About espresso coffee

The Sunbeam Café Crema® II utilises technology and engineering from commercial espresso machines to ensure cafe-quality coffee in an easy to use design. With the Cafe Latte a growing favourite amongst coffee lovers the inclusion of the extra cup height clearance to the design allows the espresso to pour straight into a latte glass or your favourite mug. Constructed entirely of metal components, the robust design of the Sunbeam Cafe Crema many coffees at home. Enjoy the sweet aroma and taste of the perfect shot of espresso with its signature golden crema every time.

What makes a good coffee?

Sunbeam have consulted with experienced coffee makers and appreciators of coffee through every stage of design, to ensure the machine delivers a great shot of espresso every time. There are many factors that contribute to the perfect espresso. The words ‘taste’ and ‘aroma’ are consistently used when describing the perfect cup.

II is certain to create

The sweet aroma and taste of the perfect coffee is largely due to the correct combination of temperature and pressure during the brewing process. The Thermoblock heating system ensures the water is at the correct temperature, so that the full coffee flavour is extracted.

Secondly, the combination of the 15 BAR pump, dual-wall filter and stabilising baffle ensures the correct pressure at which the liquid espresso is released from the spout. The flow should consist of both liquid and cream. This cream is commonly known as the ‘crema’. The perfect crema should be thick and stable and preserve the coffee flavour, aroma and temperature.

We hope you have many enjoyable coffee experiences with the Sunbeam Café

15 BAR pump

™

The Café Crema II pump delivering the pressure required for complete extraction of oils, coffee solids and aroma.

Thermoblock heating system

is fitted with a 15 BAR

Crema System

The dual-wall filter creates additional back pressure and stabilising baffle produces a steady pour and maintains the temperature of the espresso.

Ensures the precise temperature is achieved. As espresso is made with hot rather than boiling water and the thermoblock heats the water to 92°C (just below boiling point) for optimum extraction of oils from the coffee grinds. Temperatures above this will burn the coffee grinds resulting in a bitter taste.
