Your routine. Your choice.
E.S.E. or portafilter?
It depends on how you like to enjoy coffee.
Both systems can make excellent espresso, but the process differs. With a traditional portafilter machine, you control the grind, coffee dose and tamping yourself. The IconaBar with E.S.E. pods takes care of precisely those steps: the coffee is already ground and portioned, so you simply insert the pod and start brewing.
More control or more simplicity? The comparison below shows which system is better suited to your daily routine.
| Everyday use | IconaBar with E.S.E. | Traditional portafilter |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Insert pod, start brewing | Grind beans, dose and tamp |
| Adjustments | Grind and portion set by the roaster | More control over grind and recipe |
| After brewing | Remove the pod | Empty the basket, clean the portafilter |
| Suits you if… | you want straightforward coffee enjoyment | you enjoy refining your espresso recipe |
Both systems need regular degreasing and descaling. Taste and results also depend on the coffee, water and settings.
