reasons for this are beyond
the scope of this review). However, the fitting of a de-aerator can
only be helpful should air enter the brew line for whatever reason.
