Powering Hundreds of Businesses Including:

Finding a machine that fits a tight counter without sacrificing commercial-grade recovery time usually involves a trade-off you’ll regret by the third drink. The S2 EK avoids this compromise with a 3-liter copper boiler, providing the thermal mass necessary to maintain group temperature through a busy morning rush or a demanding guest list. This is equipment for the buyer who understands that consistency is a function of physics, not luck. It’s time to stop managing your machine’s limitations and start focusing on the extraction.

Product Features

Built-In Pump Control

The machine includes a built in pump plus pump pressure control so you can adjust extraction pressure to suit different blends and roast levels. On-board pressure control helps refine shot dynamics without extra hardware.

Proportioned Dose Settings

Electronic proportioned-dose controls provide repeatable shot volumes without manual timing. That consistency makes dialing in and maintaining recipes easier for a dedicated home barista or a small café.

3-Liter Copper Boiler

A 3-liter copper and brass boiler for the single-group model delivers stable brew temperatures and thermal mass for consistent extractions. The dedicated boiler also features a pressure gauge so you can monitor boiler pressure during service.

Electric Heating & Power

Electric heating with 110 V compatibility (1-group spec: 2200/3000 W, 20 A) gives predictable heat-up and recovery suited to serious home use or light commercial service. The electric system simplifies installation compared with gas models.

Commercial Certifications

ETL and NSF approvals confirm the S2 EK meets accepted commercial safety and sanitation standards, a key consideration if you’re using a high-end home machine in a small business or pop-up setting. Certifications protect your investment and simplify compliance.

Compact Footprint & Included Portafilters

A compact commercial footprint (20.5" H × 18.1" W × 20.9" D, 93 lbs) fits tight counters while still delivering café-grade performance. The 1-group package ships with one single and one double portafilter plus insert baskets so you can start pulling shots right away.

The Coffeeionado Take

Who's It For:

  • Small cafés and coffee corners — Single-group commercial performance with programmable volumetric dosing for operations running 50–100 shots daily
  • Boutique hospitality and specialty food service — Compact footprint with commercial certifications fits spaces that cannot accommodate a multi-group machine
  • Operators entering commercial espresso — A real commercial machine with brass group construction and direct plumbing at a 1-group scale and price point

Right For You If:

  • Your daily shot count is 30–100 and you need a single-group machine with commercial volumetric dosing and certifications.
  • You want proportioned dose settings — programmable for single and double shots — so every drink is consistent regardless of who pulls it.
  • You have direct plumbing and 220V power (NEMA 5-20) — standard commercial infrastructure for a compact single-group installation.

Things to Consider:

  • Single-group throughput can limit your peak-hour capacity — if your line regularly exceeds 3–4 people waiting, a 2-group will improve customer flow significantly.
  • The 8L stainless steel boiler is well-sized for single-group service and easier to maintain than copper regarding water chemistry, but still benefits from quality filtration.
  • Brass group construction is durable and proven but heavier than modern alternatives — this is a machine you install once and leave in place.

Our Take:

The S2 EK 1-group is La Spaziale's compact commercial entry — real Italian commercial build quality and volumetric dosing in a footprint that fits small cafés, kiosks, and boutique spaces. If you are starting a coffee program with single-group volume and want a machine that is genuinely commercial-grade, not a prosumer compromise, the S2 delivers.

S2 EK 1 Group Espresso Machine by La Spaziale

Produced by Italian espresso machine brand La Spaziale, the S2 EK is manufactured with the highest quality components. The S2 EK allows you to keep emphasis on your coffee without compromising taste or quality.

Great for Workflow

The La Spaziale S2 EK is an automatic volumetric machine that allows you to just press a button and the machine will run a programmed dose. This is great for shops that are busy and don't have time to operate a semi-automatic machine (where you have to press a button to stop the shot).

2 Year Warranty ($99+ Value)

When investing in coffee equipment, peace of mind is worth its weight in gold. This warranty is your guarantee against manufacturer's defects and ensures that all parts are covered for an entire year from the date of purchase. We understand that our customers deserve the very best.

This is why we're thrilled to announce that we now cover all shipping, freight, and handling charges for our premium coffee equipment within the continental USA. Gone are the days of considering additional fees as you add items to your cart.

