Shotmaster espresso machines are built to accommodate the workflow needs of the professional barista. As such, this line of espresso machines fits best with coffee businesses that place a high standard on barista training, coffee skills, and coffee quality. Because the Shotmaster houses the groupheads directly next to each other, this machine series does not have 1-Step fully automatic beverage dispensing capabilities. The ‘supertraditional’ body style has a striking composite/aluminum finish.
The Shotmaster is only available in the following milk steaming configurations:
Shotmaster c — No milk steaming functionality, only coffee and tea brewing capabilities.
Shotmaster m — 1.5-Step milk steaming allows baristas to dispense perfectly frothed milk to be poured into the beverage
Shotmaster s — 2-Step milk steaming functionality enables baristas to use the steam wands to steam milk independently according to customer specifications.
Performs Best For
Due to their design and powerful capacity for brewing back-to-back espresso shots, Shotmaster espresso machines are best for specialty coffee shops, drive-thru chains, and bakeries that prioritize barista workflow and craftsmanship.

Noteable Features
Extraction Time Control
Enigma machines leverage Eversys’s Extraction Time Control tech to ensure all espresso shots are pulled according to a cafe’s desired recipes and flavor profile. If the machine notices brewing variables falling outside of the set time protocols, it instantly adjusts the grind size to bring the recipe back into the correct parameters.
350 Shots Per Hour
The Shotmaster provides reliable back-to-back brewing capacity, able to produce up to 350 espresso products per hour. This equates to a 5-6 seconds of grinding, 30 seconds of extraction, and only 2 seconds idling between shots. Coffee shops are therefore able to brew 2 double shots every 37 seconds with the Shotmaster espresso machine.
Purposeful Workflow Design
This design of the Shotmaster separates espresso and milk steaming production on the bar. This layout gives baristas the space to operate the Shotmaster like a more traditional espresso machine. Shotmaster machines have two groupheads located underneath the touchscreen menu, joined by the milk steaming module on the right.
E’Connect
E’Connect Telemetry technology gives coffee leaders the ability to remotely track beverage consistency, consumption, and efficiency—a valuable tool for businesses that want to carefully monitor their coffee programs. E’Connect also enables business owners to remotely change machine settings and brew recipes for easy day-to-day management.
