The grinder to match

Essential

The grinder to match

On an espresso machine, the grind matters as much as the machine. You need a grinder with fine adjustment.

All grinders

Specialty coffee? Then you need an espresso machine to match

A manual espresso machine is far more than just another appliance. It's your playground for unlocking the full potential of our artisan coffees. When coffee is hand-roasted the way we do it, it deserves an extraction that respects that work.

No gimmicky machines here. Only high-end: La Marzocco, Rocket, brands that have proven themselves in the best coffee shops in the world. These machines are made for true enthusiasts who want to control every parameter of their espresso.

Why choose a manual espresso machine?

Because coffee is a craft. And a craft is something you master. With a manual espresso machine, you control the pressure, the extraction time and the temperature. You become the conductor of your espresso, not just a spectator.

The systems that make the difference

Every machine has its own system. Dual boilers handle coffee and steam separately. Heat exchangers strike the perfect balance. The pump generates the essential 9 bars of pressure. The group head is where the magic happens.

Manual or semi-automatic?

Your call. Manual = total control, the full barista feeling, you run the extraction from start to finish. Semi-automatic = a bit more comfort, the machine doses the water and you control the rest. Either way, you're the one extracting, you're the one deciding.

Looking for a fully automatic machine instead? We've got that covered too. We're an official JURA dealer: these machines do everything for you, from bean to cup. Perfect if you want quality without wrestling with the technical side.

The coffee you deserve

Your coffee already comes from a committed Swiss artisan roaster. Now you need the tool to bring it out fully. These machines don't just make coffee, they create experiences. At home or at the office.
