Opal, the all new Super Automatic Espresso and Cappuccino Machine for Home or Office use:

Now you can enjoy gourmet coffee, espresso and cappuccino at home or in the office. The new opal from Schaerer gives you push button convenience like the big commercial machines.

From whole beans to the finished product by a touch of a button. The machine will automatically grind whole beans, compress the grinds, brew one or two cups and discharge the used grinds into a container.

Professional:

All brewing parameters such as temperature, water dosage and amount of grinds can be programmed for each of the 4 product buttons. The opal also features pre-infusion for optimum extraction and the perfect crema (gold coloured froth). This is the only super automatic espresso machine in its class that features an independent steam boiler. This means you can steam milk while an espresso is being brewed!

Professional:
Now you can enjoy gourmet coffee, espresso and cappuccino at home or in the office. The new opal from Schaerer gives you push button convenience like the big commercial machines.
From whole beans to the finished product by a touch of a button. The machine will automatically grind whole beans, compress the grinds, brew one or two cups and discharge the used grinds into a container.

Flexibility:
All important brewing parameters such as water dosage, coffee amount and Pre Brewing can be programmed for each of the 5 product buttons.

Temperature:
The Opal features 6 temperature settings which can be programmed. The darker the roast, the higher the brewing temperature can be set without burning the coffee!

Independent Steam Boiler:
This is the only super automatic espresso machine in it's class that features an independent steam boiler. This means you can steam milk while an espresso is being brewed! No need to wait for the boiler to heat up whenever steam is required like on other machines.

Professional Brewing Chamber:
The patented brewing chamber of the model Opal comes with a capacity of 6 to 16 grams of coffee. This enables the Opal to brew two cups of coffee in one brewing cycle resulting in significant coffee savings! No other machine has this capability!

Automatic Shut Off:
The Opal can be programmed to turn off automatically if the machine has not been in use for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 hours. No need to worry if the machine has not been turned off it will do it automatically. This feature can also be disabled.

Automatic Rinsing:
The Opal can be rinsed automatically by pushing the rinsing button.

Sanitizing and Cleaning:
Each machine comes with 10 cleaning and sanitizing tablets. This tablet (phosphate free) can be used in conjunction with the automatic cleaning cycle in order to sanitize the entire brewing chamber. This eliminates any oil residues from the coffee and keeps your machine clean and in good working order.

The opal will automatically signal with the corresponding indicator light whenever a cleaning cycle is due.

Descaling:
We recommend to use bottled water or filtered and softened water from the tap. This will ensure years of trouble free operation without scale built up!
Use the automatic descaling feature in conjunction with descaling detergent (available at most hardware stores) to remove any scale built up.

The opal will automatically signal with the corresponding indicator light whenever a descaling cycle is due.
