The M21 Junior S1 portafilter espresso machine represents a technically perfect two-circuit machine that comes without any design frills. It has a water tank with a built-in softener. The popular retro 70s design convinces with robust technology. One of the few machines on the market equipped with a stainless steel water tank.

In everyday use:

If you want to bring Italian bar flair into your home, this classic is a must. Nothing has been changed in the design of the 70s, the technical components are of high quality, the espresso is particularly full-bodied with a beautiful crema. The machine not only looks very robust, it is known for it. The espresso brewing process is triggered and stopped by a large pressure switch above the brewing group. No cute little toggle switches, everything here is large-framed. The same applies to the two knobs for steam and hot water, which are standard for the bar. The steam nozzle is correspondingly robust. This is a machine that doesn't try to look small and appealing. It doesn't need to, it's sure of itself: a workhorse.

Details we particularly like:

• Stainless-steel water tank
• Very good espresso result

• Very robust
