MOKITA
The
Mokita Professionnal 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 Professional, this machine
stands out because of it slightly larger size and top to bottom stainless
steel construction. The Professional 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. Now with a higher temperature steaming thermostat
which will provide greater steaming power.

Heavy Duty
Pump - The Professional 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 group head 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.
