Refurbished Nurri R-TYPE SB HX Espresso Machine – Sidewalk Sale

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!

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.

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?
