Sanremo F18 SB Commercial Espresso Machine **PRE-ORDER**


Description

The Sanremo F18 SB is a high-performance commercial espresso machine built for cafes, restaurants, and roasters that demand consistency, reliability, and refined Italian craftsmanship. Inspired by Sanremo's flagship F18 model, the F18 SB delivers a streamlined, elegant design paired with a robust thermosiphon heat exchange system that keeps extraction temperatures rock-solid across every shot. Each machine is hand-built in Italy by a dedicated team of artisans, combining precise engineering with bold, modern styling that elevates any bar environment.

Whether you're running a high-volume coffee shop or a boutique roastery, the F18 SB is engineered to keep pace with demand while giving baristas the control they need for consistent, repeatable results. Available in 2-group and 3-group configurations, and finished in your choice of Black or White, it adapts to your operational needs and aesthetic. From its PID-regulated temperature control to its programmable volumetric dosing, the F18 SB is a machine built to perform shift after shift.


Key Features

  • Thermosiphon Heat Exchange System: Maintains consistent group head temperature for precise, repeatable espresso extraction.
  • Pre-Infusion Chamber with Barista Control: Pre-infuses coffee grounds at lower pressure before full extraction - adjustable by the barista for precision dialing.
  • Volumetric Control (Auto-Volumetric): Automatically stops extraction after the programmed shot volume is reached, ensuring consistency across all orders.
  • Electronic Temperature Control (PID): PID-regulated boiler pressure displayed on an LCD screen for precise steam and temperature stability throughout service.
  • Group SR 61 Chromed Brass Grouphead: Features thermosiphon circulation for consistent extraction temperature at the group, shot after shot.
  • High-Performance Volumetric Pump: Delivers stable pressure even during simultaneous extraction across multiple groups.
  • Energy-Saving System: Smart insulation and energy management reduce electricity consumption by up to 40%.
  • Programmable Automatic Cleaning Cycle: Simplifies daily maintenance with programmable backflush cleaning routines.
  • Programmable Cup Warmer: Dedicated resistor with adjustable power level keeps cups at optimal temperature for service.
  • Mixed Hot Water Dispenser: Outputs lower-temperature water ideal for americanos and teas.
  • Ergonomic Half-Turn Steam Knob: Operates within a 90-degree range to minimize physical strain during high-volume steaming.
  • Die-Cast Aluminum Legs: Provide a stable, durable base with a strong, modern aesthetic.
  • LED Work Area Lighting: Illuminates the drip tray area for efficient operation in any lighting condition.
  • Hand-Built in Italy: Each machine is crafted by Sanremo's artisan team, combining high-end technology with premium build quality.

Best suited for cafes and restaurants with moderate volume - up to two baristas working simultaneously. A smart choice for specialty coffee bars that prioritize quality and efficiency without over-investing in capacity.

FAQ

What is the difference between the 2-group and 3-group models?

The 2-group model has a 12L boiler, draws 15A at 3,200W, and measures 35" wide - ideal for moderate-volume cafes with one or two baristas. The 3-group model upgrades to an 18L boiler, draws 26A at 5,650W, and is 42" wide - built for high-volume operations running multiple baristas simultaneously. Choose based on your expected peak-hour throughput and available electrical capacity.

Does the F18 SB require professional installation?

Yes. The F18 SB requires a dedicated 220V power outlet and professional installation for safe and proper operation. A water filtration system is strongly recommended to protect the machine and maintain coffee quality, and a pressure regulator may be needed depending on your incoming water pressure. If you're unsure what your setup requires, our team is happy to help you plan your installation.

What warranty does the F18 SB come with?

The F18 SB includes a 12-month commercial parts-only warranty. Under this warranty, defective parts will be replaced at no charge, but labor, on-site service, and shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer. The warranty applies to the original purchaser and requires proper installation, operation, and maintenance per manufacturer guidelines. After the warranty period, Lifetime Pro Support is still included to help with troubleshooting, maintenance guidance, and equipment strategy.

What is the thermosiphon heat exchange system and why does it matter?

A thermosiphon heat exchange system uses a single boiler to heat both steam and brewing water, with a passive circulation loop that keeps the group head at a stable brewing temperature without a separate brew boiler. This design is reliable, efficient, and well-suited to commercial environments where consistency and low maintenance overhead are priorities. The F18 SB pairs this with PID temperature control for added precision.

What does volumetric control mean on an espresso machine?

Volumetric (auto-volumetric) control means the machine is programmed to stop water flow automatically after a set volume has passed through the group head. This removes the need for the barista to manually stop each shot, ensuring consistency across every drink - especially valuable in high-volume environments where dozens or hundreds of shots are pulled per day.

Can the F18 SB be returned if it doesn't work for my cafe?

Yes - returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery, provided the machine is in the same condition as received. A 20% restocking fee applies to espresso machines. Customers are responsible for return shipping costs. For full eligibility details, please contact our team before initiating a return.
