Krups Orchestro Dialog FNF2

For all those who have sighed and shaken their heads following their umpteenth failed attempt to produce that perfect cup of espresso, we would like to recommend the Krups Orchestro Dialog FNF2. This is a fully automatic beans-to-cup espresso machine that will set you well on your way to making cup after cup of impeccable espresso.

The main difference between the ordinary Orchestro and the Orchestro Dialog is that the latter has a digital control panel that contains additional programmable features. This panel allows you to select coffee strength and water temperature, and also gives you access to several other useful functions. It also allows you to program the machine to automatically switch on or off at a certain time, bears a digital display unit, prompts you when it is time to either de-scale, clean, empty coffee grounds or even refill the beans hopper.

The auto-cappuccino in the Krups Orchestro Dialog FNF2 also makes frothing milk ridiculously easy: just fill the milk container, connect the auto-cappuccino device and frothed milk is dispensed into a waiting cup – so even if you have no special frothing skills, you can still look forward to a perfect espresso or café latte.

Using your Krups Orchestro Dialog FNF2, you can make one-two cups in a single operation, which means a volume between 30 and 250 ml with 7 to 14 g of ground coffee according to preference. The espresso maker’s ‘Thermobloc’ technology means that it has a 15-bar pump for rapid water heating, and reaches a constant and optimal temperature at 92°C.

And that is not all. The Krups Orchestro Dialog FNF2 has a built-in burr grinder with a capacity of 250 g and six grinding positions for fresh, quality coffee in every cup. Added to this is a separate ground coffee holder with detection system, and an Ultra Aroma system that ensures exceptional coffee extraction through a unique pre-brewing system. This means you get deliciously creamy foam every time. Then there is the Aqua filter system, which eliminates both chlorine and scale for purer water and tastier espresso, as well as ensures longer life for the machine.

Finally, there are such unique features as selection between normal and strong for one cup and normal strength for two cups, adjustable coffee delivery height to allow the use of any type of cup, and integral automatic stop for greater safety.
