Overview
Experience the perfect blend of thermal stability and affordability with the F.18 by Sanremo Coffee Machines. Engineered with precision and efficiency in mind, this machine offers a range of exceptional features that set it apart from the competition.
One of the standout features of the F.18 is its individual group temperature settings, allowing you to achieve optimal brewing conditions for each group. Additionally, the F.18 offers a low-pressure pre-infusion system that provides you restriction for up to 25 seconds before full brew pressure is applied. This level of customization ensures a consistent great tasting cup of espresso.
Equipped with pressure transducers, the F.18 displays real-time pressure readings, allowing you to monitor and adjust settings with ease. The use of electronic components reduces wear and tear, resulting in lower maintenance requirements compared to traditional machines with more moving parts. While no espresso machine is completely immune to issues, the F.18's streamlined design minimizes the need for frequent part replacements.
The F.18's heating elements are electronically controlled, including the steam boiler, brew boilers, and group head. Temperature sensors and a dedicated board with triacs and solid-state relays ensure precise and responsive temperature stability. This proactive approach to temperature management guarantees consistently exceptional brews.
Not only does the F.18 excel in performance, but it also boasts an eye-catching exterior design. Its sleek and modern style adds a touch of sophistication to any coffee shop or establishment.
