| Features | Benefits |
DigiZone™ Control (A Custom PID Electronics System) |
- Easily adjusts brew and steam tank temperatures
- LED readout for easy viewing of settings and current temperature readings
- Intuitive and user-friendly
- Thermally stable brewing temperatures with PID controlled element switching
|
Dual heating elements in the steam tanks (2 and 3 group machines only) |
- Flexibility allows each element to function independently
- One element can be turned off if need be
- Larger heat surface for quick recoup time and better heat dispersion
|
| Stainless steel heating elements, superior to the copper and brass heating elements |
- This element has ability to withstand much higher temperatures and is lead-free
- Prevents overheating and element failure if machines are started without water
|
| Solid state relays used on all heating element circuits |
- Increased longevity of the relays
- Fewer EM emissions
- More on/off cycles without damaging the relay
- Improved thermal stability
|
| Electronics box is isolated from heat and water |
- Increases the life of the electronics
- Reduces possibility of an accidental failure
|
| Cooling fan is located inside the electronics box |
- Direct cooling increases the life of the electronics
|
|
Independently heated and controlled brew groups |
- Ability to set each brew group to a different temperature to accommodate different roasting styles or decaf beans
- Great for roasters to test the ideal brewing temperature of their beans
- Extra level of security, if one group has an issue, the other groups can still function
- No loss of business from down time
- A group can be turned off for power savings. Great for tradeshow power limitations or outdoor catering challenges
|
|
High speed thermal probe replaces the traditional mechanical thermostat |
- Improved thermal stability
- Eliminates mechanical failure and costly replacement
- The probe has no mechanical parts
|
|
Mix valve on hot water system |
- Eliminates vapour spray from the overheated water in the steam tank
- Ability to set the Americano or tea water to optimal temperatures
|
| Innovative engineering on the steam and brew tanks |
- Allows a skilled user or service technician to easily remove scale from the inside of the tanks without using any special tools
|
| The element gaskets are Teflon and all other seals are industry standard O-Rings |
- Teflon is reusable, ultra durable and very resistant to heat
- All the O-rings are industry standard parts
- Readily available and easy to replace
|
|
Stainless steel frame and body |
- Great looking, durable, corrosion-free and easy to clean
|
| Stainless steel tubing |
- Very thermally stable
- More durable
|
|
Stainless steel bayonet rings |
- Super long life
- Saves on replacement time and costs
|
|
Stainless steel diffusers |
- Easy to clean
- Increased thermal stability
|
| Cool touch steam wands |
- Greatly reduces the chance of contact burns
- Doesn’t scald the milk on the steam wand, making it more sanitary and easier to clean
- Eliminates the need for a burn clip
|
|
Omni-directional steam wands |
- Barista flexibility on positioning
|
|
Side mounted, steam lever actuators |
- No twisting is required — reduces potential carpal tunnel issues
- Variable steaming pressure
|
| Acorn style steam tip — David Schomer approved |
- Popular industry design
- A favourite of most baristas
|
|
Pre-infusion feature on each brew group |
- This will swell the coffee puck evenly before the brew pressure is applied and create a more thorough extraction
|
| A thermal probe controls the steam pressure, replacing the pressure stat |
- No costly annual replacement or maintenance on the rubber diaphragm
- Not a wearing part
|
| Welded brew groups to brew tanks |
- Removes possibility of leakage
- Improves thermal stability
|
| Brew water tubing never leaves the saturated group |
- Brew temperature is immediately available
- Eliminates the need to temperature surf for optimum brewing temperatures
|
| Pre-heated water to brew groups |
- Aids in the thermal stability
|
| The pressure gauges are located behind the faceplate |
- The gauges stay clean and protected
- The faceplate can be removed without disconnecting the gauge tubes
|
| The steam valve is easily serviced |
- Allows users to quickly replace wearable rubber parts, saving time and money
|
| Easily removable drip tray |
- Easy cleaning of the machine and surrounding areas
- Provides quick and easy access to the control panel
|
| Aerator on the hot water spout |
- Delivers a smooth and even flow of water
|
|
Thick and pliable portafilter gaskets |
- Easier to engage the portafilter, results in less stress on the barista’s wrists
- Selected an industry standard, long-lasting gasket that is readily available and cost effective
|
| 15° angle to the portafilter handle |
- Reduces stress on the barista’s wrists and helps prevent injuries
- A more natural angle
|
| Dual height drip tray option |
- Standard configuration is the lower setting for taller cups. The taller setting is an option for smaller ceramic cups or shot glass brewing
|
| Low profile design |
- Enables the barista to engage the customer
- Allows the customer to experience the theatre of the brewing process
