Torre Luigino Cool Touch – Dual-Boiler Espresso Machine with Heat Exchanger
Wooden handle in hand, the ERGOLIFT lever lowers, and the espresso flows – a compact machine that brings warmth and craftsmanship to the counter.
The Torre Luigino Cool Touch is a compact dual-boiler machine with a heat exchanger, handcrafted in Italy. Stainless steel casing, real wooden handles, and the E61 group with ERGOLIFT lever give it a warm, classic look.
Heat Exchanger: brew and steam simultaneously
The insulated 1.5-liter copper boiler features an internal heat exchanger: espresso, steam, and hot water are produced simultaneously, just like at a coffee bar. The vibratory pump builds pressure, and a solid-state relay controls the heating. Two pressure gauges show boiler and pump pressure.
E61 and wooden handles
The E61 group with thermosiphon circulation maintains a stable brewing temperature, and the ERGOLIFT lever operates smoothly. Steam and hot water flow through a rotary valve with a wooden handle. The removable 2.5-liter tank and cup warming tray make everyday use easy. With espresso, there's no right or wrong – grind size, dose, and ratio are the adjustment screws, with 1:2 being a good starting point.
We are a partner of Torre. Our opinion is one of many.
