Construction
The exterior of the Solis Master 5000 espresso machine is made of sturdy plastic. The unit comes equipped with a durable 1250-watt boiler and 15 BAR pump that delivers enough pressure to pull the maximum flavor and aroma from the coffee beans. The machine measures 15"H x 14.5"W x 15"D and weighs 20 pounds.

Control Panel
The control panel of the Solis Master 5000 is easy to read and completely user friendly. It has a dial and 3 buttons. The dial controls the volume of water (1 oz shot to an 8 oz cup) the machine will use for each brewing cycle. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the volume for larger cups of espresso/coffee, and turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the volume. The first button on the upper right of control panel is the main power control. Push the button in the middle to activate the steam mode. It will preheat the boiler for steam production and within 40 seconds, the machine will be ready to dispense unlimited steam from the steam wand. The steam control knob located on the right side of the machine releases steam to create delicious cappuccinos and lattes. The third button starts the brewing cycle, and if pushed twice in quick succession, will double the volume of espresso or coffee that you have programmed with the volume dial.  

Professional Conical Burr Grinder
It features a high quality built-in conical burr grinder. Once you push the brew button, the grinder automatically begins grinding the exact amount of coffee beans needed. Conical burr grinders are admired for their precise, consistent and quiet grind. The grinder offers 18 adjustable grind settings -1(fine) up to 18 (coarse), allowing you to accommodate for various types of espresso drinks. The built-in coffee bean hopper holds 10.5 oz of coffee beans and its tight plastic lid keeps the coffee beans fresh.

Pre-Infusion System
Pre-infusion system ensures the best flavor. The two-step pre-infusion cycle moistens and conditions the ground coffee, which maximizes flavor extraction to increase the thick crema on your espresso. The machine accomplishes this by infusing (or presoaking) the fresh coffee grounds with a dash of hot water for two seconds. Thereafter, it completes the brewing process by infusing the remainder of the predetermined water through the coffee grounds and the outcome is a superior cup of espresso.

Steaming and Frothing
The Solis Master 5000 is equipped with a stainless steel steam wand and optional milk froth-aid tip to create loads of foam for cappuccinos and lattes with hardly any effort on your part. The steam wand is conveniently located on the right front of the machine on a swivel joint to accommodate frothing pitchers ranging from 12 oz. to 20 oz. in size.

Hot Water
The Solis Master 5000 comes with an instant hot water feature to make tea, americano, hot chocolate or soup. Turn the steam/hot water knob on the right side of the machine, and hot water will dispense from the steam wand.

Adjustable Coffee Dispensing Spout
The coffee dispensing spout moves up or down from 3 to 4 inches to accept many cup sizes, so you can brew into small espresso cups or large latte cups with no splashing. To ensure great-tasting coffee forever, remove the dispensing spout and clean it with hot water about once a month.

Cup Storage
Cup storage area with cover sits on the top of the Master 5000 with room for several espresso or coffee cups.

Removable Water Reservoir
The removable water tank, made of clear tinted ABS plastic holds 1.8 liter of water. It has an easy grip handle to make removal easy.

Removable Brew Group
The brew group is easy to remove. Just open the side door and remove with the thumb release lever. This gives access to everything that touches the coffee when it goes through the brew cycle, including the removable screens. Clean it once a week – just remove and rinse with warm water.

Internal Coffee Grounds Waste Box, Drip Tray and Cover
The machine can brew up to 20 cups of coffee or espresso before the internal coffee grounds waste box must be emptied. The dump box slides out of the left side of the machine. The machine will let you know when the dump box needs to be emptied. The drip tray has a water level indicator so you know when it’s time to empty and clean the drip tray and cover.

Accessories
The Solis Master 5000 comes with a detailed instruction manual, brew system maintenance tool, cleaning brush and cleaning tablets.
