Schaerer Barista
With Schaerer Barista, bring Italy’s warmth and flair to your counter.
With its distinctive design, its Italian flair and the unmistakable hissing and knocking, Schaerer Barista looks and feels like a classic portafilter espresso machine, but it has a secret. We made it so easy to handle it is almost entirely automatic, leaving you with the most pleasant part of the show: time for your customers.
The refined art of grinding, tamping and brewing.
Grinding and tamping are optimized for consistent top quality. The exact quantity of coffee released in the portafilter is automatically calculated, and a perfect espresso is brewed every time. The machine has two separate grinders, one for each of the brewing units. The process is also automatic: beans are ground, powder is filled in, without coffee powder being lost, and tamped into the filter, and coffee is brewed and dispensed at the touch of a button.
Everyone’s a barista.
Using Schaerer Barista is simple and intuitive, there is no need for specific skills to operate it like a pro. Everyone can be a barista. The automated operation only requires that the portafilter be inserted and removed, and grounds emptied, which also constitute the most scenic espresso-making gestures, typical of an Italian bar atmosphere. Milk foaming, another characteristic routine, is either manual or fully automated. This leaves the operator time to speak with the guests and to offer side orders such as a slice of cake or a croissant.
Description
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.
Optimal management and processing of the coffee beans and powder is the key to a great coffee: two integrated grinders, one for each brewing group, directly grind the beans into the portafilters, then the right tamping pressure is applied before brewing. Up to 18 different recipes can be programmed, and additional blends can be used thanks to the “external coffee powder” functional button.
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.
On top of being an additional, attractive element of design, these two external hoppers with their stylish, high-gloss polished stainless steel lids and containing 1100g coffee beans each, have twice the capacity of the standard integrated ones. Being positioned away from internal heat sources, overheating is completely avoided.
You might find it more suitable to have two fully automatic Supersteam wands, with programmable temperature and steam consistency, instead of one Powersteam and one Supersteam, especially if staff are not specifically trained or have a high turnover. NB: If this configuration is defined, it cannot be changed back to the standard “one Supersteam and one Powersteam” configuration.
Your Schaerer Barista classic portafilter machine is bound to become an important part of your location’s furniture and decoration, a hallmark of your authentic Italian espresso proposition, and to best fit your environment you may decide you want it coloured. A number of cladding foil options are available in different colours: a complete set of side and rear wall foils with matching trim in front of the drip tray, sides only, and back wall only.
