The Chamonix automatic espresso and cappuccino maker is another value leader from Briel. Selected as a “Best Buy” by a leading consumer testing publication, Chamonix offers all the Briel standard features plus the patented Auto Espresso Flow™ feature, a microchip timing circuit which allows you to pre-select the amount of espresso that flows into the cup. A long-time favorite with consumers, the Chamonix combines precision performance and convenience with a sleek European look! This new & improved version is ESE adaptable for use with ground coffee or coffee servings (pods)! The Chamonix delivers perfect crema with Briel’s patented Crema Master™ pressurized filter and effectively alleviates dripping through the patented AquaStop™ No-Drip system. The powerful pump will deliver 15 bars of pressure and the pump holds a 10 year warranty. The boiler is stainless steel, unheard of at this price. The Briel Lido can produce one or two cups of espresso at a time using ground coffee and also accepts E.S.E. Coffee Pods for ultra easy espresso servings one at a time.
