The Silvercrest Espresso Machine has been added to the private product portfolio of Lidl in the UK to provide consumers with a way to access a design-conscious appliance for less. The unit is characterized by its retro-inspired design that will call to mind the look and feel of a Smeg espresso maker, while maintaining a price point that's decidedly less.
The appliance is equipped with a 15-bar pump pressure that will pull high-quality coffee shots from your choice of ground coffee. The unit can be used for making one or two shots of espresso at once, while the swiveling steam nozzle works for frothing milk and dispensing hot water.
The Silvercrest Espresso Machine comes in three color options including Mint, Pink and Black.
