Big Dream
We’ve created an energy-efficient, long-lasting and hygienic coffee machine equipped with all the features to produce outstanding espresso coffee.
We invite you to come and discover the reality of our big dream. The beautiful Big Dream is the result of years of development and the enthusiasm of a team of engineers with the ambition to change one hundred years of history.
The first espresso coffee machine was manufactured more than 100 years ago. Since then, the materials used to manufacture coffee machines have barely changed.
Yes, 100 years…
100 years in which there has been a huge evolution in terms of the design, exterior materials and electronic devices that facilitate and improve coffee extraction… Yet inside, at the heart of the machine, nothing has happened for over a century. Brass and copper are still the main components of coffee machines. The technical characteristics of these materials tell us that thermal stability, energy efficiency, mechanical resistance and lime scale adherence to the components cannot possibly be optimal.
So… why not seek out the best?
Our technical team of dedicated engineers has devoted more than four years to this quest. We wanted to evolve. To change 100 years of history. There were other options out there, and they were better.
At our factory in Barcelona, we have engineered change: more than a century later, we have manufactured the first coffee machine that eschews the conventional materials of the previous century, replacing them completely with stainless steel.
Long Life: Created to last
Stainless steel has enabled us to create a long-lasting product which is therefore more sustainable. The mechanical resistance of this material ensures our coffee machines have a longer useful life.
It is resistant to corrosion, to temperatures of up to 300ºC, to water, to steam and to humidity. Furthermore, stainless steel is immune to lime scale which is the cause of 70% of repairs to professional coffee machines.
Energy-efficient
Stainless steel, meanwhile, is a very bad heat conductor and thus an extremely bad dissipater. Therefore, it is a material that requires less power to maintain thermal stability. This characteristic of stainless steel results in improved energy efficiency. By maintaining the optimum operating temperature, the machine requires less electrical power.
As well as using this material, our engineering department also introduced additional measures to achieve energy savings of 40% compared to a traditional machine made from copper and brass.
Additional measures:
100% coffee. 100% healthy
Stainless steel does not need any kind of protective coating or embellishment (chrome or nickel plating is often used in conventional machines) and there is no need for chemical or acid-based products to maintain steel, as lime scale does not adhere to it.
In the case of espresso, the coffee is transformed by passing the water through a circuit at a certain pressure and temperature. This circuit is normally made from metals such as copper, brass, lead, nickel and chrome which have been proven to migrate to a greater or lesser degree to the infusion of the coffee granules that have been so carefully selected and treated to create the complex and unique blends of specialist coffee.
With stainless steel internal components there is no migration of heavy metals to the coffee infusion, which is the case with machines that use copper and brass. The espresso shot with which we create the end result is 100% pure coffee, with no infiltration of other elements that might alter its flavour, aroma or texture. There is no nickel, no lead, no cadmium… High Technology
Big Dream is a product that incorporates the industry's latest technology, in regard to both hardware and software.
The use of stainless steel in all its internal components (whether water flows through them or not), in itself makes this a ‘next generation’ machine. But it also has multiple other new features.
Hardware. We have included latest-generation components: Highly stable, double welded saturated coffee groups, thermal cladding on groups and boilers, ‘eternal’ steam valves, precision filters, RGB LEDs, all valves stainless steel… and many others. Many of these features simply did not exist before in the industry.
Software. The key to being a hi-tech product. We have developed totally new, state-of-the-art software offering total control over the machine through the display (touch screen). It features all kinds of functionalities, alerts and records, with quick, intuitive control and is unique in its field.
