Tempesta Professional Multi-Boiler Espresso Systems

Tempesta is a professional espresso machine family developed by Barista Attitude, based in the Susegana region of Italy. The series consists of two- and three-group models supporting independent group temperature, multi-boiler heat management, and simultaneous extraction with milk preparation in busy espresso bars.

Tempesta products on Mutfak10 are listed under the SAEF and SAEP codes, with two or three groups and different body colours. Model choice should not be based on group count alone. Hourly espresso count, proportion of milk-based drinks, number of baristas, counter width and electrical infrastructure should all be evaluated together.

Group Temperature Management in a Multi-Boiler Structure

Tempesta's Multiboiler architecture provides separate temperature management for espresso groups. Each group's temperature can be set according to different coffee recipes. This structure makes it easier to use beans with different roast levels or different extraction targets at the same bar.

Each group has a separate water and heat management section of approximately 1.2 litres. Steam production runs through a main steam boiler of approximately 8.5 litres. Exact boiler and power figures should be checked against the two- or three-group model code.

Independent temperature setting alone does not create the correct espresso result. Grind setting, dose, water quality, distribution, tamping and target drink weight should be defined within the same recipe.

Thermal Stability and Pressure Control

Tempesta's active group temperature control helps limit thermal variation in the group area during extraction. The pressure stabilisation system aims to deliver water to the coffee bed in a more controlled way.

Although the machine is designed for preparing shots back-to-back during busy service, the expected stability cannot be achieved if the grinder, water treatment or electrical supply is insufficient. The total electrical load created by simultaneous use, especially on the three-group model, should be calculated at the project stage.

An adjustable cup tray helps change the working clearance between an espresso cup and a tall takeaway cup. Cup height and whether a scale will be used under the group should be considered in the layout.

Steam System and Milk Drink Service

Tempesta has a boiler and steam wand structure aimed at dry steam production. Wands described as cool-touch can help manage exterior surface temperature and limit milk residue sticking to the surface.

Steam capacity should not be evaluated on boiler litres alone. How many milk pitchers will be prepared at the same time during busy hours, the pitcher volume used, and the average milk amount in drinks should be calculated.

The steam wand should be wiped with a clean cloth after each use and a short purge applied. Surfaces with milk buildup should not be scraped with metal tools; the manufacturer's recommended cleaning method should be used.

Featured Highlights

• Two- and three-group Tempesta models are aimed at different espresso bar capacities.
• The multi-boiler structure allows group temperatures to be set independently of one another.
• Active group temperature control, pressure stabilisation and programmable dosing support repeatability of the extraction recipe.
• Dry steam, cool-touch wands and an adjustable cup tray are used for busy milk-drink service.

Choosing Between the Two- and Three-Group Tempesta

The two-group model can be considered for medium and high-volume cafés where two baristas work on the same machine. The three-group structure offers additional portafilter space during busy order periods, but requires a wider counter, higher electrical power and more comprehensive bar organisation.

Increasing the number of groups does not automatically increase service speed. Sufficient grinder capacity, working space and trained staff must be available for each group. If the number of baristas is limited, a third group may not be continuously used.

Before installation, water inlet pressure, filtration system, drainage, electrical connection and the space needed to pull the machine forward or sideways for maintenance should be checked.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Tempesta espresso machine offer independent group temperature?

On multi-boiler Tempesta models, group temperatures can be managed independently of one another. This feature helps different bean recipes be worked on the same machine. The boiler configuration of the model used should be confirmed from the technical sheet.

How do you choose between Tempesta two groups and three groups?

Choice is based on shot count during busy hours, the number of baristas working simultaneously, and counter width. Three groups provide more simultaneous extraction space, but require higher electrical load and a larger work station.

Is a water treatment system needed for a Tempesta machine?

A professional espresso machine's water should be checked for mineral content and hardness. Suitable filtration limits scale buildup and supports recipe consistency. Filter type should be chosen based on local water analysis and manufacturer limits.
