Traditional Espresso Machines

Coffee Machines London

Traditional espresso machines originate in Italy in the 1920’s and their use of pressure is the key to extraction whereby the rich flavours of finely-ground coffee is pulled out of the espresso-roast coffee beans. We offer a wide range of traditional coffee machines that are well priced with UK-wide service back up and barista training.

From a compact 2 group model with lowered drip tray that is ideal for a sandwich bar or pub to a full-size 3 group Synchro espresso machine for a busy student coffee bar at a University.

How does a traditional espresso machine work?

A traditional espresso machine works by pumping hot water through the bed of espresso (fine) ground coffee in a ‘group handle’ at a very high pressure of around 9 bar or 150 pounds per square inch in order to extract a very intense and aromatic cup of espresso – this is the basis of the modern speciality coffee drinks line-up.

Traditional Espresso Machines

Making a cappuccino, latte or flat white involves heating and foaming milk (Caffia recommend semi-skimmed milk) with a cappuccino having more tiny air bubbles as foam on the top than latte – this is generally done with one of the machine steam arms and via careful control of the steam valve – there’s a great deal of steam in the boiler so be careful and don’t panic!

Caffia Coffee Group offer a full range of catering coffee machines for cafes, restaurants, bars, hotels and foodservice including superautomatic bean-to-cup machines from Franke, La Cimbali and Jura and also full training, 3M water filters and Urnex cleaning materials.
