Creating quite a buzz in the coffee forums everywhere is the Sanremo You, a single group, double boiler coffee machine with a suite of software that’s capable of showing you the extraction data as you brew. Created mostly for coffee geeks who want a powerful machine to experiment with at home, the Sanremo espresso machine was packed with features that give the barista full control over the parameters. First unveiled during the Milan Host 2021, the You is set to become available this 2022.
Front paddle
One of the most exciting features of the You is the Paddle. This front lever gives you control over the pressure, letting you create specific profiles for just about anything you will brew on this machine. The curves that result from your flow control are instantly viewable on the machine’s LCD display. Discovered a profile that you like? You can save that new recipe in a flash using the touchscreen that’s cleverly placed on top of the group head.
Electronic Temperature and Pressure Controls
Another way the Sanremo You ensure a high level of precision in your brewing process is through the electronic temperature and pressure controls. Paired with the double boiler within, you can rely on consistent water temperature and pressure output even as you pull shots back to back.
Customisable Presets
The You comes with 6 standard presets with select variables that you can tweak which is fantastic for home baristas who are only beginning their deep dive into coffee or for small coffee shops that serve the same set of drinks day in and day out. Plus there are 12 full customisable profiles that you can use for saving your new favourite recipes.
With the recent release of the Cube, and soon, the You, Sanremo seems to be on a roll putting out stunning coffee machines. In contrast to the Cube’s sharp, clean lines, the Sanremo You has a rounded silhouette that maintains a strong geometric appeal. But it’s not all beauty -- certain design choices for the You also make it more pleasurable and practical to use. Starting with the touchscreen panel on top of the group head, the start/stop levers for water and steam, and the access to the inside of the machine through an inconspicuous back flap.
