XLVI Indipendente

XLVI Indipendente — Single Group Standalone Espresso Machine

Overview

The XLVI Indipendente is a unique espresso instrument that stands apart from any conventional machine. Its defining characteristic is that all the technological components necessary for its operation are incorporated within the machine itself — with no under-counter components required. The ability to modify pressure, flow and temperature allows the barista to personalise extraction at will, for a product in the cup that is truly unique and exclusive.

Handcrafted in Rimini, Italy, the Indipendente features a saturated brass group head (7.5 kg) with PID temperature control and XLVI's signature Smooth Flow extraction. With volumetric dosing, adjustable mechanical and electronic pre-infusion, a pressure profiling kit (accessory) allowing 0–12 bar adjustment manually and/or via software, a low-pressure portafilter kit (accessory) for low-pressure extraction in combination with the pressure profiling kit, tea software with optional tea portafilter, and an Easy Use keypad with TFT touch display — the Indipendente delivers extraordinary control and versatility in a remarkably compact, self-contained format. Available in a small base model with flat grid, the Indipendente is also fully customisable in colours, materials and accessories.
