The Grind & Infuse Perfetta in Black makes a powerful statement on any kitchen counter — a Red Dot Design Award 2022 winner that performs as beautifully as it looks.
The Grind & Infuse Perfetta is the flagship espresso machine from Solis: designed and developed in Switzerland, and recognised with the Red Dot Design Award 2022. As a portafilter machine with an integrated grinder, it brings together genuine barista control — quiet grinding, precise temperature management, and professional milk frothing — in one machine that rewards every effort you put in. As one customer put it: with the right beans and a little dedication, the result is pure joy.
In the box
The belt-driven ZERO STATIC™ grinder runs quietly and minimises electrostatic buildup for cleaner, more precise dosing. With 25 grind settings, a digital micro-timer, and per-basket memory, you can dial in your ideal dose to the tenth of a second — and replicate it reliably with every shot.
Temperature stability is what separates a good espresso from a great one. The adaptive PID system independently manages three zones — brew, steam, and hot water — keeping each at its optimum level so the full flavour profile of your coffee can develop evenly, shot after shot.
Before extraction begins, the pre-infusion cycle gently saturates the coffee puck at low pressure. This even wetting prevents channelling and produces a more balanced, rounded shot — particularly noticeable with light roasts or single-origin beans where extraction precision really matters.
The integrated manometer lets you monitor extraction pressure in real time with every shot. The optimal range is 8–12 bar — if pressure falls outside this window, the gauge shows it immediately so you can adjust grind size, dose, or tamp pressure accordingly. Maximum pump pressure: 16 bar.
The multifunctional 3-digit display shows grind duration, brew time, and maintenance alerts — all to the tenth of a second. Once you've dialled in your settings, the machine saves them per basket size so you can pull a consistent shot every morning without any guesswork.
The fully rotatable 360° steam wand produces dense, barista-quality microfoam — exactly the texture you need for a properly made cappuccino or flat white at home. Once you've mastered the technique, the consistency and sweetness of the milk foam speaks for itself. The same wand also dispenses hot water for Americanos or pre-warming cups.
The generously sized 2.6-litre water tank is easy to remove and refill. Included in the box is a BRITA INTENZA filter cartridge, which reduces limescale and improves water quality — with a direct impact on the taste of every cup. A water hardness test strip is also included to help calibrate the filter to your local water supply.
The Perfetta monitors its own maintenance needs and alerts you when cleaning or descaling is due. For best results, we recommend Solis SOLITABS cleaning tablets and Solipol Special descaler — both available separately. Replace the BRITA INTENZA filter cartridge regularly to maintain water quality and protect the machine over time.
Also available in Silver.
