The VA388 Black Eagle by Victoria Arduino is the espresso machine for those who dedicate their lives to coffee; who study, research, and experiment every day to bring a meaningful coffee experience to the cup.

A coffee machine for the specialty coffee shop, a machine that is stable, consistent and volumetric. In the continuous search for a consistent result in the cup, many baristas have verified and demonstrated how the volumetric system allows them to obtain a significantly higher quality repeatable product compared to the manual system. The volumetric version of the VA388 Black Eagle addresses this need and goes beyond. We wanted to create a coffee machine for specialty baristas, making a volumetric model with the greatest temperature stability to help baristas in their daily work. We wanted the new machine to improve the relationship between customer and barista. The designer Viglino adopted a soft style, with more curves, asymmetrical elements and a 49cm height.

Technology that ensures maximum temperature stability.

T3 technology allows the barista to set three independent temperatures for the brewing group, the water infusion, and the steam.

Gives control of the water supply’s thermal accuracy that results in temperature stability and ultimately, a perfect espresso.

All the espresso machine’s information displayed on an LED screen.

The VA388 “talks” to the barista and shares all the information provided by the T3 systems. The TFT display gives the barista all data in real time to offer the customer the best espresso. The display for each group shows the barista the temperatures of the steam boilers, the coffee, the group, and the delivery time. The Gravimetric model meters the shot by weight for the most precise shot consistency, giving the barista total control from the beginning to end.

Black Eagle 2/3 Group

• Baristas have full control of the machine thanks to a TFT display with rotary switch menu management.
• Baristas can set and monitor the weight of liquid
 in the cup, shot time, brewing temperature, group temperature, boiler pressure, additional pre-infusion and energy saving.
• “Cool Touch” steam wands for safety and easy to keep clean
• Ergonomic push/pull steam lever system for quick on/off control, and easy on the wrist
• Digit (volumetric) and Gravimetric systems available
