Noteable Features

Control Delivery System (CDS)

Three-phase extraction control manages water delivery, time, and pressure during pre-infusion, infusion, and post-infusion stages. Each group can store up to 18 individual profiles, allowing cafes to run completely different extraction parameters simultaneously across all three groups for diverse coffee offerings.

Tablet App Integration

Complete control over all CDS parameters including pressure, time, and water for all extraction stages. This WiFi-connected interface allows baristas to save, share, and transfer recipes between machines, with pre-configured profiles (Standard, Strong, Balanced, Sweet & Light) for immediate results.

Smart Lever and Programming Interface

The smart lever enables fast manual dose selection while the machine features easy-touch settings with six different profiles per group. Double selection buttons and digital displays provide visibility of all working parameters, simplifying complex operations for baristas.

Gear Pump Performance

Dedicated gear pumps for each group allow pressure changes during infusion, maintaining high and constant pressure in all conditions. This system ensures consistent extraction quality even during simultaneous operation of all groups under high workload conditions.
