Slayer Espresso Machine @ Fratello - teaser from Chris Prefontaine on Vimeo.
Want more control, baristas? Got it. The new Slayer espresso machine allows for adjustments of water pressure, which means pre-infusion if you want, mid-infusion softening if you want, or post-infusion soaking if you want...basically whatever you desire. Yes, this means more of a chance to create a bad shot of espresso, but it also may be just the machine that pulls out never before tasted qualities in espresso.
The design looks unbelievable and I'm really excited to taste espresso from a barista who has the machine nailed. According to an unknown source on coffeed, the mouthfeel of espresso (at a pre-infusion of 6-7 seconds, full pressure, then tapered down at the end) was "more cloud-like and fluffy than anything previously tasted".
This isn't, of course, the first time baristas have had the possibilities of variable water pressure, but it may be the first time it goes mainstream in today's market. Overall, I'd say a welcome machine to today's baristas. Be on the look out for this machine soon. The first released machine supposedly is at a cafe in Melbourne, AU, called St. Ali, and there are a few in the country, specifically in Ann Arbor and San Francisco (I could not find the names of the shops). Look for it next in Portland or New York.
