Torre Alfredo

Overview

The Torre Alfredo is a compact, hand-built Italian heat exchanger machine that brings true café-grade performance into the home — with PID temperature control and Torre's exclusive TSP (Smart PID) technology. Designed by Andrea Ferrari (formerly of Bezzera) and built south of Milan, the Alfredo pairs a 1.5L heat exchanger boiler with the iconic E61 group head and Torre's signature ERGOLIFT™ dispensing lever. The TSP system actively manages temperature to prevent the overheating issue that plagues most heat exchanger machines, meaning your first shot is always within range — even after long idle periods. Stainless steel construction, joystick steam and water taps, and Italian craftsmanship throughout make this a serious step up for the home barista who wants precision without stepping into dual boiler territory.
