The Espresso Single Group is Slayer's single-group machine, built around a needle valve: it restricts water flow and lets you grind finer than usual, producing extraction profiles a standard group can't match. The brew tank, 1.1 liters with PID control, is kept separate from the steam tank, 3.3 liters, so each can hold its own temperature.
A three-position actuator on the group lets you shift water flow rate mid-brew, and a small window lets you watch the coffee saturate. The pump is a rotary vane unit.
An optional removable drip tray, sold separately, collects waste water for installations without a fixed drain. Finishes are customizable: wood, panel color, and cup rail trim. The group is rated for a million cycles: it's built for anyone who wants to control flow rate during extraction, behind a cafe counter or in a home kitchen.
