Sanremo Café Racer 2 Group Espresso Machine

The Sanremo Café Racer 2 Group is a multi-boiler commercial espresso machine from Sanremo in Treviso, Italy, built for cafés that want precision and personality on the bar. Each group has its own boiler with independent PID control, a 300 L/h volumetric pump keeps pressure steady even when both groups are pulling shots, and an 8 L steam boiler powers two cold-touch steam wands through the busiest rush. Its motorcycle-inspired design, available in White & Wood, Full White, and Racer Naked, makes it the centerpiece of any coffee bar.

Details & Features

The Café Racer takes its name and its look from classic café racer motorcycles: stripped down, beautifully engineered, and built for performance. Underneath that design is one of Sanremo's most advanced commercial platforms.

A multi-boiler system with four points of PID temperature control gives each group its own 1.0 L boiler, so you can run two different coffees at two different temperatures side by side. Infusion water temperature is held within ±0.5 °C, with stability under 0.2 °C, for consistent extraction shot after shot. An external 300 L/h volumetric pump keeps brew pressure stable even when both groups are working at once.

The 8 L steam boiler, controlled by an electronic pressure switch accurate to 0.02 bar, delivers powerful, dry steam through two AISI 316L stainless steel cold-touch wands with high-performance latte art tips. They stay cool to the touch even during long service, protecting your baristas.

Built from AISI 316L stainless steel, with 8 kg (17.6 lb) solid steel groups, the Café Racer is made for years of daily commercial use. Insulation and an energy-saving system cut energy use by up to 40% compared with single boiler machines, and auto-on, auto-off, and day-off timers mean the machine is ready when you open and resting when you close.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run two different coffees at once?
Yes. Each group has its own boiler and PID control, so you can set different brew temperatures for each group.

Does the Café Racer work on a standard outlet?
No. It's a commercial machine that needs a 220–240V or three-phase circuit. Contact us to confirm your electrical setup before ordering.

Does it need to be plumbed in?
Yes. It needs a direct water line and a drain.

What's the difference between the color options?
White & Wood pairs white panels with wood accents, Full White is all white, and Racer Naked shows off the machine's exposed frame and internal design.

Is the Café Racer good for a busy café?
Yes. The volumetric pump, 8 L steam boiler, and two steam wands are built to keep up with high-volume service.
