In daily use

Operating the Piccola Perla is refreshingly simple: open the lever, place an ESE pod in the filter holder, close and lock, then switch on the brew button. The 15-bar pump powers the water through the pod, delivering a proper espresso with crema in seconds. The removable 1.3-litre tank is easy to fill and clean, and the drip tray pulls out for a quick rinse. A visible water-level indicator ensures you never run dry, while the fast heating system has you ready for your next shot almost immediately. Because it accepts only ESE pods, there is no grinding, no tamping, and no mess — just consistent coffee every time.
