Magister Sistema Caffe ES70 2-Group Espresso Machine

A commercial espresso machine built for high-volume service, the Magister Sistema Caffe ES70 delivers consistent shots across two independent brew groups. The machine heats water in a pressurised boiler, forcing it through tightly packed coffee grounds at controlled temperature and pressure. This extraction method captures the oils, aromas and soluble compounds that define espresso, producing a rich crema and balanced flavour profile. The boiler's volume supports continuous operation without frequent refilling, while the inbuilt pump maintains steady pressure throughout each shot, preventing under-extraction or bitterness.

Operation begins by loading fresh coffee into the portafilters and locking them into the two brew groups. The operator selects a pre-set dose on the volumetric touch pads—each group offers four programmable volumes from 0 to 3000 cc—or chooses continuous brewing for larger batches. The electronic auto-fill system monitors water levels and refills the boiler automatically, shutting off if the supply runs low to prevent damage. A programmable hot water dispenser provides instant water for tea or Americanos, while the single steam wand froths milk for cappuccinos and lattes. Safety features include a thermostat that cuts power if the boiler overheats, ensuring stable temperatures during peak service.

The ES70 is constructed from AISI 304 mirror-polished stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant alloy that withstands the humidity and cleaning agents of a busy kitchen. The front panel houses volumetric touch pads for each group, allowing precise control over shot volume without manual timing. The programmable hot water dispenser can be set to deliver fixed quantities, reducing waste and speeding up service. An LED display provides real-time feedback on water levels, boiler temperature and active programmes.

With a 2.7 kW power rating, the machine requires a dedicated circuit capable of handling its load, typical for commercial espresso equipment. Its 64 kg weight ensures stability on a worktop, while the 595 mm width fits standard counter layouts without overcrowding adjacent appliances. The 500 mm height accommodates most under-cupboard clearance, and the High Group version raises the brew heads to 185 mm for taller cups. The 220/240 V voltage matches UK mains supply, eliminating the need for transformers.

Cleaning involves daily purging of the steam wand to prevent milk residue build-up and regular backflushing of the brew groups with a blind basket and cleaning solution. The mirror-polished stainless steel exterior wipes clean with a damp cloth, and the auto-fill system reduces scale accumulation by maintaining consistent water levels. The machine is available in semi-electronic and fully electronic configurations, with options for two or three brew groups and the High Group modification for larger cups.

The ES70 is categorised under professional espresso machines, designed for cafés, restaurants and catering operations requiring dual-group capacity and programmable dosing.
