500 coffees every hour

The Trade Fair gives manufacturers the opportunity to display some of their big iron and each one of them claims ot have the most reliable, most efficent coffee mchines on the planet.


Katharina Kuhne, Egro Sales Manager uses the Series 90.

One machine we saw (and tasted) in action is the Egro 90 Series capable of a productivity rate of 500 espressos per hour. Try calculating the profit on selling each of those at $3.00 a hit. With 10 different product selections the machine simultaneously can be making three drinks in the one process; while 1 drink brews, the next shot grinds and the previous shot ejects.

Designed for the most demanding large hotels and very busy environments, the swiss people certainly like their precision. Check their website for more product info.



But we cannot overlook the Italians' passion for fine engineering. The nice people at Brasilia have on this display this rather large brewing chamber. Any guesses on what size shot this brewing chamber would produce?

Just out of picture is the smaller industrial sized working unit which produces 5 litre shots from 1,000 gram doses.

There were lots of other interesting things to see on the Brasilia stand, one of which was these stylish home espresso machines made under contract for another coffee company. Brasilia put effort into their body work.