Programmable Dosing Volume

At the touch of a button you can extract your programmed shot. Let your baristas concentrate on other tasks while the espresso maker automatically pulls your shots. Easily program up to 4 different recipes and there is also a button for manual shots too.

Automatic Espresso Machine

Automatic espresso machines have revolutionized the way baristas operate in coffee shops, allowing them to focus on other tasks while still producing high-quality espressos. With programmable doses, baristas can set specific measurements for each shot of espresso, ensuring consistency and efficiency in the brewing process. This feature not only helps save time but also maintains the quality and flavor of the final product. Meanwhile, they can also focus on other tasks such as taking money, steaming milk, or other work tasks.

Water Quality & Machine Protection

Proper water quality is essential for optimal espresso extraction and long-term machine health. Use the guidelines below to ensure your machine performs at its best.

Parameter Ideal Range Why It Matters
Total Hardness 50-170 ppm Prevents scale buildup while maintaining flavor
pH Level 6.5-7.5 Ensures balanced extraction and protects internal components
Chlorine 0 ppm Eliminates off-flavors and prevents corrosion
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) 70-150 ppm Optimal mineral content for extraction and taste
Total Alkalinity ~7.0 Stabilizes acidity and extraction
Chloride 0-28 ppm Prevents corrosion (especially in steel boilers)

Important Note

Always refer to your machine's manual for specific water quality recommendations and maintenance schedules.

Advisory

Install a water filtration system to maintain consistent water quality and extend the life of your espresso machine.

What This Means

  • Water that’s too hard → scale buildup, reduced performance
  • Water that’s too soft → flat, dull espresso
  • Improper water can damage internal components over time

Machine-Specific Considerations

  • Some machines (especially with stainless steel boilers) require stricter limits on chlorides

Product FAQ

Does the La Spaziale S2 EK 1 Group use a rotary pump or a vibratory pump?

The La Spaziale S2 EK 1 Group is equipped with a commercial rotary pump, which provides consistent pressure, quieter operation, and is designed for direct plumbing into a water line rather than use with a reservoir.

Is the La Spaziale S2 EK 1 Group a direct‑plumbed machine, or can it use a water tank?

The S2 EK 1 Group is a direct‑plumbed commercial espresso machine. It is designed to be hard‑plumbed to your water line and does not include or support an internal pour‑over reservoir.

Does the La Spaziale S2 EK 1 Group have pre‑infusion for espresso shots?

Yes. The S2 EK 1 Group offers pre‑infusion, allowing water to gently saturate the coffee puck at a lower pressure before full extraction. This helps improve shot consistency and flavor, especially with fresh or lighter‑roasted coffees.

What is the boiler size and is it a heat‑exchange or dual‑boiler system?

The La Spaziale S2 EK 1 Group is a heat‑exchange commercial machine with a single large service boiler (approximately 3–5 liters depending on exact configuration). The heat‑exchange design allows you to brew espresso and steam milk at the same time using one main boiler.

Does the La Spaziale S2 EK 1 Group include cool‑touch or no‑burn steam wands?

Most S2 EK 1 Group configurations in the U.S. ship with traditional stainless steel steam wands, which will get hot during use. Some distributors offer optional cool‑touch or ‘no‑burn’ steam wands, so it’s best to confirm the exact configuration with your retailer before purchase.

Is the S2 EK 1 Group suitable for small commercial use, like a café or restaurant?

Yes. The S2 EK 1 Group is built as a compact commercial machine suitable for low‑ to medium‑volume environments such as small cafés, restaurants, bakeries, offices, and catering setups. For very high‑volume cafes, a 2‑group or 3‑group machine is usually recommended instead.

Does the La Spaziale S2 EK 1 Group have volumetric dosing or is it fully manual?

The ‘EK’ designation indicates volumetric controls. The S2 EK 1 Group allows you to program shot volumes for consistent dosing at the touch of a button, while still offering a manual continuous button for baristas who want full control.

What type of power connection does the S2 EK 1 Group require in the U.S.?

