Coffee machine Schaerer Barista

A most comprehensive set of features allows you to immediately start serving the best espresso in town thanks to a unique combination of tradition and state-of-the-art technology. As for skills, the only requirement is a smile. 

Keep cups warm

The pleasure of a velvety, creamy espresso also relies on the temperature of both coffee and cup. That warm sensation on one’s lips when taking the first sip is priceless. Keep cups on the machine’s top heater or instantly steam them up to the right temperature with the special SteamIT feature.

Perfection, automated

Optimal management and processing of the coffee beans and powder is the key to a great espresso: two integrated grinders, one for each brewing group, directly grind the beans into the portafilters, then the right tamping pressure is applied before brewing. 12 different recipes can be programmed, and additional blends can be used thanks to the “external coffee powder” functional button.

The power of steam

No authentic cappuccino or latte macchiato can be made without the fine-pored, creamy foam being poured from a steaming milk pot. The wand routine and the hissing sounds are part of the show. Schaerer Barista is equipped with two smart steam wands: the Powersteam is the classic, manual version, whilst the Supersteam is fully automatic, with programmable temperature and foam consistency.

Brewing like a pro

Adjusting grinding and filter load in real-time like a seasoned barista

Schaerer Barista constantly adjusts grinding parameters and grind load quantity throughout the day. That’s what professional baristas do, according to their own experience. The machine monitors precise brewing times to determine the right degree of grinding and the right amount of coffee powder to be dispensed in the filter. A continuous process that delivers consistent top quality. This feature can be switched off for manual setting.

The coffee-science behind it

The extraction of coffee’s aromatic substances depends on the brewing time. One must hit the right extraction time for a perfect espresso, because both under-extraction and over-extraction will compromise quality. Brewing time in turn is influenced by the degree of grinding of the beans, the finer the slower, and the quantity of coffee powder in the filter, but it will further vary according to atmospheric conditions, which evolve during the day. Actual baristas will be more sensible to these, but Schaerer Barista can measure brewing times more precisely. Two methods, same principle, and same perfect results!
