Cafelat Robot Barista

Yes, because the Robot is a manual espresso machine, it requires a high-quality burr grinder capable of producing a fine, consistent espresso grind. Pre-ground coffee will not provide the necessary resistance to build pressure.

The integrated pressure gauge allows you to monitor your extraction in real-time, helping you identify if your grind size or tamping pressure needs adjustment. It is essential for achieving consistent, cafe-quality shots by ensuring you stay within the ideal 6-9 bar range.

No, the Cafelat Robot is a manual espresso maker designed strictly for brewing coffee. You will need a separate milk frother or steam wand if you plan to make lattes or cappuccinos.

Maintenance is very straightforward because the machine is plastic-free and has a simple, open design. After brewing, you simply knock out the coffee puck, rinse the portafilter, and wipe down the piston area.

While the Robot is not a boiler-based machine, pre-heating the basket with hot water before pulling your shot is recommended. This prevents the stainless steel from absorbing heat from your brew water, ensuring better thermal stability.

The Robot can produce up to 45ml of espresso per shot. This capacity is designed to accommodate the standard 12-18 gram dose, making it ideal for single or double shots.
