Official Machine
Dalla Corte Zero Barista
Digital Flow Regulation (DFR)
Zero Barista revolutionizes espresso extraction with the Digital Flow Regulation (DFR) technology. By regulating water flow, Zero Barista allows to adjust how many grams of water per second will wet the puck before filling the extraction chamber, giving complete control over pre-infusion.
Flow profiling
Zero’s Freestyle flow allows users to utilize four different pre-set flow rates by simply moving the lever on the side of each brewing unit. The flow rates are pre-set to 3, 5, 7 and 9 grams of water per second, bringing out the unique flavors of different coffee blends or single origins.
Total Control
For those seeking even greater control and consistency in espresso extraction, Zero Barista offers the Fixed Flow mode.
Brewing temperature can be changed almost instantaneously with high accuracy.
