Unusual on machines priced under $2000, the relax features two pressure gauges. One is for measuring the boiler pressure and the other is used to monitor brewing pressure while you are pulling an espresso shot, a nice touch. Although the Relax does not have the coveted E61 brewing system found on the Isomac Tea and Millennium machines, the Relax holds its own in producing excellent espresso shots.

The Relax features one of the largest boilers for a machine its size. A large capacity boiler makes the production of espresso drinks easy because there is no waiting for the machine to "recover" between shots of espresso or after steaming milk. The Relax will be able to produce espresso and steam milk as fast as you require!

The boiler is made of heavy duty nickel plated brass and is equipped with an advanced 1400 watt heating element.

The water tank is equipped with a low-water system that detects if the water level in the tank falls below a certain point. If the water tank should inadvertently run dry, a sensor will turn off the machine to prevent accidental over heating of the heating element.

The Relax is the least expensive espresso machine we know of that has the ability to brew espresso and steam milk at the same time! This saves a lot of time and eliminates the need for you to wait for the boiler to "recover" between espresso brewing and milk heating functions. 

The large water tank allows for large numbers of drinks to be made before refilling - ideal for commercial use. You may refill the water tank during operation or remove the tank to refill at your tap.

The Relax has a rechargeable water softener located in the water tank.  A water softener removes mineral deposits that build up on the boiler.  The water softener does not have to be used if you already have soft water.

The power supply and durable electrical system allow the Relax to be left on all day so that it's always ready to serve espresso or heat milk. The heating element heats the water in the boiler in less than 5 minutes from initial power-up.

The frame is made of heavy gauge stainless steel for many years of service. The exterior is made of polished stainless steel. The frame features anti-rust and corrosion protection.

The Relax offers a polished stainless steal cup warming surface on top of the machine with rails to keep them in place. Warm espresso cups are essential for great tasting espresso.

The drip tray is made of stainless steel and it removes for easy cleaning. The cup tray is made of polished stainless steel which also removes for cleaning.

The machine ships with two portafilters made of chrome-plated brass (with a strong plastic handle), which accepts a commercial-standard size 58 mm filter basket. One portafilter has a dual dispensing spout while the other has a single spout. The Relax comes with 2 stainless steel filter baskets, one for a single shot and one for a double shot of espresso.

The control panel on the front of the machine features heavy duty knobs that control the steaming and hot water function.  The machine is turned on by a stainless steel button, and a red light next to the power button illuminates when the machine is powered.  The red light next to the brewing button illuminates when the water in the boiler is heating, and when the green light next to the brewing button illuminates you are ready to start brewing espresso.  The Relax comes equipped with two gauges; the left gauge is the boiler pressure gauge, which shows when the pressure in the boiler is at its optimum level for brewing espresso or frothing milk. The right gauge on the control panel reads your brewing pressure.

Thanks to the large dual heat exchange boiler, you will enjoy powerful steam production for fast preparation of cappuccino, lattes, and cafe mochas. The chrome-plated brass steam wand is mounted on a swivel joint for a wide range of motion, and easily accommodates any size milk-frothing pitcher. The steam wand is equipped with a two-hole steam dispersion tip, which distributes steam through the milk for superior heating. One nice feature we noticed is that you may set the frothing pitcher on the drip tray while frothing thanks to the wide range of movement of the steam arm. Many machines require that you hold the pitcher while frothing.  Isomac also went one step further and added heat resistant grips on steam wand, so it can easily swivel accommodating any size pitcher.

Instant hot water dispensing for tea or other hot beverages. When the knob on the right is turned on, it releases hot water from the boiler instantly from the dispenser on the right side of the machine. This is useful for preheating cups or adding hot water to your espresso to make an Americano.

The Relax comes with two stainless steel filter baskets. One for a single shot and one for a double shot of espresso. 

Two portafilters, two stainless steel filter baskets for making either single or double shots of espresso, measuring spoon, coffee tamper, cleaning brush, espresso machine cleaner, and detailed instruction manual.
