Crossland Coffee CC1 PID Espresso Machine
Do you want Electronic Temperature Control? A small machine big on feature?
Enter the Crossland Coffee CC1! Enjoy electronic temperature control with PID! It has built-in pre-infusion and soak timing!
Its digital display shows brewing temperature and shot timing. Its multifunction keypad allows volumetric programming and programmable pre-infusion! And, they did not skimp on its commercial portafilter! Sized at 58mm, the brass portafilter weighs in at 17.6 ounces.
Although the CC1 has been launched for more than 2 years prior to 1st-line Equipment carrying the machine, we finally decided to stock this model as we wanted all the ‘new machine bugs’ to be worked out. This is a standard strategy of 1st-line, unlike our competitors, to not always rush to carry something new and then customers have to deal with tons of issues after the purchase.
- Programmable pre-infusion – allows the grind to pre-infuse with hot water from the boiler (0 to 15 seconds) and a waiting time (0 to 5 seconds) before full pump pressure starts. Total coffee extraction time can be between 20 and 100 seconds (includes the pre-infusion time as well as the waiting time).
-
Multi-directional steam wand – with single hole steam tip and rubber protector.
- Electronic temperature control with PID – the P,I, and D can all be individually adjusted. Although the PID controller controls both the coffee boiler and steam thermoblock temperatures, PID controller can only be programmed for the coffee boiler as the steam thermoblock is pre-set and locked. The difference in the grouphead temperature and the boiler temperature has a difference. This is known as the delta. The delta can be managed by managing the Display temperature offset.
- Commercial 58 mm portafilter – fits with a host of other 58mm basket manufacturers.
- LCD display – shows icons for Pre-Steam, Dripping Time, Water Temp, Waiting time, Steam ready, Pod, 2, 1 cup, or pod espresso menu option, and Steam. Display also shows Temperature and Mode (F or C).
- Three way solenoid valve – allows backflushing and quick removal of the portafilter after extraction.
- Smart steam valve – in coffee mode, the steam knob can be rotated to full open, and the steam valve stem depresses an internal switch to engage the pump to pump water through the coffee boiler and the valve. On most other machines in this price class, one must depress the coffee switch to start the pump after the steam valve has been opened.
- 3 programmable menu selections – single cup, double cup, and pod.
- Vibration pump – rated for 60 watts.
-
Integrated shot timer – shows timing of extraction.
- Large 500 cc coffee boiler – made of stainless steel, incorporates a heating element of 1150 watts, and is insulated on the sides for additional thermo-stability.
- Temperature sensors – located external to the coffee boiler and steam thermoblock.
- Steam thermoblock – made of cast aluminum and has a heating element of 350 watts.
- Removable cup tray – located on top of the machine.
- Passively-heated grouphead – offset from boiler, made of chrome plated brass.
- Accessories included – heavy weight 58mm tamper, dual spout portafilter, 1-cup filter basket, 2-cup filter basket, blind filter basket (for backflushing), instructional manual (in English).
