Zoe Competition 2 Group

List Price: $7,300

The Zoe Competition was designed as Sanremo’s versatile entry-level commercial machine for coffee roasters and cafe owners seeking reliability without complexity. With its sturdy all-steel chassis construction and absence of shells or panels, the machine reduces maintenance and servicing costs while delivering consistent performance. The 2-group configuration includes built-in shot timers and LED-lit work areas, making it particularly suitable for first-time cafe owners, mobile coffee operations, and environments where durability and ease of use are priorities.

Performs Best For

Small cafes, bakeries, and quick-service restaurants that want entry-level reliability plus a built-in shot timer for tighter workflow control. Its roomier frame and bigger boiler than the Compact handle modest growth (up to ~150 drinks daily) while keeping costs low.

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.
