Cafelat Robot

No, the Robot is a fully manual espresso maker. It relies entirely on your physical force via the lever and hot water from an external kettle, making it completely electricity-free.

The Robot uses a standard 58mm filter basket, which is compatible with many professional-grade accessories. However, because the basket is proprietary to the Robot's design, you should ensure any third-party tampers or distribution tools are specifically designed for the Robot's basket depth.

The Cafelat Robot does not have an integrated steam wand or milk frother. To make milk-based drinks, you will need to use a separate manual or electric milk frother alongside your espresso shot.

Yes, the Cafelat Robot is constructed entirely from high-quality stainless steel and premium metal components. There are no plastic parts in the water path or the main body construction.

Yes, like all espresso machines, it requires a fine, espresso-specific grind. While it can accommodate both fresh-ground and pre-ground coffee, using a high-quality burr grinder will provide the best results and allow you to dial in your shots more effectively.

Maintenance is minimal because there are no internal boilers, pumps, or electronic parts to descale or repair. Simply rinse the portafilter and basket after each use and wipe down the stainless steel body to keep it in top condition.
