Introducing the Iberital Referent Espresso Machine to Southern Coffee Machines Co!
 
The Iberital Referent 3 Group is a commercial single-boiler espresso machine designed for sustainability, barista efficiency, and customisation in high-traffic environments like cafés and hotels
 
The Iberital Referent 3 Group is available in two main configurations: Standard and Alto (Tall Cup). While both shares the same internal engineering and eco-friendly build, they differ in cup clearance to accommodate different service styles.
Standard
: Designed for traditional ceramic cups (espresso and cappuccino).
Alto (Tall Cup)
: Features a higher group head clearance specifically for large takeaway cups, common in high-street coffee shops.
Cup Clearance: The Alto model typically provides significantly more space; for reference, similar Iberital tall cup models often offer up to 168mm from the group head
 
Key Performance Features
High-Volume Output: Designed for venues needing higher throughput during peak rushes, typically supporting teams of baristas.
Power & Stability: Features a 5,000W heating element and an 18L - 20L boiler, ensuring consistent steam pressure and recovery during heavy use.
PID Temperature Control: An electronic system that provides stable brewing temperatures for repeatable flavor profiles across all three groups.
Volumetric Dosing: Precise control with electronic dosing in millilitres (4 programmable doses plus a continuous button).
Programmable Pre-infusion: Allows for customisable ON/OFF times and unique pre-infusion profiles for each dose selection.
 
Barista Workflow & Safety
Cold Touch Steam Wands: Two anti-burn stainless steel wands that remain cool during use, improving safety and making cleaning faster by preventing milk from baking on.
LCD Interface: An intuitive display for adjusting parameters such as temperature, extraction time, and the Auto ON/OFF timer.
LED-Lit Workspace: The barista area is fully illuminated by white LEDs to ensure clear visibility for extraction and milk texturing.
Ergonomic Handling: Equipped with rapid-turn knobs for steam/water and ergonomic filter holders to reduce barista strain.
