We supply a range of office coffee machines and restaurant coffee machines in central London. Our coffee machine showroom at Clerkenwell is an exciting development which allows clients to come and taste coffees, experiment with heavy-duty catering coffee machines and get training in operation and cleaning of commercial coffee machines and brush up on your barista skills. See the showroom’s position in 47 Gee Street, Clerkenwell, Ec1V 3RS here on Google Maps.
The Jura Giga X3 bean to cup coffee machine has an excellent range of speciality coffee drinks made from beans and fresh milk and also comes with an industry-leading 3 year parts and labour warranty. Why not have a look at our Jura Giga video here? We also offer a range of filter coffee brewers, traditional espresso machines and grinders to the Dundee and Tayside area; rely on us for friendly barista training and support.
As you probably already know, in an espresso machine, the coffee beans are ground to a fine consistency and ‘tamped’ (pressed firmly) into a strong handle which is known as a group handle or portafilter, this is not unlike a very small and rugged saucepan. Once secured in the group head on the espresso machine by means of a quarter of a turn the machine’s pump is triggered to force water through the ground coffee at around 140psi (although at a low flow rate) and the result is this intense extraction.
Milk heating, foaming and texturing are undertaken by the barista with the machine’s steam arms – this is a skill that takes practice but don’t worry – we train you on all of this! Strong points of espresso machines are smart looks that shouts ‘we sell good coffee’, good cup warming storage, good ‘theatre’ as customers can see the drink being crafted for them, good prices and robust performance.
Also consider that these machines do take time to make a drink as well as quite a bit of skill acquired by practice – also with a human operator (s) there can be a degree of inconsistency in the end product. It’s fair to say that traditional espresso machines are rare in the office setting as they are not really automated enough to be convenient for staff drinks.
Come along to 47 Gee Street, London, EC1V 3RS to see our range of professional bean-to-cup office coffee machines, espresso grinders and traditional espresso coffee machines.
