Magister Sistema Caffe ES100 3-Group Espresso Machine

This three-group espresso machine is built for busy cafés and restaurants needing steady espresso output. It uses a pressurised boiler to push hot water through coffee grounds at precise pressure and temperature, producing rich espresso with crema. The boiler holds a supply of hot water, while an internal pump keeps pressure steady across all brew groups, avoiding taste or extraction issues.

Baristas fill portafilters with ground coffee, secure them into the brew groups, and choose the dose using touch pads. Each group can be set for four preset volumes or continuous flow for larger drinks. An electronic system monitors water levels and refills the boiler automatically, with safeguards against running dry. A programmable dispenser supplies hot water for tea or Americanos without disrupting espresso service. Two steam wands enable simultaneous milk frothing, and a safety thermostat prevents overheating.

The machine features a mirror-polished AISI 304 stainless steel body, selected for durability and ease of cleaning in high-traffic kitchens. The internal pump includes a balanced by-pass to maintain pressure during peak use. Touch pads allow exact control over extraction volumes. The auto-fill system removes the need for manual refilling, reducing service interruptions.

Controls consist of touch pads for each brew group, a programmable hot water dispenser, and separate steam wand valves. The pads adjust extraction volumes in small increments, while the dispenser can be set for specific temperatures and volumes. Steam wands work independently, letting baristas prepare multiple drinks at once.

A 17-litre boiler supports continuous espresso production. The 5.4 kW power rating requires a dedicated circuit in a commercial kitchen. The machine's 88 kg weight ensures stability but needs a solid counter or stand. Its width fits three brew groups side by side, with space for the dispenser and steam wands. It operates on standard UK commercial voltage.

Daily cleaning includes backflushing brew groups with a blind basket and cleaning solution, wiping steam wands after use, and periodic descaling. The stainless steel body can be cleaned with a damp cloth and non-abrasive cleaner. The auto-fill system's inlet should be checked for blockages.

The ES100 comes in electronic and semi-electronic versions, plus a High Group option for taller cups. Both two-group and three-group models are available to suit different service needs.
