Espresso can be created with any coffee bean and is consumed in a wide variety of drinks. Considered a premium drink with a high profit margin, offering espresso drinks is a great way to bring in extra income to businesses. Just because it's a premium coffee, though, doesn't mean that it requires a complicated machine to create the perfect espresso drinks.
With beginnings in Italy in the late 1800s, espresso is the process of forcing extremely hot water through coffee grinds and then tamping the grounds to get a syrupy coffee beverage. Espresso machines use 132 pounds of pressure per inch to get the espresso out. Initially, baristas pulled a lever to help apply this pressure. In modern machines, an internal pump applies the water pressure to produce the concentrated drink. Each espresso is referred to as a shot and ordered based on how many 'shots' you'd like.
Americans have developed a wide range of ways to include espresso in their drinks. It's such a popular drink that even the astronauts on the International Space Station are now able to brew and enjoy espresso! Whether your customers want to enjoy a cappuccino, sip on a latte or have a taste for a dirty chai, being able to pull the perfect espresso is the key. Enter the Synesso S Series Espresso Machine.
With a lower profile than traditional machines, the S Series lets baristas have better engagement with customers. It also improves employees' views to keep an eye on the cafe floor. Synesso has also made the S Series very easy to use without sacrificing the quality of espresso produced. Since you can now find espresso drinks in places other than coffee shops (think neighborhood grocery stores, wine shops and even libraries), having a machine that's simple to use is important. Ease of use is especially important for employees who aren't highly trained baristas who've received multiple days of training. No need to worry! The Synesso S Series has digital shot times, user-defined programming, and controlled extraction to simplify training.
Founded in Seattle, Washington, where they're still built, each Synesso machine is handcrafted specifically for each order. Born of a desire to create the most temperature stable commercial espresso machine to the market, Synesso works to produce the most barista-friendly, dependable, and responsive equipment.
