Overview

The dream machine.

Whether it’s the cornerstone of your cafe or the prize jewel in your kitchen, the Slayer Espresso Single Group is unmatched in design and innovative technologies.

With flow rate control via patented needle-valve technology, a commercial group head, an independent brew tank for impeccable temperature stability and an individual tank for unlimited steam capacity, you’ll have all the necessary tools to extract the best flavors from each coffee over and over again.

This machine was built for commercial use, but fits right in at home, too.

Key Features:

• Patented needle valve for restricted flow rate aka PreBrew
• Independent brew tanks
• PID temperature control, adjustable in 0.1° increments
• Electronic V3 grouphead rated to 1 million cycles
• Commercial portafilter with 58mm, 18-gram basket
• Nanotech-coated precision shower screens
• Handcrafted with wood handles and actuators
• Internal rotary vane pump
• Hot water tap
• Non-slip feet
• Shot mirror

New updates introduced in November 2020:

Pump: upgraded from gear to rotary vane pump (increases to 9 bars in 1 second, is consistent & tuneable). Can be
direct plumb or draw from a water tank, within 1 meter of the machine.

Power switch; located internally for safe, quick repair scenarios.

Power save: “Interrupt Power Save” by moving actuator will interrupt “Power Save” and begin the heat-up process.
Similarly, if machine is set to “Sleep” and enter “Power Save” mode at 3PM––moving the actuator initiates machine
heat-up cycle. Machine automatically re-enters “Power Save” mode 1 hour after the last drink was made.

Shot counter: one counter for lifetime of shots pulled on machine as well as a resettable shot counter.

A new heating system lets the machine heat both boilers simultaneously for better performance. To take full advantage of the
new system’s capabilities, we developed a new circuit board to drive an additional solid state relay (SSR) and run a
new PID algorithm

PID Setting: the machine’s PID algorithm has been completely re-written, resulting in a dramatic increase in
temperature stability and machine performance. These settings are now tuned and locked; in the past they were
available to the end user to adjust, this is no longer necessary and the option has been removed from the menu.

Upgraded parts; water inlet changed from plastic to copper; upgraded composition of rubber on 3-way vent tube
to alleviate oxidation and cracking; all solenoids are forged body to prevent any leaks as result of bulging o-rings.
Ultimately, these upgrades were made to reduce the cost of maintenance needed on the machine.

Reservoir Drip Tray & Removable Drip Tray are available as an accessory to the stock machine.
