A front-loading water reservoir makes this machine ideal for home kitchens, apartments, and spaces where direct plumbing isn’t an option. - Compact, Commercial-Inspired Footprint
Based on the proven Vivaldi II platform, the A53 Mini delivers professional performance in a space-efficient format that fits comfortably on most countertops. - Bluetooth App Connectivity
Connect to the S1 Timer App (iOS) to schedule automatic heat-up and cool-down times, so the machine is ready when you are.
