Watermark UK launches Saeco range with Aulika bean to cup coffee machine
Watermark UK has launched the Saeco range of one touch, espresso coffee machines as a mid-priced alternative to its premium Gaggia range. The first machine to be featured is the Saeco Aulika, a one touch bean to cup coffee machine capable of making freshly ground espresso, black coffee or cappuccino for locations serving around 50 cups of coffee a day.
The Aulika is very easy to use, with four buttons for main beverage selections and a graphical display showing text and icons for status of the machine. A built-in grinder with a 1kg capacity bean hopper ensures the freshest of grinds, on demand. The 4 litre water tank and 40 portion waste coffee drawer mean the operator is not constantly refilling and empting the machine in busy periods. It even remembers preferred coffee settings to speed up serving.
An adjustable pre-infusion feature allows for an even and full extraction of flavour from the coffee, while the adjustable dispensing position can accommodate different size cups/glasses from small espresso to tall latte. During quiet periods the machine switches to power saving mode. With attractive modern, curved lines and silver finish, a standard 13 amp power supply is all that is required to get the Aulika into action.
Robustly built and designed for easy maintenance, the Aulika’s coffee circuit is automatically rinsed every time the machine is switched on and off. The brewing unit at the heart of the Aulika should be removed weekly, rinsed under the tap and re-inserted. The machine automatically alerts the user when decalcification and water filter replacement are necessary.
The Aulika is supplied with a 2 litre milk cooler to store milk prior to serving. Overall dimensions of the machine are 33.4cm wide x 57.4cm high x 45.2 cm deep.
