Arduino E1 Prima & Prima EXP espresso machines
(NEO/ T3)

E1 Prima EXP's Pure Brew technology allows for filter coffee and tea brewing

Machine
Description

Victoria Arduino E1 Prima and Prima EXP, are the 1-group versions of the new Eagle One. Built on the platform of the official World Barista Championship “T3” espresso machines, it is ideal for those wanting unprecedented performance with reduced power consumption and a lower environmental impact, for residential, office, coffee roasters, or very light commercial use.

The design of the Prima was inspired not only by Arduino’s impressive history, but also by its focus on efficiency and sustainability, in a beautiful, compact, and minimalist design.

“NEO” engineering (New Engine Optimization) utilizes instant warming tech and smaller dual insulated boilers – this means quicker heating and lower energy consumption. Program your extraction temperature to 1/10th of a degree, and the brew group automatically matches that for absolute temperature stability.

The new Prima EXP version adds the game-changing PureBrew technology, a three-phase extraction methods that allows you to brew rich, aromatic filter coffee and tea, in a new patented conical double mesh portafilter basket. Simply swap out the standard portafilter for the PureBrew filter and customize your brew settings to experience every coffee bean’s unique story, from flavour profile to region.

The brew group has a blacked-out “Ghost Display” that reads the coffee boiler temperature, your espresso shot time, and messages/alerts. The 3 buttons manage your espresso shot dosing, and are used for basic programming of brew temperature + volumetric dosing, and to initiate the automatic backflushing cycle.

You can unleash the full potential of your Prima via the new Victoria Arduino E1 Prima App. Easily control dozens of parameters: on/off times, recipes, espresso shot volumes & brew temperatures (with greater accuracy), PureBrew parameters (EXP version), service & maintenance features, and more.

You can also create and share information & coffee profiles with other Prima or Prima EXP owners; or Roasters can share profiles for their various beans with customers who also use the App.

The machine can deliver the most powerful 2.3 Bar steam pressure (vs. standard 1.2 Bar) with one-touch controls & cool-touch wands, and steam tips ideal for micro-foaming. It’s also equipped with automatic back-flushing, adjustable tea water temperature & pump pressure, plus much more.

E1 Prima comes in a Matte Black, Pearl White or Steelux (chrome) finish. The Prima EXP is available in these classic finishes, in addition to Metallic Lavender, Blue Pearl, Roman Coin, and Sparkling Coral.

Some finishes can be ordered with matching Atom-65 high-performance grinders, and either Prima model can be ordered with custom colours.

1-Group Version (Pour-Over with Direct Waterline + Drain Kit):

Suitable for: demanding prosumers at home, small office settings, coffee roasters & small shops requiring adjustable brew temperatures

Features

  • NEO Technology (New Engine Optimization) guarantees high performance + reduced energy consumption, using PID + an independent insulated steel coffee boiler to instantly heat water only as needed

  • PureBrew technology (EXP version only) creates a rich, aromatic filter coffee and tea via a customizable programmed three-phase extraction method utilising a new patented conical double mesh portafilter basket

  • MyVictoriaArduino Bluetooth App allows Baristas, Roasters, or Chain Operators to modify, track or share settings, recipes & profiles

  • Barista controls everything: all “MyCoffee” recipes, espresso shot volumes & Auto-Purge, pre-infusion & Pulse-Jet, steam PID (view & adjust boiler temperature), brew & group temperatures, on/off time, service & maintenance features (Component Function Test, Automatic Backflushing, etc), alarms, etc., through App

  • “Ghost Display” above each group has a shot-timer, and also signals when the Barista hasn’t removed the coffee puck

  • Volumetric Dosing means Barista programs 3 espresso shot volumes (single/double/short/long/continuous) for one-touch operation & consistency between users

  • Ghost Display buttons also allow manual programming of espresso shot volumes, PID & Automated Backflushing

  • Auto-Purge cleanses the brew-group by purging it automatically when the portafilter is removed

  • Adjustable Boiler Pressure (up to 2.5 Bars vs standard 1.2 Bars) delivers the most powerful & sustained dry steam pressure + adjustable temperature on tea/Americano water

  • Electronic Steam Control reduces maintenance & avoids stress on Barista’s hand – touch top for purging or bottom to lock it for continuous steaming (with 2-minute emergency timeout)

  • New Gooseneck steam wand with Cool Touch gives a wider range of steaming positions and is safer & easier to clean + tucks neatly away into the redesigned drip tray

  • EasyCream System (optional) has programmable settings for 2 different micro-foam styles or temperatures – the adjustable 2-stage air induction, temperature control & vortex generating nozzle delivers the ultimate one-touch automatic micro-foam & optimum consistency

  • LED Work Lights illuminate workspace or can be turned off independently

  • Comes set for use with the built-in water reservoir and includes optional direct water-line (and external pump-pressure adjustment) + drain kit

  • Portafilters are solid stainless steel with ergonomic molded handles & leather grips for minimizing stress on Barista’s wrist

  • Automated Backflushing for fast & easy group cleaning

  • Stainless Steel + formed aluminum body panels on a solid steel frame, including lighting on the lower portion of the back panel

STEAM WAND OPTIONS

The Eagle One can be purchased with an automatic steam wand with 2 individual settings (additional charge applies), replacing the traditional steam wand.

The EasyCream Automatic Micro-Foaming System changes the way the Electronic Steam Controls operate. Once pressed (up or down), the modified wand steams in a unique angular direction while monitoring the temperature with an integrated probe, so it knows:

  • when to start & stop injecting air for perfect microfoam,
  • and when to stop steaming, to standardize milk temperature across all users.

EasyCream requires no input from the barista to perfectly texture the milk; the barista simply places the wand in the pitcher of cold milk and when it reaches the desired (programmed) temperature the steam automatically turns off, leading to a consistent drink, regardless of the skill-level of the barista.

And the EasyCream Steam Wand can be programmed with 2 completely different settings (e.g. one setting could create foamier milk at a lower temperature and the other a creamier & hotter milk), and is activated by pressing up or down on the Electronic Steam Control.
