CREMINTERNATIONAL EX2 Mini 1gr Control Espresso Machine

An espresso machine built for precision and consistency in small coffee bars, cafés and restaurants where quality matters more than volume. The EX2 Mini 1gr Control uses the Expobar hydraulic system to maintain stable water pressure and temperature throughout extraction, ensuring each shot of espresso delivers the same rich flavour and crema. Water and steam are controlled by half-turn knobs that respond instantly, letting the barista adjust flow without pausing between drinks. Before full extraction begins, an electronic pre-infusion system gently saturates the coffee puck with water. This step prevents dry spots and channeling, so the water passes evenly through the grounds and extracts the full aroma and body. The pre-infusion chamber in the group head holds the water briefly, giving the coffee time to bloom and release its oils before the main pressure is applied. The result is a balanced, aromatic espresso with consistent strength from the first cup to the last. The workflow is organised around the barista. The work surface is set at a comfortable height, and the group head and controls are positioned for easy reach, reducing unnecessary movement during busy service. The cup tray is shaped to hold different sizes of cups and glasses securely, preventing slips even when the machine is in constant use. Inside, components are arranged for quick access, so routine servicing can be done without long downtime. Construction is in durable materials chosen for professional use. The 6 L water tank supplies enough volume for a steady service without constant refilling. The machine weighs 45 kg, giving it stability on the counter while still being movable with two people. Its footprint of 515 mm wide, 575 mm deep and 460 mm high fits neatly into small workspaces without crowding the barista. Controls consist of half-turn knobs for steam and water, and an electronic panel that manages pre-infusion and extraction. The single brew group is designed for low to moderate coffee volume, making it suitable for locations where each drink is prepared individually rather than in batches. The removable group head and accessible steam wand joints let you rinse and wipe every shift without tools. The group head and portafilter can be removed for daily cleaning, and the drip tray slides out for emptying. Internal components are accessible through a hinged panel, so descaling and routine maintenance can be carried out without dismantling the machine. The cup tray and work surface are wipe-clean surfaces that resist staining from coffee oils and milk. The EX2 Mini 1gr Control is a single-group model in the EX2 series, placed in the catalogue under professional espresso machines for small to medium service environments.
