Overview
Nurri R-TYPE SB Heat Exchanger Espresso Machines
Antonio Nurri , with over 20 years of experience with prior manufacturers in the industry, has developed his own line of well designed espresso machines. We introduce the Nurri R-Type heat exchanger espresso machine. We first saw the R-Type prototype at HOST in Milan, Italy in October, 2023. We fell in love with its design right away!

Features
Boiler
The boiler is made of stainless steel which is less susceptible to limescale. Typically stainless steel boilers do not retain their heat as well as copper or brass boilers. This machine compensates for that by being wrapped with insulation. The boiler also has a drain valve on the right side, and the drain hose is hidden behind the front wall behind the drip tray.
Brew Pressure Gauge
The single gauge will show the resistance created by fineness of the coffee grind, the amount of coffee in the filter basket, and the tamping pressure.
Vibration Pump
Pumps will degrade in performance over time. Replacing a vibration pump will cost less than a rotary vane pump.
Tank / Reservoir System
Open top style makes it easier to fill and clean when necessary. Always refill a reservoir outside of the machine. Clean the reservoir minimum once per week with dish-wash detergent and a good rinse.
Cool Touch Steam Wand
Commercial-style wand that can accommodate any size steaming pitcher. The 2-hole tip allows for a slower gradual buildup of microfoam. The steam arm is cool to the touch allowing you to quickly move it around.

Notes
General Espresso Machine Notes/Warnings:
- Upon first use (tank/reservoir models): On the initial start-up (or after a long period of non-use), it is important to make sure the pump is removing water from the tank. When the machine is powered on, you will hear the pump running. After 5 seconds, squeeze the in-line hose in the tank (usually the longest hose, has a particle filter attached). if you hear a different sound, this means the pump is working correctly. If not, immediately power down the machine and contact us. For more information, visit this page General Manual Pump Priming.
- Electrical: To avoid electrical damage to this espresso machine which is not considered a manufacturer's defect, please acquire and install a single-outlet surge suppressor rated at 1080 joules or higher. Without the recommended surge suppressor, the espresso machine can be damaged at the power switch, the electronics, the heating element, the pressurstat, or the wiring inside. For more information, visit this page Power Protection.
- Water: To increase the useful life and not damage your espresso machine, please use softened water. Softened water is water without calcium and magnesium, but still has other minerals for espresso extraction. Do not use distilled, purified, or reverse osmosis water as these types of water create oxidation with the metals and cause the same damaging effects as limescale. For more information, visit this page Water Choice.
- Descaling: We do not recommend descaling unless there is an issue with the espresso machine. Too much descaling can eat away at the metals and gaskets inside an espresso machine. As a preventative measure, we recommend using softened water as explained in the bullet point above.
- Backflushing: This procedure of cleaning the grouphead will need to be performed from time to time. For more information, visit this page Espresso Machine Backflush – Why 50?

Then use the Q&A tab found on that web page to ask your question.
- Lastly, and only if the first 2 options were exhausted, please use our parts inquiry page.
- Our call center does not have the training to handle parts inquiries for over 60,000 different parts items. Asking any questions regarding parts will more than likely result in you being referred to the above steps.
- Please note also that all parts purchases are non-returnable or refundable and do not include technical support, instructions, or warranties as the purchase price of any part does not cover the cost of technical support. Technical support is available for repairing equipment in our shop.
- Sorry, we will only special order a part for a model we carry AND was purchased through our supply chain.
- Since we are unaware of the mechanical, electrical, and/or plumbing expertise of a parts buyer or the tools owned by a parts buyer, we are never able to advise if a self-repair can be performed.

Is there any type of hot water dispenser?
-
Answered by the admin
Sorry, at the time of this writing, there is no hot water dispenser due to making the machine compact as possible. There is an easy access boiler drain valve on the right side under the frame and a hose for draining on the front.
What is the brew pressure set at? 9bar? Is the brew pressure adjustable?

Q What is the brew pressure set at? 9bar? Is the brew pressure adjustable? answer nowAsked by on June 18, 2025 11:11 amAnswered by the admin
One can not set brew pressure on a vibration pump machine unless it has a flow control. And, it takes a vibration pump up to ~9 seconds to get to full pressure with the right grind fineness.
One can set the maximum brew pressure through the OPV a.k.a. over-pressure valve. This is what can be adjusted. If the OPV is set for 9 bars, but the grind is coarse, it may only go up to 6 bars. So, the resistance created by your coffee grind is part of the equation to create brew pressure.
You can read more on our gauges white paper.
What is the brew temp set at?
-
Answered by the admin
On this machine, the brew temp is set by the steam pressurstat which is directly proportional to temperature. Unfortunately, there is no temp reading, and external factors, such as ambient temperature, actual line voltage, etc play a role in the output temperature at the grouphead. Even other machines with PID controls can be impacted as well by external factors.

Sorry, not on the fly. It can be adjusted through the OPV internally.
