Eureka introduces the Costanza, a traditional espresso machine with a large boiler, heat exchanger, E61 group head, and PID controller. These features are the hallmarks of many classic designs and ensure a perfect cup of espresso. The "R" denotes that the machine has a quiet rotary pump, ideal for those who want to reduce noise and have the option of using a water tank or connecting directly to a water line.
Listening to Users
Eureka uses a stainless steel, insulated boiler to save energy. This material does not impart any flavors, allowing the coffee to retain its natural taste. Eureka builds on the design of the Pura, adding PID for finer temperature control, which helps to balance the coffee's flavor. The rotary pump completes the picture for a well-rounded machine.
Who is the Eureka Costanza R Suitable For?
The machine is suitable for those who love espresso and want to experiment with temperature to achieve the perfect flavor. The Costanza R is an ideal choice for those who want a well-made, classic espresso machine that incorporates over 60 years of development in the industry.
What Makes the Eureka Costanza R Special?
The combination of standard espresso machine components with the PID controller and sleek design makes the Costanza R a compelling option. If you are looking for a well-made, classic espresso machine, the Costanza R is a perfect choice. It makes great espresso and is easy to clean. The rotary pump version makes the machine quieter and allows you to connect it directly to a water source.
How to Use the Eureka Costanza R
To make the best espresso, you should use an espresso grinder to control the coffee's fineness. The fineness affects the coffee's flow time. Eureka recommends warming up the machine for 15 minutes with the portafilter in the group head. You can adjust the extraction time yourself. The Costanza R has several settings that you can adjust on the display, including temperature, on/off time, cup counter, shot timer, and ECO mode.
Review of the Eureka Costanza R
"The Eureka Costanza R is a smart move by Eureka. With their years of experience in the coffee grinder world, they wisely chose not to reinvent the wheel when introducing an espresso machine to their lineup. They took a close look at what really makes a great espresso machine and perfected this foundation with their choice of materials and design. The quiet rotary pump makes for a great experience with the added benefit of extremely quiet operation and the option to connect the machine to a water supply. The Costanza adds a PID to the Pura, which is a great choice for enthusiasts who want to control the temperature beyond the basics and are looking for perfection!" - Robbert, coffee specialist at van Pommeren
