SCHAERER BARISTA

The refined art of grinding, tamping and brewing

Grinding and tamping are optimised for consistent top quality. The automatic grinder adjustment controls the brewing time. To ensure that a “perfetto” espresso is brewed every time, the degree of grinding can be adjusted to finer or coarser if needed. 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 and tamped into the filter, and coffee is brewed and dispensed at the touch of a button.

Easy to use 

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.

Optimal management and processing

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. No authentic cappuccino or latte macchiato can be made without the soft, 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.
