Schaerer Coffee Art Plus Touchscreen Super Automatic Espresso Machine

Schaerer Coffee Art Plus – Touchscreen Super Automatic Commercial Espresso Machine

The Schaerer Coffee Art Plus is a Swiss-built, fully automatic commercial espresso machine engineered for locations that need café-quality drinks at serious volume without a trained barista behind the counter. At the push of a button it grinds, tamps, brews, and steams — delivering 70–80 cappuccinos or lattes per hour (16 oz) from a compact 17-inch-wide footprint. Dual bean hoppers with dedicated grinders let you run two bean types side by side, such as a house espresso blend and a decaf, with grind, tamp, and brew parameters programmable for every individual drink selection.

Behind the touchscreen sits a dual-boiler system: a 6 kW steam boiler paired with a 3 kW water boiler, so espresso extraction and milk steaming never compete for recovery time. The finesteam air-injection wand textures 32 oz of milk in one minute with auto shut-off at target temperature, and its PEEK polymer construction keeps the wand surface cool enough that milk residue wipes clean instead of baking on. For hotels, restaurants, quick-service concepts, bakeries, and self-serve coffee stations, the Coffee Art Plus turns any staff member into a consistent drink maker.

Specifications

Key Features

• Touchscreen push-button operation — a novice can produce consistent cappuccinos and lattes; every recipe is stored, not remembered.
• Dual bean hoppers, dedicated grinders — run two bean programs simultaneously without swapping hoppers.
• Finesteam PEEK steam wand — air injection plus auto shut-off produces repeatable milk texture and temperature while staff multitask; the low-surface-temperature PEEK material is safer to touch and wipes clean.
• Per-drink programmability — temperature and texture settings for cappuccino and latte are programmable for each steaming selection.
• Maintenance reminders — scheduled prompts for cleaning cycles and water-softener changes extend service life and cut avoidable repair costs.
• High-visibility design — a clean, modern chassis built to sit front-of-house in premium concepts.

About Schaerer

Schaerer Ltd has been building coffee equipment in Switzerland since 1892 and began producing coffee machines for professional use in 1919. Headquartered in Zuchwil near Solothurn, the company launched the world’s first automatic cappuccino system in 1997 and today ranks among the largest manufacturers of fully automatic commercial coffee machines, operating within the WMF / Groupe SEB professional coffee division. Full manufacturer documentation is available at schaerer.com. That heritage matters on a machine like this: parts availability and service knowledge for Schaerer superautomatics are well established across the US.

Where the Coffee Art Plus Earns Its Keep

This machine is built for locations selling specialty coffee at volume without dedicating a barista to the bar: hotel lobbies and breakfast service, full-service and fast-casual restaurants, quick-service drive-thrus, bakeries, convenience stores, office break rooms with premium coffee programs, and self-serve café corners. At 70–80 milk drinks per hour it comfortably covers a morning rush that would swamp a manual two-group machine staffed by one person.

Specialty espresso drinks typically carry some of the highest margins in food service, so operators generally recover equipment cost fastest in locations with steady morning traffic. Confirm you have a 208V/30A circuit with an L6-30R receptacle and a water line with softener before installation — at 17 inches wide it fits standard back-counters and passes easily through any doorway.

Schaerer Coffee Art Plus — Frequently Asked Questions

How many drinks can it make per hour?

Rated output is 70–80 cappuccinos or lattes per hour at 16 oz, supported by the 6 kW steam boiler and a wand that steams 32 oz of milk in one minute.

What power does the Schaerer Coffee Art Plus need?

A dedicated 208V single-phase, 30-amp circuit with a NEMA L6-30R receptacle. This is a hardwire-style commercial supply — plan the circuit before delivery; it will not run on a standard 120V outlet.

How many drink selections can I program?

Up to 80 programmable selections depending on configuration, with grind, tamp, and brew settings adjustable per espresso selection and temperature/texture settings per steaming selection.

Do I need barista training to use it?

No. It is a super automatic: push-button touchscreen operation grinds, doses, tamps, brews, and steams to stored recipes, so any trained-in-minutes staff member pours consistent drinks.

How hard is it to clean?

The espresso cleaning cycle runs in about 5 minutes, the PEEK steam wand wipes clean even after it has cooled, and programmable reminders prompt cleaning and water-softener changes on schedule.

Will it fit my counter and doorway?

Yes for nearly all installs — the cabinet is 17″ wide, 22″ deep, and 28″ tall, so it sits on a standard counter and passes through any standard door.

What warranty and delivery do I get?

New units carry our 2-year limited warranty and refurbished units a 1-year warranty (parts, labor, remote support). Freight shipping is free within the continental US, dispatched 1–2 business days after payment with typical 3–7 business day delivery, plus a 30-day return window.
