Built with pride, quality and innovation, La Cimbali, the world’s largest coffee manufacturer, has introduced the M24 Plus 2 Group Volumetric espresso machine. Although similar to the M24 Select Compact, the M24 Plus has some attractive upgrades that make this a fantastic option for the commercial owner. As with the M24 Select Compact, the M24 Plus is an automatic commercial machine with full plumbing, an attractive stainless steel exterior and matte black accents, 2 commercial-grade groupheads (3 on the 3 group) and 2 multi-directional stainless steel steam wands and hot water wand. The enhancements La Cimbali has added on the M24 Plus are the integration of a microprocessor for straight-forward programming of the dose and an enlarged heat-exchanging boiler (a massive 10 liters on the DT2 and 15 liters on the 3 group). As with the M24 Select Compact, the M24 Plus has been specially designed to be compact for the business owner with reduced workspace and built to be intuitive for users with limited training. Both of these features vastly improve the variety of commercial environments this unit can be integrated into.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE 2 GROUP VS. 3 GROUP
There are two primary differences between the 2 and the 3 group. The first is as the name implies: the 2 group volumetric has 2 groupheads while the 3 group has 3 groupheads. The second difference is the size of the boiler; the 2 group has a 10 liter boiler while the 3 group has a 15 liter boiler.
PROFESSIONAL, COMPACT STAINLESS STEEL DESIGN
This model is sleek and modern in style. Built with professional stainless steel and adorned with black matte push buttons. The electromechanical push buttons are intuitive to use and have integrated LED lights to indicate which button is activated. Easy accessibility to the internal parts is a key feature on this unit making cleaning, maintenance and repair a breeze. Customers will know they are getting a premium coffee beverage when they see this machine in action.
EASY-TO-USE AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Designed to be intuitive in use, the M24 Plus is clearly marked to be easily used by the most novice barista. Each electromechanical button is indicated with an LED light. Automatic operation ensures a consistent, delicious espresso each and every time. The included microprocessor allows for adjustment of the dose.
TWO COMMERCIAL-GRADE GROUPHEADS
The M24 Plus has dual high-quality, commercial-grade groupheads built to optimize thermostability and improve the efficiency of the brew extraction. The filter-holding handles have been purposely tilted to improve ease of use.
DOUBLE STAINLESS STEEL WANDS AND HOT WATER SPICKET
The M24 Plus is equipped with two multi-directional stainless steel steam wands with grip guards and one hot water wand for delivering water for tea and hot chocolate. The delivery taps have been ergonomically designed to require reduced motion to release the steam and water.
HEAT EXCHANGING BOILER
Integrated in the heart of this machine operates a large 10 liter boiler (15 liters on the 3 group) with heat exchanging technology.
ELECTRIC CUP WARMING SURFACE
Located on the top of this unit is a large cup warmer.
