Coffee with teeth

Bean-to-cup espresso involves taking freshly roasted coffee beans, grinding them finely, and then pressing them to compact the grounds for optimal extraction. The extraction process entails forcing hot water through the ground coffee under high pressure to draw out all the flavor and rich oils, resulting in a chocolaty flavor and a light brown crema on top. Unlike many coffee service machines that use the cheaper reverse French process and call it espresso, our systems make authentic Italian espresso.

Our coffee features Brazilian dark roast beans, crafted by the local small-batch roaster, Crankshaft Roasters. These beans are meticulously selected and expertly roasted to deliver a rich, bold, and complex flavor profile, with notes of velvety dark chocolate, caramel, and brown sugar.

Absolutely! Our machines offer up to 12 selections, including both flavored and unflavored options to cater to diverse palates. If espresso isn't your preference, we also provide decadent hot chocolate and French vanilla options. During festive seasons, we offer special holiday-themed flavors to keep the celebration going in style.

Yes. Our Italian-made, barista-quality systems feature one-touch simplicity. Simply place a cup into the delivery area, select your beverage from the up to 12 available choices, and your drink will be ready in less than a minute—much faster than a human barista.

Ordering is as simple as inserting your cup, touching the touch screen or sensor button next to your desired drink, and waiting for the beep indicating your drink is ready.

We pride ourselves on offering the best quality coffee beans, service, and machines in Chicago. We use locally roasted beans delivered the same day they are roasted, ensuring maximum freshness. We provide weekly cleaning, servicing, and restocking, along with just-in-time delivery of supplies. Our equipment is made in Italy, adhering to Italian standards for genuine pressed espresso.

Our beans are delivered the same day they are roasted and immediately stored in airtight, military-grade canisters to maintain peak freshness and flavor. These containers protect the beans from light, heat, and moisture, all of which can degrade coffee quality.

We provide training on how to fill our product containers and perform necessary tasks between our visits.

Our machines take up a small footprint and can be placed on a countertop or on the floor to meet your requirements. We will require a secure storage space to store a minimal amount of ingredients and supplies to ensure reliable service.

Our machines typically craft an 8-9 oz drink, suitable for use with 10-ounce cups.

We handle all maintenance and repair issues for our equipment. You can contact us directly via phone or text, and we'll ensure your residents or staff can enjoy their beverages without interruption. You will be serviced by the same technician each time, ensuring familiarity and reliability.
