Severin KA 5995 Espresa Plus - 1350 Watt Thermoblock
Published on 09/24/2026 at 02:30 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Severin KA 5995 Espresa Plus is a countertop portafilter espresso machine with a 1350-watt heater, a removable 1.1-liter water tank, and a 15-bar pump system. Its stainless-steel and black finish gives the machine a compact footprint, while a pressure gauge keeps the brewing process visible.
Core Espresso Hardware
The machine uses a thermoblock heating system and reaches operating temperature in 40 seconds, according to Severin's technical sheet. The official document lists product dimensions of 17.0 x 46.0 x 30.5 cm and a net weight of 4.67 kg.
The portafilter includes three inserts for one cup, two cups, and ESE pods. A Panarello steam nozzle handles milk frothing, while the included stainless-steel milk pitcher has a capacity of approximately 450 ml.
Manual Brewing Options
KA 5995 accepts ground coffee and ESE pods rather than whole beans. The machine therefore belongs to the manual portafilter category, not the filter-coffee category suggested by the supplied German description.
The pressure gauge provides a direct view of brewing pressure, and the adjustable brewing temperature gives users control over a key extraction setting. A heated cup surface, automatic shutoff, and an adjustable switch-off time round out the listed equipment.
Size Power and Compatibility
The 220-240-volt electrical rating shown in the English manual is designed for European mains systems. US households generally use 120-volt outlets, so the electrical specification makes this model a poor fit for ordinary US kitchen use without an appropriate electrical solution.
Compared with a standard drip coffee maker, KA 5995 trades batch brewing for manual espresso preparation. Its two-cup capability, ESE-pod insert, steam nozzle, and portafilter make it better suited to espresso and milk drinks than to brewing a full carafe.
Verdict for US Kitchens
Severin KA 5995 Espresa Plus is a manual espresso machine with a 1350-watt thermoblock, 15-bar pump pressure, and 1.1-liter removable tank. It fits users who already work with ground coffee or ESE pods and want visible pressure control, but its 220-240-volt rating limits straightforward US compatibility.