Most U.S. versions of the La Spaziale S2 EK 1 Group require a 220–240V, 20‑amp dedicated circuit (NEMA plug type can vary by distributor). Always check the nameplate and consult a licensed electrician to ensure proper installation and compliance with local codes.

How does paid installation work?

We want to make your purchase as smooth as possible and will pay the installation via rebate on commercial espresso machines. This includes commercial machines with more than 1 group head and 220V.

If the certified installer needed is over 1.5 hours away then we will pay for the installation call (and install up to the value suggested on page minus call fee). Travel will be paid by customer. Inquire if you have any questions about your location.


Please note, any discounts subject to void the paid installation offer.

At Coffeeionado, professional installation is included with qualifying espresso machine purchases. Our goal is to make the process as seamless as possible — from coordinating the technician to getting your machine up and running on day one.


Which Machines Qualify

Free professional installation is included with all espresso machines of 2 groups or more where indicated on the product listing. This policy applies to espresso machines only and does not cover other coffee equipment such as grinders, brewers, or accessories.

If you are unsure whether your machine qualifies, contact us before purchasing and we'll confirm.


What's Included

  • Travel and labor costs for installation within the technician's service area (up to 2 hours of travel)
  • Setup, basic programming, and commissioning of the equipment
  • Scheduling during regular business hours, Monday through Friday
  • Associated taxes and fees related to the installation itself

Installation must be completed within 30 days of delivery of the equipment. The installation benefit lapses after this window and cannot be reinstated.


How Installation Is Arranged

Depending on your purchase, installation is handled one of two ways:

Arranged directly — In many cases, Coffeeionado or the manufacturer will coordinate and pay the technician on your behalf. We will contact you after your order is processed to schedule the visit.

Reimbursement — In some cases, you may be asked to arrange the installation locally using an authorized technician and submit a rebate form for reimbursement. Once approved, the covered amount will be refunded to the original payment method used for your order.

We will confirm which arrangement applies to your purchase at the time of order confirmation. If you have questions before purchasing, contact us and we'll walk you through it.


What's Not Included

The following are outside the scope of the installation policy and remain the customer's responsibility:

  • Travel or callout costs beyond the first 2 hours of the technician's travel time — if your location falls outside the local service area, the overage is your responsibility
  • Water filtration systems and installation materials — including plumbing fittings, tubing, plugs, outlets, and any other ancillary components required to prepare the site
  • Electrical or plumbing work — site preparation must be completed before the technician arrives
  • Training on equipment operation — installation covers commissioning only, not barista or operational training
  • False start or callout fees if the technician arrives and the site is not ready for installation

Important: If a technician arrives and cannot complete the installation because the site is unprepared, you will be responsible for any callout or false start fee charged by the technician. However, your installation benefit remains intact — the visit will be rescheduled at no additional cost to your policy.


Water Filtration Requirement

Water filtration must be installed and operational before or at the time of installation. This is not optional — operating a commercial espresso machine without proper filtration will void the manufacturer's warranty. If filtration is not in place at the time of the technician's visit, installation may need to be rescheduled and the callout fee will be your responsibility.

If you need guidance on water filtration requirements for your machine, contact us before scheduling your installation.


Service Area

Installation coverage is tied to the manufacturer's authorized technician service area, generally within a 1.5-hour radius of the nearest certified technician. If your location falls outside this area, Coffeeionado will make reasonable efforts to arrange a local authorized technician, but travel costs beyond the 2-hour coverage limit remain your responsibility.

Not sure if you're in a service area? Contact us before purchasing and we'll check your location.


After Installation

Once your machine is installed, we'll provide referrals for authorized service technicians in your area for ongoing maintenance and repairs. Coffeeionado offers lifetime support on all equipment we sell — we're here long after the install is done.


Governing Terms

This installation policy forms part of your agreement with Coffeeionado and is subject to our Terms of Sale and Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict, the Terms of Service governs.

Can I pick up the machine at your store?

We do not have a showroom or storefront for customer pickups, so orders cannot be picked up directly from us. That said, there is an exception for La Spaziale and La Pavoni products, you can contact us to arrange.

However, if you'd prefer, we can arrange to have your machine shipped to a local freight terminal/location for pickup instead. Let us know your city/state (or ZIP code), and we’d be happy to check the nearest terminal options for you.
