Zoe Compact 2 Group

List Price: $6,100

Introduced as part of Sanremo’s entry-level commercial line, the Zoe Compact brings professional espresso capabilities to limited-space operations. With its modern, minimalist design featuring an exposed all-metal chassis without shells or panels, the machine combines durability with simplified maintenance. The 2-group configuration balances capacity with compact dimensions, making it particularly suitable for coffee carts, small cafes, and restaurants where quality coffee is important but space is at a premium.

Performs Best For

Coffee carts, food trucks, and small cafes where space is at a premium but professional espresso quality cannot be compromised. Ideal for operations serving 50-150 drinks per day where simplicity and reliability are more important than advanced programming features.

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 cafรฉโ€™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 ownโ€”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 operatorโ€™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 machineโ€™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 featuresโ€”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 machineโ€™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.

Noteable Features

Space-Optimized Design

At just 21 inches wide, deep, and tall, the Zoe Compact fits seamlessly into small coffee shops, food trucks, and other space-constrained environments. Itโ€™s a serious pick for businesses where every inch counts.

Simple Programming

Programmable volumetric shot timers offer consistency through precise volume control, eliminating the variability of manual timing and keeping things simple for baristas.

Single Boiler Heat Exchange System:

This efficient thermal design allows simultaneous brewing and steaming without temperature fluctuations, making it a good fit for compact spaces that still expect times of fast-paced service.

Electronic Pre-Infusion

The automatic electronic pre-infusion system gently saturates the coffee puck before full pressure extraction begins to enhanced flavor development and consistency.
