The La Scala Carmen is a professional machine, where the components and design criteria have been chosen by giving priority to the performances and quality of the machine, rather than to its price. This claim is confirmed by the most important components of the machine which have been inspired by the basic structure of the famous E61, where the boiler is made of copper, the groups are made of solid brass and the infusion piston allows a top-quality coffee. Boiler and heat-exchangers are over-dimensioned to guarantee long life.
