The body is made entirely from 304 grade stainless steel. At 2.5 mm thick, we have created a coffee machine for life.
The machine’s base is also manufactured from 304 grade stainless steel in a high-gloss finish. There are no joints or corners. Hand-welded and polished. The complex manufacturing process, which includes a combination of both artisan and high-tech processes, has produced what we consider to be an extraordinary result. A spectacular and unique piece.
Objects of this complexity and manufacturing skill are no longer made in the 21st century. Mass production and serial manufacturing have done away with them. We wanted to rescue this artisan form of creation using the highest quality materials. To create a beautiful and eternal product.
The body is manufactured from a combination of high-gloss 304 grade stainless steel in areas in contact with water and Baydur for the outer shell.
This is a modern material that combines freedom of design and practicality: excellent mechanical resistance, resistant to high temperatures and a watertight interior.
High-tech, top quality button pad. Button pads in AISI 316 stainless steel with a high-gloss finish and RGB LEDs for a choice of up to 256 colours. A special silicone membrane offers a comfortable yet precise touch experience (soft touch).
With five programmed volume selections. ‘Volume’ refers to the option of setting the quantity of water in each coffee. It means the barista does not to be constantly supervising the extraction process and allows exact parameters to be established for the coffee to be accurately replicated.
High-precision pressure gauge. Casing in AISI 304 stainless steel. Metal hands. Lets the barista see the pump pressure in real time during extraction.
Ergonomic filter holder: the filter holder is one of the most heavily used parts of the machine. It is important that the design facilitates the barista’s work. We focused on various aspects of the handle: designed to fit comfortably in the palm of the hand, conical, conveys a pleasant feeling of strength and safety during use. The 10° tilt facilitates its use, allowing the hand to adopt a natural position.
We use olive wood (Olea europaea) as standard but can also customize the handle with oak or walnut.
_Olea europaea_. (OLIVE)
Beautiful to look at with its spectacular graining: it has a characteristic grain whose irregular, complex patterns mean that each piece is unique. This unusual grain is due to the fact that the tree grows very slowly in dry-crop areas and lives for such a long time. It has an exceptionally fine texture whose smooth and pleasant feel is enhanced by hand-polishing of each piece. Olive wood is particularly suitable for turning and can be carved with all kinds of details.
Eco-friendly: Sustainable olive wood is not treated with any chemical agents, just virgin olive oil.
Hard-wearing: Olive wood is 33% harder and denser than oak; it is extremely long-lasting and silky to touch.
Its ergonomic design has been tested by professional baristas.
The stick facilitates use and improves control. It consists of a cam system which is ergonomically more suitable for manual handling. A smooth, intuitive ‘natural’ movement makes it easy to use and control.
When the barista activates the cam, he can adjust the amount of steam in proportion to the level of force exerted. It can also be left completely open.
Made from ‘cool touch’ AISI 316 stainless steel. Very thick (12 mm in diameter). The heat insulation (double stainless steel wall + insulating material) prevents burns and makes it easy to clean any milk residue.
The ergonomic multi-directional design (360º) and length allow easy, flexible movement of the wand so it can be adapted to the size of the jug.
Two types of steam outlet in PEEK (anti-heat). The special design of the steam outlet, with its rounded edges, soft shapes and four tangential steam holes, make it easy to get the perfect consistency of the cream or milk foam.
We offer two types of outlet:
Rail: Solid and attractive in high-gloss stainless steel.
Spacious adjustable cup warmer (30ºC to 60ºC) in AISI 304 stainless steel. On/off option. Keeps espresso and cappuccino cups at the perfect temperature for a delicious cup of coffee.
LEDS in the work area. These give the barista a better view of the cup and enhance the visibility of the machine on the bar to showcase its spectacular design.
It is essential that the work area is properly lit, for both practical and quality reasons:
Button panel LEDs. We use state-of-the-art RGB LEDs which offer a choice of up to 256 colours.
Both LED zones (work area and button pads) can be turned on or off independently.
Colour is more than just a shade. It expresses feelings, reveals personality and communicates with others.
We wanted our Big Dream to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor: colour, colour and more colour! A colourful statement of intent.
Colour is its DNA… which is your favourite?
We can paint the coffee machine in any RAL colour, using a very rigorous process that consists of three coats of paint both to protect the machine and achieve a deep, vibrant tone.
(only if you want, because it’s already so, so beautiful…)
We gave careful thought to the way users can customize their coffee machine to reflect the décor of their café or the coffee roast. Our machines are craft products and this gives us the flexibility to respond to the requirements of our baristas.
We offer the full range of RAL colours (256 in total), accessorized by different fine woods for the filter holder and steam joystick, and we also welcome special requests (personalized logos, printing,stencils , etc.). Just tell us what you need, but first of all take a look at our standard colours and finishes. This is such a beautiful coffee machine as it is…
