About espresso coffee
Sunbeam’s extensive experience in designing
quality, long-lasting appliances has enabled
us to develop a range of pump espresso
machines that are as beautiful as they are
functional. As well as incorporating the
learnings from commercial machines to
ensure café quality coffee, ease-of-use was
an important dynamic in the design of the
Café Barista™.
The Sunbeam Café Barista™ is automatic,
completely removing any guesswork from
making espresso coffee. At the push of a
button the machine will grind the coffee
beans, place the correct dose of coffee grinds
into the filter, tamp it and pump the precise
amount of water needed to produce a shot of
espresso. As a result, each time you make an
espresso with the Sunbeam Café Barista™
you are assured a consistent taste every time.
As coffee continues to be an integral element
of Australian culture, the demand for the
perfect cup is ever increasing. A growing
favourite for coffee lovers in Australia, at
any time of the day is the Caffe Latte. To
accommodate these style of drinks, the
height of the espresso pour spouts are
adjustable. Ideal for all styles of cups – bring
the spouts down for espresso cups and for
those that prefer a Caffe Latte or a Long
Black raise the pour spouts for taller cups.
Drinking authentic café quality coffee at
home is guaranteed with a Sunbeam espresso
machine. The simple to use design of the
machine allows you to 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 has consulted with experienced
coffee makers and appreciators of coffee
through every stage of design, to ensure the
machine delivers a great espresso coffee
every time. There are many factors that
contribute to the perfect coffee. The words’
‘taste’ and ‘aroma’ are consistently used
when describing the perfect cup.
The sweet aroma and taste of the perfect
espresso 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 Italian made 15 BAR pump ensures
the correct pressure at which the liquid
espresso is released from the pour spouts.
The pour should be steady and consist of
both liquid and cream. This cream is known
as the ‘crema’. The perfect ‘crema’ should
be a golden colour and be thick and stable,
preserving the coffee flavour, aroma and
temperature.
We hope you have many enjoyable coffee
experiences with the Sunbeam Café
Barista™.
