Basic Information about XP5220 precise tamp espresso machine

This is a very common pump espresso machine. It does 15 bar pressure, has a 1400 watt thermoblock heating system and supposedly comes with a foolproof tamp system.

But, the whole idea is this system is very manual, you still need to know the basic of espresso brewing in order to come out with a good espresso.

Of course, you can also use the universal filter holder to brew from e.s.e pods, but then that is not really espresso right?
