Strength in Numbers

The Power of One

XT does the heavy lifting and never breaks a sweat. Independent water flow at each group? Check. Precision PID temperature control? Check. Weight based dispensing of espresso shots in grams? Check. The beauty of XT is the complete independence of each group, effectively equating to one machine that is actually many machines. Program each group for different origins, or dedicate one to milk drinks, or one to 58mm portafilters. Each brewing group is a canvas, and your colors are temperature, dose, and flow. Dial in multiple coffees or simply enjoy the incredible precision of the weight system and its drop by drop control. Perfect for experimenting or uniformly precise brewing, why settle for one espresso machine when XT can be many?

Flow Profiling

The flow of water is a key variable in espresso extraction, influencing acidity, body, and balance in the cup. In addition to independent group temperature programming, XT is also engineered with a set of valves to regulate water flow per group as well. Using the key tucked inside XT’s tamper, a unique flow can be assigned per group by adjusting the corresponding valve with changes to flow rate displayed in real time on XT’s displays. Flow rate control is a largely untapped variable in espresso extraction. XT’s flow profiling can be used to reduce acidity in freshly roasted coffee, mute bitter characteristics of dark roasts, and compensate for oxidation in aged coffee.

Overlooked as an essential variable in espresso extraction, flow rate control unlocks infinite possibilities for the shots you’re pulling.

Weight System

With a precise flow meter and an algorithm that converts water flow into grams, XT’s weight system eliminates the need for scales by providing real time weight measurement for your extractions. Using the weight system, XT can record both the total quantity of water consumed and the gram dosage of your liquid espresso. This extreme accuracy allows you to program automatic dosing at XT’s groups for perfect extractions without a scale. Because the weight system displays both the total amount of water used to pull a shot and the amount of liquid in your cup, it makes programming XT’s dosing buttons incredibly simple and accurate.

Watch Now: Perfect Dosing, No Scales Required

XT ingeniously translates the flow of water into weight, measured in grams so can stow the scale while still dosing perfect shots.

XT Multi-Boiler System

Each of XT’s groups is monitored closely by a custom PID system, which regulates temperatures for even greater stability. Independent operation allows for groups to be programmed to their own unique temperatures within 1/10th of a degree Celsius to create unique extraction conditions for different coffees, different portafilters, or different styles of beverage. Boilers can also be switched on or off separately from one another and from the steam boiler. Unique to XT is that each group is also equipped with a touch display that reports its temperature in real time, along with flow rate and dose when extracting espresso.

XT introduces an updated PID for greater temperature accuracy, and with flow rate control, each group is effectively its own machine.

Steam Levers

XT debuted Dalla Corte’s updated steam levers that replaced the traditional knobs previously used on their commercial machines. When pushed down, the levers lock into place, allowing for continuous frothing at full power until released. Pressure from the wands can be throttled for a gentler roll by pushing the lever down halfway. By pushing the levers up, a more gentle jet of steam ise released which is perfect for purging condensation from the wands prior to steaming. The wands themselves use cool touch insulation to prevent accidental burns throughout the day and help keep milk from baking on for easier cleaning.

Watch Now: Powerful Steam, Precise Frothing

The precision steam levers can be throttled to control XT’s explosive steam power or locked in place for constant pressure.

MCS and GCS

XT’s commercial performance benefits greatly from the Milk Control and Grinder Control systems. The MCS eliminates the barrier of milk frothing and enables any barista to produce perfect milk drinks by simply pressing a button. Veteran users can use the MCS in tandem with XT’s steam wands to double their output. With GCS, XT can be connected to up to three hoppers via a combination of DC One and DC Two grinders. On a three group XT, this allows for up to 18 unique combinations of dose, hopper, and group. Once dialed in for a group, the hopper assigned to it will automatically adjust its grind to compensate for changes in extraction that occur throughout the day, saving time, coffee, and money.

Watch Now: Great Coffee Makes Great Memories

The MCS and GCS ensure consistent milk foam and grinds so even an imperfect barista can still make a perfect cappuccino.

Construction

XT was designed to elevate the aesthetics of a Dalla Corte commercial machine. The striking, no-frills exterior serves as a reflection of the commonsense internal layout of its plumbing and electronics, allowing customers to drink with their eyes before their shot has even been pulled. Behind the bar, simple touch displays allow for easy programming and tell the baristas everything they need to know about the coffee they’re brewing. XT is constructed with FDA standard lead free brass, carries an NSF certification, and is designed to allow servicing of one or more groups while still brewing and steaming with the remaining boilers.

Deliberate material choices, customization options, and intelligent design make XT the perfect example of a modern Dalla Corte machine.

XT

Toeing a fine line between commercial workhorse and precision instrument, XT leverages technology to improve both its efficiency and the in-cup result of the espresso it brews. XT holds the distinction of being the first Dalla Corte machine to feature independent water flow profiling at every group. Building on the core Multi-Boiler technology, XT also introduces an updated PID system to more precisely regulate brew temperatures and features independent group displays to present brewing variables in real time. Dosing is controlled by the Weight System which converts the flow of water into grams with extreme accuracy and eliminates the need for scales.
