AGARO Imperial 19 Bar Espresso Coffee Maker with Milk Frother
₹8,999
The 19 bar figure on the box is pump pressure, not brew pressure -- espresso is extracted at about 9 bar, and every machine above that simply regulates the excess away, so 19 bar tells you nothing useful.
Full details →Who the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker 6 Qt is for
Buy it if: Anyone who wants unattended, timed cooking and will adjust timings upward from stovetop recipes.
Avoid it if: Anyone expecting stovetop-cooker speed -- lower pressure plus preheat makes it slower, not faster.
Who the AGARO Imperial 19 Bar Espresso Coffee Maker with Milk Frother is for
Buy it if: Anyone learning espresso on 230 V mains who will buy a separate burr grinder.
Avoid it if: Anyone expecting an all-in-one -- there is no grinder, and pre-ground coffee will disappoint.

|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹9,999 | ₹8,999 |

| Capacity | 5.7 litres total. Usable is about 3.8 litres, since it must not be filled beyond two thirds | 1.5 litre water tank |
| Mains voltage | 220-240 V version sold in India. Confirm the listing is not the 120 V North American model | 230 V, 50 Hz -- the Indian domestic standard |

| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty |
| Weight | 5.4 kg | 4.2 kg |
| Why that matters | Recipes written for stovetop cookers under-time on this | Espresso needs beans ground within seconds of brewing, so a separate grinder is not optional |
| Boiler | not published | Single thermoblock, so brewing and steaming are sequential |
| Fill limit | Two thirds, and half for foaming foods -- so usable volume is about 3.8 litres | not published |
| Functions | Pressure cook, slow cook, rice, saute, steam, yoghurt, keep warm | not published |
| Grinder | not published | None -- beans must be ground separately, which is the main difference from an all-in-one |
| Inner pot | Stainless steel, dishwasher safe | not published |
| Portafilter | not published | 51 mm, with single and double baskets |
| Preheat | 10 to 15 minutes before pressure builds, which most timings omit | not published |
| Pressure | Roughly 11.6 psi, lower than a stovetop cooker's 15 psi, so cooking takes longer | not published |
| Pump pressure | not published | 19 bar rated, regulated to about 9 bar at the group head -- 9 bar is what espresso actually needs, and any figure above it is marketing |
| Steam wand | not published | Manual, for milk texturing |
| Warm-up | not published | About 2 minutes |
Every row is a figure one or both products record. A blank is a figure the catalogue does not hold, not a zero.
