With Straight-In fitted, the portafilter pushes in axially with an automatic locking system, and removing it triggers an automatic purge (hot water) and auto-clean (steam) after a two-second delay. Standard-portafilter machines use a conventional bayonet and a manual rinse lever instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest suited to\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompetition preparation, roastery quality-control benches, training rooms, and small counters where one group is enough and control is everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRequires a dedicated 10 A supply.
