O-LINE is a CREM/EXPOBAR espresso machine series with a recognisable rounded design, intended for cafés and restaurants where the machine’s aesthetics and visual presentation are as important as its functional performance. O-LINE combines the parameters of professional HoReCa espresso equipment with a modern and visually appealing appearance that fits well into the café’s interior design. This series is part of the Coffee Machines WELBIT, EXSPOBAR, CREM range in the BHS assortment, available to HoReCa businesses across Europe.
BHS offers O-LINE series machines as part of its coffee machine range. Other CREM/EXPOBAR models: EX2, S-LINE, ONYX. The BHS team helps choose the O-LINE or another CREM/EXPOBAR model to match the café’s visual concept and functional requirements.
The O-LINE series is designed for cafés where the machine’s visual image is part of the business’s identity and customer experience. In cafés where an open kitchen and visible coffee preparation are part of the concept, the rounded design of O-LINE gives the bar area a modern and professional look.
O-LINE series features
O-LINE stands out with its rounded, aerodynamic body shape, which differs from traditional rectangular espresso machines. This design is both functional and aesthetic—it gives the café’s bar area a recognisable and modern visual identity.
A professional heating system ensures stable operation, and the equipment is designed for durability that matches HoReCa intensity. Barista ergonomics are maintained even in the rounded construction.
O-LINE vs S-LINE — design choice
O-LINE and S LINE are two CREM/EXPOBAR design series with distinct aesthetics. O-LINE, with its rounded shapes, suits modern cafés with a more organic design language, while S-LINE is more minimalist and linear. The choice between them is often a visual and spatial design consideration.
How to choose O-LINE
The main criterion is the café’s visual concept—whether the rounded design matches the space’s aesthetics and the business’s identity.
The second aspect is the required number of groups and output—O-LINE is available in various group configurations.
- Assess how the O-LINE design fits the café’s visual concept
- Check the required number of groups based on workload
- Compare with S-LINE, EX2, and others in terms of design and output
- Plan regular maintenance from the moment of purchase
O-LINE design in the café concept
In café culture, visual identity has become an important element of the customer experience—the coffee machine in the bar area is a visual focal point that customers see and associate with the café’s image. The rounded design of O-LINE gives the bar area a modern and recognisable look, which pairs well with more organic café interior design concepts. For cafés developing their visual identity, O-LINE is an investment in both aesthetics and functional quality.
O-LINE heating system and espresso quality
The professional heating system of O-LINE ensures stable water temperature during espresso extraction—a critical parameter for achieving high-quality espresso. Temperature stability means consistent extraction quality in every cup, regardless of how many coffees are prepared during peak hours. CREM EXPOBAR O-LINE is designed for HoReCa intensity, ensuring reliable operation even in high-traffic cafés.
O-LINE maintenance and café operation
The O-LINE machine requires regular preventive maintenance—cleaning groups with tablets, flushing the coffee path, and periodic deep cleaning. Cleaning frequency depends on the café’s workload and daily coffee volume. Water filtration is essential—lime deposits can reduce the machine’s efficiency.
O-LINE purchase and bar project
Purchasing a O-LINE in BHS includes consultation on the café’s visual concept, the required number of groups, and bar area dimensions. The BHS team helps select the right O-LINE configuration and ensures machine installation.
O-LINE in cafés with an open kitchen
Cafés with an open kitchen concept, where customers can see the coffee preparation process, gain added value from the O-LINE design—the machine becomes a presentation element of the café. Customers appreciate seeing high-quality professional equipment in action, and the rounded design of O-LINE enhances this impression. In cafés where coffee craftsmanship and visual presentation go hand in hand, O-LINE is a suitable choice.
