With the new Schaerer Barista espresso machine, the Swiss coffee machine manufacturer is taking the classic Italian drink to the next level: the Schaerer Barista combines the fundamental principles of a portafilter machine and the skills of a barista with the easy operation and process reliability of a fully automatic coffee machine. The result is the perfect Italian espresso with consistent quality from cup to cup. All the operator has to do is insert the portafilter and touch a drink to select it. At the same time, the typical sounds that accompany traditional steps such as knocking out the portafilter or frothing the milk create a sense of Italian flair. The extremely easy handling, high espresso quality and elegant design – inspired by the classic portafilter machine – make the Schaerer Barista ideal for a wide range of applications, from coffee shop chains to owner-run coffee bars or Italian restaurants. “The espresso machine chimes with the zeitgeist in the industry at the moment. It helps restaurateurs to celebrate barista-style coffee culture – in terms of appearance, technology and skills. At the same time, they can count on exceptionally easy operation and maximum process reliability,” says Sarah Ognibeni, Head of Marketing and Coffee Competence Centre at Schaerer AG.

Delicious coffee specialities with intense flavour and exceptionally creamy milk foam are not things anyone normally associates with a vending machine. Although the quality level in this sector has become better overall, the difference from table-top coffee machines using freshly ground beans and fresh milk systems is still very noticeable in terms of the taste, and the appearance. Swiss coffee machine manufacturer Schaerer launched a quality offensive two years ago in the self-service sector, and today offers a fully rounded concept in the shape of the Schaerer Premium Coffee Corner. Where conventional vending machines often rely solely on powder solutions, Schaerer brings its depth of coffee expertise into play and with the Premium Coffee Corner offers variety and quality based on fresh ingredients. This system combines a unique range of customisation options according to client preferences – both in terms of the equipment variants and the design – and exceptionally easy maintenance and filling thanks to the compact and modular design. Integration with the powerful digital solution, Schaerer Coffee Link, is naturally also guaranteed.
