The porta filter (or group handle) holds the filter-basket and ground coffee locked under the group head. When the brew process in commercial espresso machine begins, pressurized water at 200°F and approximately 9 bars is forced into the group head and through the ground coffee in the porta filter. Water that is cooler than the ideal range causes almost a sourness; while hotter than the ideal zone causes bitterness. Commercial espresso machines from kaldi.com control the temperature of the water within a few degrees of the proper temperature. This is yet another very important difference from regular espresso machines for home use and commercial espresso machines for a coffee house.
To "pull" or pour a shot of coffee from a commercial espresso machine, the operators fill a metal filter-basket with aprox 7 grams for a "single" shot and 14 grams of finely ground coffee for a "double" shot. The espresso grounds is then tamped (packed down) with approximately 50 lbf of force into a densely packed puck of espresso.
Commercial espresso machines produce a rich, almost buttery syrup based beverage by extraction and cause a transformation of the oils in the ground coffee beans. The ideal long shot (1.5 ounces) should have an extraction time between 20-25 seconds. Varying the fineness of the grind and the amount of pressure used to tamp the grinds can keep the extraction in the proper time frame. At kaldi.com we suggest most operators pull espresso shots directly right into a pre-heated cup or into a shot glass, to help slow down the cooling of the drink.
All two or more group commercial espresso machines from kaldi.com have two steam wands. This is used to heat (steam) and froth (foam) milk for milk based espresso drinks like the cappuccino and mocha.
