EX3 CREM EXPOBAR

EX3 is the optimal solution for cafés and hotels where simultaneous coffee demand peaks are experienced regularly—during breakfast, lunch breaks, or afternoon coffee times. Three groups ensure the barista can always respond to demand immediately, without creating waiting lines.

EX3 features

The EX3 three-group configuration is physically larger than the EX2, so before purchasing, ensure sufficient bar area width for the machine’s placement. The CREM/EXPOBAR durable metal construction ensures longevity even under intensive use.

The machine’s heating capacity is provided by a larger boiler, which can maintain a stable temperature even during simultaneous operation of all three groups. This is crucial for espresso quality—temperature fluctuations directly affect extraction quality.

EX2 or EX3 — how to choose

EX3 is justified when the EX2 CREM EXPOBAR two groups are regularly insufficient—the barista has to make customers wait because both groups are occupied. If such demand is rare, the EX2 is more cost-effective and smaller in size.

How to choose EX3

The main criterion is maximum hourly demand—whether two groups are sufficient or three groups would increase service speed. Cafés with high customer flow and peak espresso demand.

The second aspect is bar area width—the EX3 requires more space than the EX2.

The third criterion is regular maintenance—BHS provides CREM/EXPOBAR maintenance.

• Assess maximum hourly demand and group requirements
• Check the available bar area width for EX3 placement
• Compare with the EX2 if demand is not regularly high
• Plan regular maintenance from the moment of purchase

EX3 in high-demand cafés

Cafés in city centres, hotel cafés, and restaurants with high customer flow choose three-group machines to ensure fast service during peak hours. The EX3 three groups allow the barista to prepare multiple coffees simultaneously without creating waiting lines. Where café culture is actively developing and customers increasingly expect fast and high-quality service, the EX3 capacity is an investment in customer satisfaction and revenue growth.

Advantages of the three-group machine’s productivity

The EX3 three groups provide maximum parallel preparation capacity—the barista can simultaneously prepare espresso, cappuccino, and latte macchiato without delays. Compared to the EX2 CREM EXPOBAR, the EX3 can serve a significantly larger number of customers per hour. In hotels during breakfast, where coffee demand is at its peak for one to two hours, the EX3 capacity ensures no waiting lines are created.

EX3 barista ergonomics and workflow

The EX3 three-group configuration requires good bar area organisation—the barista works with three groups simultaneously, so the workspace layout must be ergonomic. CREM EXPOBAR designs the EX3 with the barista’s workflow in mind to ensure easy access to all three groups. In cafés where the barista is the main face of the service, the EX3 ergonomic solutions help maintain a high work pace during peak hours.

EX3 maintenance and longevity

The EX3 three-group machine requires regular preventive maintenance—cleaning the three groups with tablets, flushing the coffee pathways, and periodic deep cleaning. A larger machine means a larger heating system, which requires appropriate scale prevention with water filtration.

Purchasing EX3 for a café or restaurant

Purchasing the EX3 BHS includes a consultation where the BHS team assesses the café’s demand, bar area dimensions, and espresso demand during peak hours. Based on this data, BHS confirms whether the EX3 is a justified choice or if the EX2 is sufficient.
