Coffee machine CREMINTERNATIONAL ZCZNA2SCJ1MN

The CREMINTERNATIONAL Zircon Mini 1gr (article ZCZNA2SCJ1MN) is a commercial coffee machine. It is designed for preparing espresso-based drinks.

The operating principle of this type of machine involves heating water under pressure to extract coffee from ground beans. Hot water is forced through the coffee grounds in the brew group, creating the espresso. Steam is generated in a separate boiler for frothing milk, and a hot water dispenser provides water for other beverages. This machine uses a direct pre-infusion method, where a small amount of water is introduced to the coffee grounds before full pressure is applied, which can enhance extraction.

To operate, users will typically grind coffee beans and dose them into the portafilter, which is then locked into the brew group head. The machine's volumetric dosing allows for pre-programmed volumes of coffee to be dispensed. Steam can be drawn from the steam wand for milk texturing, and hot water can be dispensed from the dedicated tap. The machine includes automatic rinse functionality for the brew group and overheating protection. An automatic shut-off feature activates if the water level becomes critically low.

Construction includes a copper boiler with a pressure control valve. The machine is fitted with a built-in volumetric motor pump that incorporates two retention valves and a particulate filter. It also features a stainless steel steam wand and a hot water tap.

Controls include programmable drink dosing for consistent beverage output. The machine also has an automatic shut-off function and automatic rinse functionality.

The power rating of 2.8 kW indicates the electrical load the machine places on the supply. The dimensions of 490 mm (length), 585 mm (width), and 520 mm (height) define the physical space required for installation. The machine operates on a 230 V supply and at 50 Hz. Weighing 47 kg, the machine requires a stable, level surface for placement.

Cleaning involves the automatic rinse functionality for the brew group. Maintenance should also consider the copper boiler, pressure control valve, and the built-in pump components, including retention valves and the particulate filter.
