Cafelat Robot Espresso Maker

Cafelat Robot Espresso Maker

The Cafelat "Robot" is a small, high quality manual coffee maker that makes delicious espresso. It uses few parts, no complicated electronics and only premium materials like stainless steel - it is completely plastic free. All you need is ground coffee, some hot water from a kettle and you are all set. The whole process is simple and takes just a few minutes - no need for any capsule machine and less plastic waste for the landfills. The Cafelat Robot also features a professional 58mm stainless steel filter basket and has a bottomless portafilter just like pro machines.

What's in the box?

• The main body of the Robot with the arms and base assembled.

Features

• 58mm filter baskets Yes the same size as professional semi-automatic machines. Our baskets are extremely high quality, they are made by the same factory that makes all the best baskets in the world.
• Stainless Steel Tamper 1 piece stainless steel tamper designed and machined to precisely fit snugly in the basket and has tapered side walls to prevent ground being sucked back when you lift the tamper.
• Pressure gauge Our Patent Pending system takes the pressure reading from inside the basket. Add to that the manual pressing of the lever arms, it enables you to manipulate pre-infusion, flow and pressure in real-time to get the best from your coffee.
• Extraction pressure Ignore the magic 9 bar, that figure originally referred to the pump output pressure of a Faema E61 machine, when in actual fact the pressure at the group will be lower, maybe even 1-2 bar lower. Traditional lever machines (as measured by us) typically extract at 6-7 bars, and since the basket and piston on the Robot are the same size, we suggest you initially aim for 6-7 bars as well and adjust as preferred.
• No Electricity Required – Liberates you from the boundaries of electricity with your espresso.
• Temperature management The Robot is clearly not going to give you a La Marzocco type flat temperature profile. But water off the boil poured into a gently pre-heated basket will yield approx 95 deg c water, and will give you up to 88 deg c coffee output from the basket
• Bottomless is best For best results we recommend using the portafilter without the spouts - but when using the pressurised basket it is best to use with the spouts attached.
• Dimensions - 30cm x 16cm x 23cm
