European Gift & Houseware La Pavoni BAR-STAR 2V-R 2-Group Commercial Espresso Machine, Ruby Red

European Gift & Houseware La Pavoni BAR-STAR 2V-R 2-Group Commercial Espresso Machine, Ruby Red

Combining a beautiful design with durable construction, this NSF/CSA-certified commercial espresso machine features two chrome-plated groups made from press-forged brass for high-quality, high-volume performance. An independent radiator hydraulic system for both groups delivers consistent water circulation throughout the copper boiler, which offers a large 14-liter capacity and comes with front-mounted transversal heat exchangers and injectors for each group. In addition, thermal stability to the coffee groups ensures a constant temperature, while pre-infusion of the coffee grounds helps produce consistent, balanced shots of coffee. The appliance also provides a user-friendly digital control pad, microprocessor controls, and electronic programmable dosing with four dosing settings for the perfect amount every time. Plus, its four-position energy-saving power switch reduces electrical power by 33-percent during the night and other off hours for cost savings.

The espresso machine also supplies a low-profile portafilter, which makes it possible to brew directly into a 16-ounce cup, and its oversized filter holder allows for making six espresso shots at a time. Choose from four cup sizes, including continuous brewing and an instant-stop button. Two steam wands come standard with the machine, along with a programmable hot-water button with a telescopic, flexible steam jet. Other highlights include an internal electric pump, a vertical infusion chamber and pressurization system to eliminate group dripping, a visible gauge that monitors boiler and group pressure, and a three-pole manual reset thermostat with automatic shut-off for safety, as well as automatic water-level control, a built-in warming tray, and telescopic side handles for easy transport. A 12-liter water softener and an installation kit with fittings and hoses come included. Made in Italy, the two-group 4370-watt commercial espresso machine measures 22 by 31 by 21 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
