The Heart of the Café — Espresso Machines
La Marzocco: A Legacy of Excellence
Few names in coffee inspire as much respect as La Marzocco. Founded in Florence in 1927, La Marzocco has become synonymous with precision engineering and durability. From their legendary Linea Classic to the sleek Linea Mini designed for home use, their machines blend tradition with innovation. Features like dual boilers, saturated groups, and PID temperature stability allow for unparalleled consistency—making them the gold standard in both professional and enthusiast settings.
As licensed resellers, we are able to provide access to the full range of La Marzocco equipment, ensuring customers can choose a machine tailored to their needs—whether that’s a small café just starting out or a home barista looking for uncompromising quality.
Slayer: The Artisan’s Machine
If La Marzocco represents tradition, Slayer represents bold creativity. Known for its striking design and unparalleled flow profiling technology, Slayer machines are designed for those who view espresso as an art form. Their Slayer Espresso Single Group has become a favorite for home baristas who want to manipulate pressure and flow rates for precise flavor control.
For commercial cafés, the Slayer Steam line offers power and innovation, giving baristas the ability to create nuanced espresso shots while managing high-volume environments. Owning a Slayer is more than just a functional purchase—it’s a statement of craftsmanship and individuality.
Breville & Lelit: Accessible Innovation
For those entering the world of espresso or upgrading their home setups, Breville and Lelit offer exceptional machines that blend innovation with accessibility. Breville’s Bambino Plus and Barista Pro are compact, user-friendly, and capable of delivering café-quality results without overwhelming new users.
Lelit, an Italian manufacturer, bridges the gap between entry-level and prosumer, offering machines like the Lelit Bianca with advanced features such as flow control, dual boilers, and professional-grade steam power—perfect for enthusiasts who want the flexibility to experiment.
Precision in the Grind — Grinders
Baratza: Reliable Workhorses
Baratza has built its reputation on creating reliable, approachable grinders that deliver consistent results. Models like the Baratza Encore remain household favorites for everyday brewing, while the Sette 270 brings professional-grade precision to espresso grinding. Baratza grinders are also known for their easy maintenance and repairability, ensuring they remain a long-term investment for both beginners and experienced brewers.
Mahlkönig: The Industry Standard
If you’ve ever walked into a specialty café, chances are the grinder behind the bar was a Mahlkönig. Known for their legendary EK43 and EK43S, these grinders deliver unparalleled particle consistency, which directly translates into flavor clarity and extraction precision. For cafés and serious enthusiasts, Mahlkönig grinders are a non-negotiable piece of equipment.

Brewing Beyond Espresso — Kettles, Pour-Over & Accessories
Fellow: Modern Design Meets Functionality
Fellow has become one of the most recognizable names in specialty coffee gear, thanks to their blend of minimal design and serious functionality. Their Stagg EKG Electric Kettle is a staple for pour-over enthusiasts, offering precise temperature control and a sleek silhouette. Beyond kettles, Fellow’s Atmos Vacuum Canisters and Ode Brew Grinder make them a brand beloved by both professionals and home brewers.
Hario: Tradition & Precision
For those who prefer the elegance of Japanese craftsmanship, Hario continues to set the standard. Their V60 Pour-Over Dripper is one of the most iconic brewing devices in the world, celebrated for its ability to highlight clarity and nuance in coffee. Paired with their range of precision scales and gooseneck kettles, Hario represents a timeless, professional approach to manual brewing.
Kalita: Balance & Consistency
Though lesser known outside specialty circles, Kalita kettles and brewers are revered for their unique flat-bottom dripper design, which promotes even extraction. This makes Kalita products an excellent choice for those looking for balance, body, and reliability in their pour-over brews.
