Bosco spring lever espresso machines

Buy a Bosco if you have a cafe or other commercial environment with high throughput; the higher the better for these machines

Bosco: living proof that high-tech doesn't always mean 'better'.

Since inception in 2004 we have always used lever machines.  Espresso tastes significantly better from a lever machine. A lever machine opens out the roast, the delicate complexity becomes apparent, and the taste moves from 'flat' to an outstanding three dimensional taste experience.

We have looked at La Marzocco, Slayer, Synesso, and the rest. They're beautiful, feature-rich, and make wonderful coffee in skilled hands.  However, they are complex with...

Olympia Cremina

Buy an Olympia Cremina for your home if you are an espresso fanatic and want to become deeply involved in the espresso creation process and be rewarded with the ultimate espresso.  Peerless where space is at a premium and you demand 'best in class' engineering with low maintenance costs and most likely something to pass on to your children.  Not the weapon of choice for people who need to make espresso for a large number of people (i.e. more than 4) on a regular basis, or who do not wish to become involved in the espresso creation process.

This is...

DeLonghi bean-to-cup espresso machines

What's a bean-to-cup machine?  It's where freshly roasted, ground on demand, Londinium espresso beans meet convenience

Londinium espresso beans in the top, water in the side, milk in the front, and push the button

DeLonghi bean-to-cup machines are the best way to create espresso where concessions have to be made to convenience

DeLonghi bean to cup machines are the number one in the UK by both volume and value 

From the very first cup you will discover that Nespresso and other capsule and pod systems are a pale imitation

Every DeLonghi bean-to-cup machine purchased from Londinium Espresso is supplied with...

Bacchi espresso machine and parts

Buy the Bacchi if you want to become involved in the espresso creation process and pursue the ultimate espresso but are constrained by budget, or do not need to make espresso in any great number.  Equally, buy the Bacchi if you want to enjoy espresso in the great outdoors.  There is no other 'stove top' that we know of that makes real espresso.  The Bacchi makes real espresso.  Made in Trieste, Italy.

Do not for a moment think that the Bacchi is merely a 'steam driven' espresso machine in the style of a Bialetti moka pot.  The Bacchi utilises a...

Mazzer doser-less grinders: Robur and Mini

Mazzer grinders do not require any introduction.  These grinders run as smooth as turbines.  Mazzer are the commercial standard in coffee grinders the world over, and have been for years.  As a result service expertise and spare parts are readily available wherever you are.

Prices for both grinders includes delivery by courier on a 'next day' service to anywhere in the UK.

We only supply these grinders in silver, 240V, with UK plugs.

Robur Electronic

The Robur electronic is Mazzer's flagship grinder.  The prodigious grind retention of the Robur makes it unsuitable for a domestic grinder in our opinion, unless...

Two Ancap espresso cups and saucers

The iconic ‘Ancap’ espresso cup. Manufactured in Italy with hand applied decals, then kiln fired a second time to seal the decal for years of vigorous use in commercial environments. The thick wall porcelain with the deep high quality glaze distinguishes them clearly from cheap imitations. The thick wall ensures the espresso retains its heat, and the small surface area of the cup ensures the crema forms dense & deep, not being able to disperse. No pitting in the glaze where the handle joins the body of the cup, as is often found on low quality cups.

This second edition...

Reg Barber Londinium Espresso tampers

Pure indulgence.  The handle is made from solid wenge wood and the base from solid brass; you'll wear out before these tampers do.  Man has been making tool handles out of hardwood for a long time, and we still think it is the correct choice.  Whatever the weather, hardwood is never too hot or too cold, it just feels right, unlike metal & synthetic handles.  After much deliberation and experimentation, we changed our order from 'c-flat' bases to just plain old flat, on the grounds that we don't really buy into the idea that a convex face helps to seal...

Fine digital scales with calibration weight

Do you know what 16g of coffee looks like?  Neither do we, that’s why we use fine scales every time we run a new coffee.

Fine scales remove one more variable from the espresso equation.  These scales will quickly pay for themselves by significantly reducing the amount of coffee you waste, and dramatically improve the taste of your espresso.  You can easily taste the difference in your espresso when you change the dose by as little as 2 grams, hence the need for precision.  Two AAA batteries and a 200g calibration weight are included.  The scales are accurate to...

Swissgold permanent coffee filters

In our ignorance we happily used a paper filter for years. Then we found Swissgold permanent filters.

Proudly made in Switzerland, the quality of this product is self-evident the moment you taste the coffee that flows from it. Unlike a paper filter, the Swissgold filter does not absorb any of the lipids and prevent them from flowing into your cup. Why is this important? Well the lipids contain most of a coffee’s flavour. Unlike methods of preparation where your coffee comes into contact with aluminium or stainless steel, the Swissgold filter will not taint your coffee as it is plated...
