About Gm11a Kafe Makina

GM11A kapsula anitzeko kafe makina bat da, ehondutako kafearekin ere bateragarria. Batez ere bulego txiki eta sukaldeentzat pentsatuta dago, eta kafe-iltzeko tutu bikoitza eta esnea irabiatzeko lurrun-hodia ditu. GM11Ak itxura nazioartekoa du, baina oraindik ere italiarraren ezaugarri bereizgarriak ditu exekuzioan eta akaberan. Bolumen geometriko eta sinpleek arima italiarraren berri ematen duten xehetasunekin bat egiten dute. Ukimen-interfazeak teknologia modernoaren sentsazio azkena ematen dio produktu tradizional bati.
