Overview
Welcome to the 21st century method of espresso, the technology
of the future — The 123 Spresso.
Your new 123 Spresso is so quick to brew, so easy to prepare –
there’s no guesswork. Now you can brew true Italian espressos,
lattés, mochas, and cappuccinos with no clumsy handles or filter
baskets, no wet, messy coffee grounds to dispose of. Just pure
coffee enjoyment.
The secret of great espresso is to start with superb coffee. Your
123 Spresso includes a supply of single-use pods. Each pod
brews one shot of pure, dark-roasted Arabica coffee. This coffee
has been custom-roasted by Malongo Rambouts, a century-old
European coffee roaster known for outstanding coffees.

properly seated on the machine.
