D8 PRO 3 Group

List Price: $13,900

The D8 PRO is engineered for the future of specialty coffee service, inspired by the formidable black queen in chess as the ultimate tool for baristas who demand control, consistency, and energy efficiency. Built on the solid foundation of the D8’s modular platform, the PRO refines workflow with advanced features including independent group temperature control, mixed water options, and energy-saving ECO Pro Mode. With its color LCD display, cool-touch steam wands, and barista working lights, it ensures a seamless and intuitive experience for coffee professionals seeking precision and efficiency.

Performs Best For

Multi-site operators and tech-forward coffee shops that want D8 ergonomics plus upgrades (insulated boiler, auto-steam, IoT) from day one. Ideal for chains that monitor recipes and maintenance remotely while serving steady medium volume across locations.

Fresh Cup uses a scoring rubric to rate espresso machines on a variety of metrics. See our scoring rubric:

Program Sophistication Gauges how deep and precise a café’s espresso program can be on the machine, and how much barista training it demands. Level 1 covers capsule or batch-brew stations, while Level 5 delivers full pressure/flow profiling, integrated scales, data logging and IoT connectivity for competition-grade menus. Volume Capability Reflects the peak drinks-per-hour the machine can maintain without recovery issues. Scores run from under 30 drinks (Level 1, boutique bar) to 120+ drinks per hour (Level 5, drive-thru chains or stadium kiosks). Automation Support Measures how many routine tasks the machine handles on its own—dosing, flushing, milk steaming and self-cleaning. It spans fully manual levers (Level 1) up to bean-to-cup super-automatic sequences (Level 5). Extraction Control Rates the operator’s control over brewing variables. Entry levels lock in temperature and pump pressure; mid-levels add independent PIDs and programmable pre-infusion; Level 5 delivers full pressure/flow profiles with live data logging. Workflow & Ergonomics Assesses how the machine’s physical design speeds service and reduces fatigue. Higher scores denote low-profile bodies, cool-touch or auto-purge steam wands, intuitive UIs and other features that minimise repetitive strain. Tech & Connectivity Looks at the depth of digital features—from simple PID displays and shot timers (Level 2) up to Wi-Fi dashboards, cloud telemetry, open APIs and fleet-management suites (Level 5). Design Customization Captures how extensively the machine’s appearance and UI can be tailored. Level 1 models ship in a single finish; mid-range offers swappable colour panels or logo plates; Level 5 machines feature fully modular skins and deep UI-branding options.
