Mobile coffee trucks & trailers, small coffee shops, restaurants, and bakeries as some of the most common use cases for the Zoe. The small foot print makes it very easy to fit into a variety of situations, but is not a replacement for a full sized 2 group machine for higher volume applications that server a large number of 16oz+ milk drinks.
Can it steam milk and brew espresso at the same time?
Absolutely! As a single boiler heat exchange espresso machine, it is very capable of doing both at the same time with ease.
How does it compare to other machines in this category?
Unfortunately, there are very few compact 2 group espresso machine options on the market without large differentiating features. The most direct comparison is the Simonelli Appia Life Compact, which is a very similar machine.
How long will this machine last?
As long as proper water filtration is maintained and preventative maintenance is performed, we would expect around 7-10 years of life.
What's the next level up in the Sanremo range?
The F18SB (Single Boiler) is the next machines up in the Sanremo range. The SB is similar to the Zoe, but with PID temperature controls boosting steam generation.
All new Sanremo espresso machines come with a 1-year parts warranty from the original order date. Voltage provides an additional 1 year labor warranty. The absence of water filtration voids this warranty.
