Stalgast V 8 L Automatic Coffee Machine for Professional Use

An automatic coffee machine that grinds whole beans, extracts espresso, steams milk and dispenses two drinks at once without manual steps. A built-in burr grinder crushes each bean to a uniform particle size, releasing the oils and aromas that define the coffee's flavour. The grinder's ceramic blades stay sharp longer than steel and do not overheat the grounds, so the extraction remains consistent from the first cup to the last. Hot water is forced through the compacted coffee puck at controlled pressure, dissolving the soluble compounds while leaving the bitter elements behind. The result is a rich, balanced espresso base for every drink on the menu.

A separate high-temperature steam wand injects pressurised steam into cold milk, creating microfoam that is smooth and velvety. The machine's dual-pump system allows one pump to handle the espresso extraction while the other drives the steam wand, so two drinks can be prepared simultaneously. The 10.1" colour touch screen displays the full menu, guides the operator through each step, and can be customised with drink names, images and promotional messages. Up to twenty recipes can be stored, each with its own grind setting, water volume, temperature and milk ratio, so the same machine can serve a flat white, a cappuccino and a hot chocolate without reprogramming.

The operator loads the 1 kg bean hopper, fills the 8 L water tank or connects the machine to a mains water supply, and selects the desired drink from the touch screen. The grinder automatically doses the correct amount of beans, the pump draws the set volume of water, and the steam wand froths the milk to the programmed texture. Once the drink is ready, the used coffee puck is ejected into a large internal container that holds up to seventy pucks before it needs emptying. The milk system rinses itself after each use, and all removable parts—drip tray, water tank, grounds container—lift out without tools for daily cleaning.

The machine is built on a stainless-steel chassis and measures 410 mm deep, 500 mm wide and 580 mm high, fitting on most worktops or under standard cupboard heights. Its 20.5 kg weight allows it to be moved by one person, while the 230 V, 2.9 kW power draw matches a dedicated kitchen circuit. The 8 L water tank provides enough capacity for a busy service period, and the optional mains connection eliminates the need to refill the tank during peak hours. A daily output of around one hundred cups suits small to medium cafés, staff canteens and catering events where speed and consistency are essential.

Cleaning follows the parts the machine exposes: the removable drip tray catches spills, the grounds container holds spent pucks, and the milk system flushes with water after each use. The touch screen can be wiped with a damp cloth, and the bean hopper lid seals to keep the beans fresh between services. No disassembly is required beyond lifting out the tool-free components, so the machine can be reset for the next day in minutes.
