Why
We Like the Isomac Supergiada
There
isn't a machine on the market in this price range that offers as much in
terms of quality of build, performance, and appearance. A look on the
inside of the machine will reveal an unusual component in a machine in
this price range, a brass boiler. The plumbing is also made of brass,
which simply lasts longer than other materials. All of the components are
fasted to a stainless steel body and the overall fit and finish of the
machine is superb. On the outside you will appreciate the polished
stainless steel housing, retro switches and controls. And unlike any
espresso machine at this price, the Supergiada has a brewing pressure
gauge that helps insure you are getting a great espresso shot.
In
our tests, we discovered that the Supergiada preformed well against other
competing models priced the same, or higher, in the $500 and below range.
If you are an espresso and cappuccino buff, then the Supergiada should be
at the top of your list of machines to consider.

Simple
To Use
Toggle Switches
The
Supergiada features heavy duty toggle switches. The first switch located on
the far left of the control panel turns the machine on and off. The red
light located below the main power switch illuminates when the
machine is powered. The second switch on the control panel controls the
brewing and when brewing a green light illuminates located directly underneath the brewing switch. The last switch on the far right of
the control panel controls the steaming and when turned on a red light
located underneath the switch will illuminate.

best espresso shot.
