The La San Marco Mini-85 espresso machine has proven itself to be a benchmark among home espresso machines. It is simply and cleverly designed and sports a steel chassis/frame with a baked enamel finish. Because of the instant heating technology employed by the Mini-85, there is no tank to pressurize, no waiting "between" tanks, and nothing to turn upside down.

The reservoir holds three liters of cold water and is removable. Due to the machine's relatively high wattage, the Mini-85 is a volcano of milk-steaming power. Well-finished and unobtrusive, it makes a pleasant addition to anyone's countertop. Color choices: Red & White or Brown & Chamois.

A "knock-box", tamper, dosing spoon, and alternate filter basket, and warranty are included. Competitive units sell for as much as $700.00. Because we are factory-direct importers, our price is $395.00. Through this offer, it is priced at only $295.00. The perfect companion grinder is the SM-45. It is a down-sized version of our SM-90 commercial espresso grinder, complete with a miniature "doser".

A strong motor turns the steel grinding burrs which are adjusted in a finely threaded collar, just like the big ones. A grinding "box" for drip coffee is also included. The grinder is color-coordinated with the machine and is priced at $149.00, or buy the machine and grinder package for only $444.00, (which includes our starter kit: two 14 oz. bags of Italian Roast Espresso, one steaming pitcher, and one 8 oz. bag of gourmet chocolate) you save over $100.00.
