Since I don't speak Italian, I'm at a bit of a disadvantage, I don't see how it could build up the requisite 9 bars of pressure required for espresso using only steam.
Edit: They do claim 8-9 bars and a stable temperature of 85-90 C. No idea how that is accomplished and they do not really explain it other than saying it uses valves.

I don't think anyone has mentioned it but the music on the video reminds me of a horror movie, perhaps that is a hint at the performance of this glorified moka pot?
