“A machine of functional aesthetics that packs the ultimate
in reliability and experience on the inside, combined
with ongoing research and technological innovation. Extremely
compact and intuitive, it delivers a user experience that
is smart without compromise, enhanced by the addition of new
vertical button panels and the extremely high-tech steam levers.
Finally, it’s easy to create versatile work areas with the ability
to use a combination of raised and standard-height groups.
Design
“The design is conceived by revising the shapes of traditional coffee machines, which reduces the overall dimensions and enhances the two groups with the control systems.
Practical and intuitive. The new WBar steam lever is based on
these two principles, allowing the barista to work quickly and
smoothly. There are two different ways to steam: continuous flow or on
demand. The screenprinted steam handle makes for an even more intuitive
way of working, as well as providing a distinctive design feature.
The cylindrical groups, with their distinctive anodized orange
color, house the vertically arranged control consoles.
Each button panel is backlit and offers the option of programming
up to four doses. The combination of two navigation keys gives access
to the automatic wash cycle. A spot LED is positioned between
the groups, creating an elegant strip of light on the work area.
The WBar’s attractive design also includes four function buttons
positioned on the sides of the groups: two emergency keys,
a Cup warmer button, if present, and a hot water dispensing button for
making tea.”
