New! Izzo Alex Duetto II Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine

The only semi-automatic home espresso machine on the market that allows you to easily switch between main-line and reservoir water sources just got a whole lot cooler! The Izzo Alex Duetto II features the same flexible plumping technology and double boilers as the original Alex Duetto, but has been significantly upgraded with an all-access PID interface that allows you to easily control the temperature on both boilers, switch either of them on or off (awesome energy savings for you espresso-only drinkers out there!), change it between 15 or 20 amp, select Celsius or Fahrenheit temperature readings and much more. It also has the awesome E61 brew group, which we're huge fans of because we definitely think it contributes to a great shot when compared to other models in this class that don't feature this patented technology. The main drawback to this machine is that it's a monster -- requiring 16.5" height clearance, which doesn't leave a lot of room to move under most cupboards. We wish they would have made the warming tray sides up top removable to allow for more flexibility around space requirements, but it'll give 'em something to improve upon for V.3.0!
