Bellman Stovetop Espresso Maker CX25P

The Bellman CX25P is an all in one espresso maker and milk steamer designed to be used anywhere. At home or whilst on the road you can enjoy espresso anywhere and everywhere you go.

The Bellman CX25P removes the guess work when making espresso and steaming milk. The built in manometer allows you to create lovely syrupy full bodied shots of espresso full of crema under complete control. The CX25P is capable of making 1-9 espresso shots however optimium use is more like 1-4 shots, past this the shots can taste over extracted. Temperature control is key to extraction of shots.

The steam pressure Vs temperature table below illustrates extraction temperatures that you can work to. Hotter shots make stronger coffee because it increases extraction yields. You can tailor your shots exactly how you like them through practice. You will find that brewing shots at a higher temperature compromises flavour of your shot. If you want a stronger shot you simply add more ground coffee rather than increasing the temperature. The Bellman range will work on gas, ceramic and induction hobs that are compatible with 304 grade stainless steel. Please check this before ordering.
