Willow Kitchen Espresso Machine Green
Overview
The Willow Kitchen Espresso Machine in green is a compact, sustainable countertop espresso maker for people who want café-style drinks at home without sacrificing environmental values. Constructed from certified recycled materials, it delivers single and double-shot espresso options, a built-in steam wand for textured milk, and a hot water dispenser for Americanos and tea. Practical features — a metal cup warming tray, intuitive backlit button controls, quick preheat technology and a removable drip tray — make daily use and cleanup straightforward. It’s aimed at home baristas who already enjoy tamping and dosing (or who use pre-ground espresso) and want a stylish, lower-waste alternative to pod machines that still produces consistent espresso and milk-based drinks.
Key Features

- Hot water dispenser and metal cup warming tray: instant hot water for Americanos/tea and a warming surface to preheat cups for better crema retention.
- User-friendly controls and maintenance: intuitive backlit buttons with indicators, quick preheat technology to reduce wait time, plus a removable drip tray for easy emptying and cleaning.
