Sanremo the D8 volumetric espresso machine sitting on a platform.

There’s never a shortage of cool equipment launching in the coffee industry, but one that we’ve been anticipating for a while is Sanremo’s new espresso machine, the D8 Volumetric Espresso Machine. Named after the position on the chessboard where the black queen starts, the D8 offers exemplary control, precision, and versatility.

This is a modular commercial espresso machine with a single boiler configuration that you can tailor to your baristas’ needs. This hybrid machine — which offers the simplicity and cost savings of a heat exchanger with the stability and control of a multi-boiler — is revolutionizing how espresso machines heat water. It uses a patent-pending design to eliminate the need for temperature surfing, brewing each shot at the exact temperature you want it.

The D8 Models

With the D8's increased control, your baristas don’t have to worry about what temperature the water is when pulling a shot. They can focus on other details to let your coffee shine and help every drink meet your customers’ expectations.

For the D8 PRO, you can even set each group individually, allowing your team to pull shots at different set temperatures. All of this means greater thermal stability. But don't worry, while this technology may be new, it is easily accessible for any maintenance it may need.

Shot timer


The standard model of the D8 is loaded with features, including a digital shot timer and a stainless steel boiler with this innovative hybrid tech. Additionally, you can program up to 7 doses, a great benefit, especially when combined with the machine’s adjustable temperature for all groups. Even at the standard level, the D8 is designed to elevate your cafe’s coffee, improving consistency and quality in every shot.

In addition to everything included in the standard model, the D8 PRO has aesthetic and technological components that level up its performance in cafes. This one has it all: front panel illumination, a hot water mixing valve, a full digital display screen for each group, and insulated boiler and weekly programming software. There’s no need to pick and choose what you need because the D8 PRO has it all.

D8 with chessboard
This leveled-up version even comes with cold-touch steam wands so no one on your team has to worry about burning their hands making drinks — and we all know what it feels like to accidentally touch a super hot steam wand.
Whichever version of Sanremo’s D8 Volumetric Espresso Machine is best for your cafe, your baristas will have the information and equipment they need to make consistently good coffee that will keep your customers coming back time and time again.
