Product details

  • COFFEE LOVE IN ITALIAN: The first Tchibo "Lapressa" portafilter machine combines decades of Tchibo coffee expertise with Italian flair and is ideal for preparing intense, aromatic espresso

  • TASTE THROUGH TECHNOLOGY: The machine heats up very quickly with the help of the thermoblock - the ground coffee is then pre-brewed using pre-infusion technology, which makes the espresso particularly flavourful

  • TWO SIEVE SIZES INCLUDED: Two sieves in different sizes enable the preparation of single or double espresso - even two espressos at the same time thanks to the double spout

The Tchibo "Lapressa" portafilter machine is the perfect preparation method for lovers of typical Italian coffee specialities. It can be used to create delicious espresso and espresso-based milk specialities according to your own wishes - making coffee preparation an experience for you. You have full control over the amount of coffee powder used, the amount of water used, the grind of the coffee and the temperature and consistency of the milk foam.

The machine comes with two double-walled filter inserts for the preparation of single or double espresso - and even simultaneously thanks to the double spout. The rotating milk frothing nozzle also enables the individual creation of milk specialities such as cappuccino, latte macchiato, espresso macchiato and flat white.

  • PositiveCatchy operating instructions
  • PositiveAdjustable espresso volume (very simple adjustment process)
  • PositiveExcellent quality of the espresso
  • PositiveSmooth operation
  • PositiveHigh espresso temperature (= 62.5°C)
  • NegativeThe quality of the material composite could be improved in parts of the model (e.g. on the laterally accessible rotary wheel)

This model from Tchibo stands out from the outside: It is so slim that there is plenty of room for manoeuvre when choosing a suitable place to place it. The model takes a while to really heat up, but in the end rewards consumers with a very solid espresso at a proper temperature.

With the Lapressa, Tchibo has an affordable portafilter machine on sale that doesn't need to hide from the competition. People with small kitchens will be particularly pleased with its compact dimensions. The espresso is prepared well. The milk frother is not quite as convincing.
