Key Features

Features:

  • Bastone Volumetric Paddles
  • Cool Touch Steam Wands
  • Shot timers, installed in full view, right above each group.
  • Intuitive operation by levers. Group levers offer 2 automatic shot volumes per group. These can also be programmed at endless, to offer on-off operation.
  • Auto-back-flush program, all groups pressurize and discharge simultaneously 8 times.
  • One separate PID temperature controller for each boiler, display in full easy view.
  • Energy saving Eco mode on each temperature controller, for nights and/or weekends.
  • Energy saving hot water system. Some cold is added to the hot water, so less heated water is needed. This mix provides a steady, non-spattering stream with the correct temperature to prepare Americanos. The hot water is controlled by a quick to adjust timer
  • Drip tray quickly adjustable in height, optionally a raised tray for espresso cups is available.
  • Stainless steel filter holders with KvdW handles.
  • Slow automatic infusion process, with step less build of pressure to full extraction mode. This allows a finer grind, creating more surface, so a higher yield in the cup, less chance on channelling, preventing fines to travel down
  • Heat neutral polymer dispersion block, no loss of heat, no baking on of oils and fats, remains clean longer.
  • Heavily protected heating element (extra safety level probe, cut-out switch with feeler against element in water, machine shuts down when any of the solenoid valves remains open for longer than 120 seconds).
  • Entire frame in stainless steel only, powder coated in crackle black.
  • Large steam boiler capacity:10.5L
  • Large coffee boiler capacity, total of 2.1L each.
  • Elevated position of body, easy cleaning of bar surface, yet low enough to allow comfortable barista-customer contact.

Water Filtration Requirements

Protect your investment and guarantee the best taste with our recommended water filtration systems:

Cleaning & Maintenance

Daily Cleaning

Wipe and purge the steam wand after each use to prevent milk buildup, rinse portafilters and filter baskets, clean the drip tray, and backflush the group head to remove coffee oils and residue.

Weekly Maintenance

Soak portafilters, baskets, and shower screens in an approved cleaning solution, inspect group head gaskets and screens, and perform a deeper backflush to keep internal components clean.

Long-Term Care

Maintain proper water filtration to prevent scale buildup and descale the machine as needed based on water quality and usage to ensure long-lasting performance and consistent espresso quality.

Plumbing Requirements

For this single-boiler espresso machine, we recommend using a BWT Single Cartridge Water Filter or a comparable inline filtration system designed to reduce hardness, chlorine, and sediment. Regular filter replacement based on water usage and local water quality is strongly advised to extend the life of the machine and preserve flavor clarity.

Power Requirements
  • Voltage: 220 - 240 VAC
  • Wattage: 7300W
  • Electrical: Requires a 230V circuit (dedicated circuit strongly recommended)

Summary: This machine runs on a 230V power supply, making it ideal for commercial cafés, high-volume service, and serious espresso setups where stronger electrical capacity is available. With a compatible-watt draw, it should be connected to a dedicated circuit to ensure stable performance—especially if you’re running other equipment nearby (grinder, fridge, hot water tower). This setup is best for fixed locations with proper electrical infrastructure, rather than most mobile coffee carts where 230V isn’t always available.
