The DiCenzo Catonia is a small single boiler PID espresso machine that can make quality espresso in just about any kitchen space. The Catonia is a rugged espresso machine with an old-world personality. With a touch of wood-grained accents, this Catonia model speaks to people who really love an espresso machine that makes a statement in style and with tasteful espresso.

The standout feature of the Catonia is its PID. The PID controller moderates the boiler temperature for both steaming and brewing, giving the Catonia great temperature stability and the ability to tinker for anyone who wants a more nuanced extraction from specialty coffee. Now, it’s important to keep in mind that this is a single boiler machine, which means the Catonia uses a single boiler for brewing and steaming. A little extra patience is required when switching from brewing to steaming while the boiler heats up. With that said, the Catonia is well-built with a 3-way solenoid valve, a vibration pump, and the iconic E61 group head made of chrome-plated brass. The machine comes with a multi-directional steam wand with a joystick control and a two-hole steam tip, as well.

The Catonia is a simple, compact design. At about 10 inches wide, in can fit in just about any space. Plus, the Catonia can heat up quickly because of its single 0.5 copper boiler, which means you can get your morning coffee a lot sooner than with other machines. Do note that the Catonia’s boiler does have to be manually refilled after steaming over 20 ounces of milk, which can be done by flipping the “P” switch to refill the boiler. The Catonia is really designed for those who are looking for an espresso machine that has a fine setup and pulls quality shots and brings life into any Barista’s kitchen with the natural rosewood accents.
