The morning rush doesn't care about your intentions; it only cares about your output. Placing a three-group machine on the bar is a signal to your staff and your regulars that the coffee program is the focal point of the business, not an afterthought. The Sanremo Cafe Racer relies on its Heart of Steel to provide a rigid, temperature-stable foundation that handles the physical demands of high-volume service. You are buying the ability to stop worrying about your equipment so you can start worrying about your scale.

Multi-Boiler System

A true multi-boiler architecture that guarantees unmatched thermal stability, keeping brew and steam circuits isolated for consistent shot temperatures under heavy commercial load. This stability helps preserve extraction consistency shot to shot.

3-Group Configuration

Runs three groups simultaneously so multiple baristas can operate separate stations during peak service. Built for the high-volume throughput that busy cafés and events demand.

Heart of Steel

The 'Heart of Steel' design ensures maximum thermal stability across groups, helping the machine maintain consistent brew temperatures throughout long service periods. That thermal mass supports repeatable extraction during rushes.

Soft Pre-Infusion Flow Active System

Provides meticulous control of water flow and pre-infusion timing so operators can tame extraction ramp-up and reduce variability. Fine control over pre-infusion is especially valuable during sustained service when consistency matters.

Smart Control & Volumetric Pump

Smart-touch settings and programmable dosing deliver precise control over each group, while the volumetric pump ensures consistent performance and pressure under all conditions—critical for reproducible shots during back-to-back orders.

Commercial Build & Easy Service

Stainless-steel construction and commercial-grade components are built to run daily and be maintained on a commercial schedule. Designed for Easy Service with straightforward internal access to minimize downtime and simplify routine maintenance.

The Coffeeionado Take

Who's It For:

Specialty cafés that showcase extraction — Naked bottomless portafilter lets baristas and customers see the extraction in real time — a genuine training and quality tool
High-volume coffee bars with skilled operators — Multi-boiler system with 400–700 shot capacity and smart controls handles peak service while giving baristas temperature precision
Coffee training centers and roastery showrooms — The bottomless portafilter combined with multi-boiler control makes this an ideal demonstration and training machine

Right For You If:

Your daily shot count is 300–700 and you want the diagnostic visibility of a naked portafilter to monitor and improve extraction quality.
Your baristas are experienced enough to benefit from multi-boiler temperature control and can handle the technique demands of bottomless portafilter work.
You have direct plumbing, 220V power (NEMA 6-50), and counter space for a full 3-group commercial footprint.

Things to Consider:

Bottomless portafilters are unforgiving — channeling, poor distribution, and grind issues are immediately visible, which is great for training but means every puck prep mistake shows. Your baristas need solid technique.
Multi-boiler precision comes with higher energy consumption and maintenance complexity than single-boiler or HX alternatives — budget accordingly for operating costs.
The naked portafilter is the differentiator here — if your team is not ready for bottomless extraction work or you do not need the diagnostic benefit, the standard Cafe Racer offers the same internals with conventional portafilters.

Our Take:

The Cafe Racer Naked is for cafés that take extraction seriously enough to show their work — the bottomless portafilter is not just a visual gimmick, it is a genuine quality control tool that exposes every flaw in the puck. If your baristas have the chops and you want a machine that doubles as a training platform, this is the one.

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

How to Choose a Commercial Espresso Machine

How to choose a commercial espresso machine based on real volume numbers, peak hour output, and drink mix — not vague categories.

How to Choose a Commercial Grinder

Your espresso machine gets all the attention. The grinder does all the work. Every variable that determines shot quality — particle size, extraction evenness, dose consistency — starts at the grinder.

How to Design Your Cafe: Build Your Bar for the Rush

Design your café bar for peak volume, not average traffic. Equipment layout, station design, staffing ratios, and tools that remove steps — what actually matters during the rush.

Setting Up Your Commercial Espresso Machine Right

Water pressure, electrical specs, drain slope, filter flushing — what actually goes into a commercial espresso machine setup, and what gets skipped.

Product FAQ

Does the Sanremo Café Racer Naked Automatic use a rotary pump or a vibratory pump?

The Sanremo Café Racer line uses a commercial‑grade rotary pump, which provides consistent pressure, supports direct plumbing, and is quieter than typical vibratory pumps.

Is the Café Racer Naked Automatic a direct-plumbed machine, or can it use a water reservoir?

The Café Racer Naked Automatic is designed primarily as a direct-plumbed commercial espresso machine. It connects to your main water line and usually does not include an onboard reservoir. Check with your dealer for any site-specific installation kits or options.

Does this machine have programmable pre-infusion and pressure profiling?

Yes. The Café Racer Naked Automatic offers programmable pre-infusion through its electronic controls. Full manual pressure profiling is not standard like on lever or true profiling machines, but the machine maintains stable pressure via its pump and multi-boiler system, and pre-infusion parameters can be set per program.

Are the steam wands cool-touch or no-burn, and how powerful is the steam?

The Café Racer features cool-touch, anti-burn steam wands that stay significantly cooler to the touch than traditional wands and reduce milk residue buildup. It uses a dedicated steam boiler, delivering strong, dry steam suitable for high-volume milk drink preparation.

Can I independently control the temperature of each group head?

Yes. Each group on the Café Racer has its own dedicated brew boiler with independent temperature control. This allows you to set different temperatures for different coffees or recipes directly through the machine’s interface.

What type of volumetric controls or automation does the ‘Automatic’ model provide?

The Naked Automatic version includes volumetric dosing: you can program multiple shot volumes per group (e.g., single, double, lungo). Once set, the machine automatically stops the shot at the programmed volume, supporting consistent extraction and workflow in busy environments.

What electrical requirements and power options are needed for installation in a US café?

Most US Café Racer configurations require a dedicated 220–240V circuit and draw commercial-level amperage that varies by group count (for example, around 20–30A for 2-group and higher for 3-group). A dedicated breaker, proper grounding, and professional installation are strongly recommended. Exact specs should be confirmed from the machine’s technical sheet before purchase.

Is water filtration required, and will using hard or unfiltered water void the warranty?

Sanremo and US distributors strongly recommend a proper commercial water filtration and softening system. Using water outside the manufacturer’s hardness and TDS specifications can cause scale buildup and is a common reason for voided or limited warranty coverage. Always check local water quality and install an appropriate filtration system before connecting the machine.
