How It Works

Slayer's approach to espresso starts with independent temperature and flow control — you set the thermal parameters and the flow profile, and the machine executes them with precision shot after shot. The upgraded rotary vane pump is the key to setup flexibility: connect it to a direct water line for permanent installation, or run it from an internal tank when plumbing isn't available. Either way, you get the same consistent pump performance. The fast heat-up system means you're not waiting around in the morning — the machine reaches operating temperature quickly so your workflow stays uninterrupted. Strong steam capacity handles back-to-back milk drinks without losing pressure.

The Engineering

Flow Control

Precise flow control lets you shape the extraction profile of every shot. You decide how water moves through the puck — not a preset.

Temp Control

Independent temperature management keeps your brew water exactly where you set it. Locked-in thermal accuracy for every extraction.

Rotary Vane Pump

Upgraded rotary vane pump supports both plumbed and reservoir operation. Full flexibility — install anywhere without compromise.

Fast Heat-Up

Reaches operating temperature quickly so you start pulling shots sooner. No long waits — ready when you are.

Steam Capacity

Strong, sustained steam power for texturing milk across multiple drinks in a row. Cafe-quality lattes and cappuccinos without pressure drop.

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.

Power Requirements
  • Voltage: 110V
  • Wattage: 1300W
  • Electrical: Standard North American outlet (dedicated circuit recommended)

Summary: It can run on a standard 110V outlet, making it well suited for coffee carts, small cafés, offices, and home espresso bars. Because it draws 1300 watts, it’s best to plug it into a dedicated 15–20 amp circuit, especially if you’re running other equipment (grinder, fridge, hot water tower) nearby. This setup is ideal for mobile coffee carts, where higher-voltage (220V) power isn’t always available.
