Whether at home, at the store, or outdoors. ARCO proposes a life with espresso.
Features of ARCO [1] Easy even for first-time users The simple structure makes it easy to use even for those who have never used an espresso maker before. From preparation to extraction of espresso, it only takes about 5 minutes. The simple structure makes daily care and maintenance easy. [2] Beautiful design A minimalist design made from machined aluminum with an arch motif. It has the beauty of creating a high-quality space while blending into daily life. Since it does not use electricity, it is cordless and has a compact appearance. [3] Authentic professional taste SOL’S COFFEE, which is based in Kuramae and has been providing specialty coffee for 15 years, has pursued the authentic taste through trial and error. It can also thoroughly extract the “crema” layer of air bubbles, which is one of the elements of high-quality espresso. [4] Reliable domestic quality Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata, has long been known as Japan’s world-class “hardware town.” The high airtightness and pressure achieved using metal processing technology down to 1/100mm supports ARCO’s high-quality espresso extraction. [5] High versatility A 58mm portafilter, which is the standard for existing espresso machines, can be used. That’s why you can choose from a variety of stylish and functional portafilters from around the world.

Quissaco is about feeling the change of time and seasons through coffee. We aim to open the door to coffee culture for everyone and connect it to the future. ◆About SOL’S COFFEE SOL’S COFFEE is a specialty coffee shop founded in 2009 and based in Kuramae, Tokyo, with four stores in Tokyo.
