Uncompromising Build Quality

Meticulous Material Selection

Cafelat has spared no effort in ensuring the Robot’s build quality is second to none. The body and base are crafted from die-cast aluminum, providing a robust and durable foundation. The metal components, including the portafilter, basket, dispersion screen, and pressure arms, are constructed from high-quality stainless steel for exceptional durability and longevity.

Food-Grade and Safe Components

Safety and quality are paramount in the Robot’s construction. The gaskets on both the piston and portafilter spouts are made from FDA-approved silicone, ensuring your espresso is free from any harmful contaminants. Furthermore, the Robot is entirely free of plastic components, eliminating the risk of chemicals or odors leaching into your coffee.

How To Use Your Robot

• Start heating your water to a boil and grind your coffee to an appropriate espresso fineness.
• Dose, level, and tamp your ground coffee into the basket, setting the dispersion screen on top of your puck once it’s tamped.
• Pour water directly off the boil into the basket.
• Raise the arms and lock the portafilter in, then get your cup or shot glass positioned underneath.
• Begin your extraction by lowering the arms. You should feel more resistance as you apply more pressure.
• For pre-infusion: apply gentle pressure until you get the first few drops out of the basket
• Increase the pressure on the arms for the duration of your extraction. Cafelat recommends applying around 40 lbs (18 kg) of pressure to reach 7-8 bars of pressure.
• Release the pressure on the arms to stop your shot.
• After extraction: raise the arms again to remove the portafilter. Knock out the puck, tidy the basket and dispersion screen, and wipe down the bottom of the piston.
  Enjoy!
