La Scala Madame Deluxe

A perfectly balanced espresso extraction, with rich complex flavour notes, begins with precise digital control over water temperature. That is why the La Scala Madame Deluxe home coffee machine comes with a copper boiler and heated group head, both driven by PID temperature control, for a fast heat up time and delivering water at exactly the right temperature +-1 °C for optimal flavour extraction.

Extraction temperature stability is also controlled by a thermosiphon re-circulation system which allows a continuous circulation of the boiler water across the brewing group inner circuits to guarantee the thermal balance of the brewing system, thus ensuring temperature constancy and minimal thermal drip of the brewing group head for the best extraction.

The right pressure at the right time is also critical for a balanced, sweet and creamy espresso. With a dedicated pressure gauge on the group head, you can visually monitor the pressure trend and act on the group lever accordingly for optimal management of manual pre-infusion. A low pressure pump technique that consists of a jet of water preceding the normal extraction cycle and is used to gently soak the puck of ground coffee in your portafilter prior to full desired brewing pressure.

This ensures you get a consistently superior extraction that enhances the aromas and flavours of the espresso as water evenly penetrates the grounds, so the entire bed has the same amount of water flowing through it once extraction begins for café quality results. The duration of the jet of water in the La Scala Madame Deluxe home coffee machine can be adjusted manually through the group lever.

Customising every coffee with the La Scala Madame Deluxe home coffee machine, by adjusting the group temperature and shot time via the display, is an essential part of the extraction process. Even small fluctuations in espresso volume and group head temperatures can cause varying extraction yields and flavour profiles.

As a general rule, if the espresso is tasting sour increase the group temperature to reduce acidity and if it is tastes ashy lower the temperature to balance the natural sweetness and acidity.

The key to full flavour is using the right amount of ground coffee, between 6-9g in the single filter and 12-18g in the double filter of the 58mm porta-filter. Then adjusting the shot duration via the group lever allows you to time the extraction and choose how much espresso ends up in your cup for consistency and the perfect dose every time.

The display of the La Scala Madame Deluxe home coffee machine also signals lack of water in the water tank and allows you to set and use the energy-saving mode to reduce energy consumption of PID-controlled heating of the boiler and group head, with transition from Eco-Mode to normal operating temperature in just 2 minutes.

When it comes to replicating café specialty coffee at home, microfoam milk texturing is also an essential part of the process.

The La Scala Madame Deluxe home coffee machine, with powerful steam pressure and a 360-degree cool-touch wand, creates silky and velvety textured milk with fine micro foam bubbles that are essential for latte art. Simply adjust the angle of the jug and wand and duration of steaming to affect desired texture and temperature. Then combine with golden espresso to enhance flavour and mouthfeel.
