How a Complete Novice Barista can make great coffee without Experience.

 

Developed for the contemporary barista, as you can see, Storm is a meticulously designed machine. It strikes a perfect balance between incredible user-friendliness and the ability to infuse science and precision to the art of coffee-making.

Thanks to new cultural demands and the popularity of an artisanal approach, Storm has been produced to deliver high quality coffee in multiple variations. It offers the flexibility to readily meet the needs of even the most demanding coffee enthusiast!

What Type of Coffee can Storm produce?

 

As a semi-automatic Barista machine, it’s ideal for espresso-based drinks and like any traditional barista machine, it allows you to steam the milk. However its designed to enable the Barista to mix it up – with different levels and proportions of ingredients – and because you can foam the milk too, it’s ultimately possible to produce any coffee drink imaginable.

 

What makes Storm special? Efficiency, Practicality and Creativity

 

Storm is equipped with an anti-scald and cantilevered steam wand that can turn a full 180 degrees. This means that even in a small bar situation – you have maximum versatile movement. In situations where there is confined space and/or a lot of staff – the ability the move the steam wand around is fundamental to a good workflow.

Another benefit of the steam wand is the Superdry System. Due to the internal design of the steam wand, it retains the heat internally – you can hold onto it throughout the process without getting burned. Again, this all makes work easier for the barista.

Furthermore, this system doesn’t affect the quality of the milk foam, which is integral to the end product  if you are looking to produce a more intricate latte art design. The technology of Storm allows you to greatly improve the presentation of the coffee you produce – with no extra hassle.

 

What is it that makes it unique for a Barista?

 

It is strategically designed to create a much better workflow. By technically analysing how baristas move around a bar, the entire process of using Storm is greatly simplified. As a compact machine – it won’t get in the way. It gives you the space to breathe and move with ease. Even on the busiest of days in a confined space – it allows for a quick and seamless experience.

User Friendly for Every Level

 

It really is a perfectly designed tool. Whether you are a complete novice or are looking to expand upon the technology that Storm offers -it’s user-friendliness caters to all levels of experience and barista knowledge. It has integrated technology that really assists the staff – for example, each group head has its own individual LED display which gives you a graph of the pressure and extraction. You can monitor how your coffee is doing, every time you engage the pump. This is a great tool particularly for someone in training to make better espresso-based coffees. It’ll let you know whether there is too much or too little moisture for example, or an air pocket; every detail shows up on the pressure graph.

 

Does Eighty9 provide maintenance and technical service?

 

Absolutely. We routinely check all machines sold by Eighty9 and an account manager typically calls in every couple of weeks. We want people to make the best coffee possible. When you buy a machine at Eighty9, naturally you’ll be given a warranty. However, you also have the option to include a service contract – for complete peace of mind.

Where is it for? What types of venue?

 

Pretty much anywhere. It has the versatility to produce a high volume of coffees quite easily without any stress. Alternatively, it is also suitable for a place that is more low volume. And you can program 6 different recipes of coffees and beverages into the machine at any one time – you might have only one coffee – but the ability to serve it in 6 different variations. And that’s a massive benefit. Also on top of the versatility and consistency on bar – it allows you to explore variations of pre-infusion.
