Benefits |
|
DigiZone™ Control
(A Custom PID Electronics
System) |
·
Easily adjusts brew
& steam tank temperatures
·
LED readout for easy
viewing of settings and current temperature readings (in Celsius or Fahrenheit)
·
Intuitive and user
friendly
·
Very thermally stable
brewing temperatures with PID controlled element
switching
·
Adjustable in 1/10th degree Fahrenheit increments |
|
Dual heating elements in the steam tanks ( 2 &
3 group machines only) |
·
Flexibility allows each
element to function independently
·
One element can be
turned off if necessary
·
Larger heating surface for
quick recuperation time and better heat dispersion |
|
Incoloy & Stainless Steel heating elements,
superior to the Copper & Brass heating
elements |
·
This element can withstand much higher temperatures and is lead
free.
·
Reduces 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 |
|
Heat sink on the electronics box
|
·
Efficient 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
·
Easy to adjust with digital controls
·
The probe is a single machined part designed to increase sensitivity and reliability |
|
Low level probe
|
·
Protects the steam tank element from lack of water
·
Audible alert notifies user of low water level
|
|
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 |
·
Teflon is reusable, durable and very resistant to heat
·
Readily available and
easily to replace |
|
Stainless Steel frame and
body |
·
Great looking, durable,
corrosion free & easy to clean |
|
Stainless Steel bayonet rings
|
·
Super long life
·
Saves on replacement
time and costs |
|
Stainless Steel diffusers |
·
Easy to
clean
·
Increased thermal
stability |
|
Stainless Steel flow restrictors |
·
Easy to clean or replace
|
|
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 |
|
Two styles of steam wand tips available |
·
High pressure, low flow tip allows for tighter control with smaller volumes
·
High flow tip allows for quick steaming of larger volumes |
|
Pre-infusion function on the brew
groups |
·
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
·
The probe is a single machine unit and is highly reliable |
|
Welded brew groups to brew
tanks |
·
Removes possibility of
leakage
·
Improves thermal
stability |
|
Brew water tubing never leaves the saturated group
|
·
Optimal brew temperature is
immediately available
·
Eliminates the need to
"surf" for optimum brewing
temperatures |
|
Preheated water to brew
groups |
·
Aids in thermal
stability |
|
Dual hose water inlet |
·
Prevents brew pressure drops while the steam boiler is filling
|
|
Steam valve is easily
serviced and has an isolation valve in line |
·
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 |
|
Mix valve on hot water
system |
·
Eliminates vapor spray
from the overheated water in the steam tank
·
Ability to set the
Americano or tea water to optimal temperatures
|
|
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
·
Industry
standard, long lasting gasket that is readily available and cost
effective
·
Grooved edges allow for air and water release and make installation easier |
|
15° angle to the portafilter
handle |
·
The more natural angle reduces stress on the
barista’s wrist and helps prevent injuries
|
|
Low profile design |
·
Allows the barista to
engage the customer
·
Lets the customer
experience the theater of the brewing
process |
