Zero Limits

Infinite Possibilities

A time traveler from both the past and the future, the Zero Barista improves on core technologies like the Multi-Boiler System while exploring new frontiers of possibility with Digital Flow Regulation. Blending elements of both Mina and XT, Zero delivers the capacity of multiple groups with the flexibility of flow control. The result is a machine with zero limits, a machine that not only chases perfection, but achieves it. Dial in coffees on a per-group basis. Temperature, dose, and flow are yours to command, with freestyle flow control you can navigate between four unique water flow rates (3, 5, 7, 9 g/sec) using the lever at the group. You can also extract at a fixed flow rate with the precision of weight based dosing.

Freestyle Flow Control

Adapting the Digital Flow Regulation technology that was pioneered by Mina, Zero features a new variation that unlocks four water flow rates that you can shift between during extraction. As a result, baristas can adjust between 3, 5, 7, and 9 g/sec flow rates using the lever at each group in order to adjust the rate during extraction. Each group can also be fixed at one of the four flow rates when programming the automatic weight-based dosing functions which dispense a preset amount of water at the touch of a button. The weight control system also doubles as a built-in scale, and can be used to calculate the in-cup weight of your shot with incredible accuracy.`

Freestyle flow control unlocks variable flow rate brewing across multiple groups, allowing baristas to further customize extractions at the commercial level.

Zero Multi-Boiler System

Paolo Dalla Corte’s signature Multi-Boiler technology has received a substantial upgrade with Zero. This latest iteration features best-in-class temperature stability, with improved boiler capacities of 0.75 L per group, up from 0.5 L. The increased volume adds greater thermal mass to keep temperature constant during longer extractions. Each group is made with 4 kg of lead-free brass and can be adjusted within 1/10th of a degree Fahrenheit. Having each boiler isolated allows for completely unique brew temperatures to be set at each group, along with independent operation and even maintenance for more flexibility in the workplace.

Watch Now: The Best Gets Better

Zero builds on the legendary foundation of the Multi-Boiler System with increased capacities of 0.75L per group for greater thermal stability.

Striking Modern Design

Zero did more than redefine how espresso can be brewed, but also how an espresso machine can look. Partnering with the legendary Emo design firm, Dalla Corte approached Zero with the mentality that they were building a machine that embodied modern trends and concerns. Ergonomics, eco friendliness, and ultimately aesthetics all played a role in the conception and creation of Zero. Dalla Corte was so successful that the machine won them an iF design award in 2021. With Zero on the bar, your customers will know just by looking that they’re in for a truly unique and exceptional experience.

If your machine is the first thing your customers see in your shop, it helps when you make the best impression.

Ergonomic Operation

The phrase “For baristas, by baristas” is about more than just pulling a great shot of espresso. When creating Zero, Dalla Corte paid extra attention to design decisions aimed at improving ease of use for the people operating the machine. The group interface, the heart of the barista experience, has been overhauled for readability, with clear interactive elements and large, plain text to communicate information about each extraction. The portafilters feature a new, more comfortable shape that is echoed in the steam lever, and the oversized steam wands feature robust insulation and are long enough for hands-free milk frothing and produce perfect foam in seconds.

Watch Now: Look, Touch, Brew

Sophisticated but also extremely approachable, the Zero Barista takes the process of pulling the best espresso in the world and makes it simple and repeatable.

Construction

Underneath its award winning exterior, the Zero Barista is built with quality materials that contribute both to its performance and its ecological footprint. All brass used in the Zero Barista is lead free and doesn’t release nickel or chromium into the water. At the same time, the use of brassl provides tremendous thermal stability and heat retention to reduce energy consumption. A true product of Italy, each machine is handcrafted in Italy, using many materials sourced from the country and the materials lend the machine a tangible quality that can only truly be experienced with hands-on use.

Watch Now: Traceable Without a Trace

Style should never come at the expense of quality materials and authentic origin. Zero is made in Italy with lead free brass and doesn’t release nickel or chromium into the water.

Maintenance

Zero will be the heart of your business, and keeping it pumping during the busiest moments is vital. Fortunately, Dalla Corte has simplified several aspects of essential maintenance, including backflushing and keeping your service boiler filled with clean water. Each of the Zero Barista’s groups can be backflushed independently and automatically while the others remain in service. And when you need to refill the service boiler with fresh water, the automated refill function will completely flush the boiler. Internally, the essential parts and components of the machine are easy to access and easy to maintain.

Watch Now: Perfect Espresso, Perfect Cleanliness

Zero revolutionizes espresso brewing, because Dalla Corte has already revolutionized cleaning and maintenance.
