GENERAL
The traditional espresso machine is the ideal equipment to adjust and control all settings. It remains simple to use and is the ally of baristas who can control the parameters for a customized brewing profile. It can be used with other complementary equipment such as an espresso grinder.
The automatic espresso machine automatically carries out all the steps involved in preparing an espresso: it grinds, cups, extracts the coffee and can also emulsify the milk. Once set up with the help of our experts, the automatic machine reproduces the barista quality but in an autonomous way. It is perfectly suited for use by less specialized staff, but also for self-service.
This depends on the type of establishment and the daily volume of espresso. You also need to think about your milk system according to the proposed menu. You can use our Sales Guide or contact us to speak with a sales consultant who will be able to advise you on the most suitable equipment.
