The Aquaviva Quick model is available directly from Chicco
d'Oro.
This solid all-metal model is, as opposed to the others, equipped with a
thermal block geyser (continuous water flow heater) instead of a
boiler.
This advantage means, the machine is less susceptible to lime build-up
and consequently requires less servicing.
