About Gm11a Màquina de Cafè

GM11A és una màquina de cafè multicàpsula, compatible també amb cafè mòlt. Dissenyada principalment per a petites oficines i cuines, disposa d'un sortidor doble per al cafè i un tub de vapor per a escumar la llet. La GM11A té un aspecte internacional però continua sent reconeixiblement italiana en l'execució i l'acabat. Els volums geomètrics i simples s'harmonitzen amb els detalls que revelen una ànima italiana. La interfície tàctil aporta una sensació final de tecnologia moderna en un producte tradicional.
