Unica PRO - Turquoise Blue
UNIQUE. PRECISE. AESTHETIC. We spent years searching for the perfect espresso machine, the one that checked ALL the boxes! Nothing, it didn’t exist. Then we finally came across the newly launched Unica PRO and honestly couldn’t believe it was real. After running the machine through its paces on a daily basis in our roastery for a whole year, we decided to become specialized retailers for it and let you have part in the future of espresso!
The benefits of ordering it through us as roasters instead of coffee equipment retailers? Our extensive knowledge on this unordinary, feature packed machine and its next level flow profiling capabilities will be transmitted to you in a FREE, hands-on workshop, and we’ll include four 250 gram bags of your choice from our current espresso beans line-up together with our customized flow profiling recipes for each chosen coffee. This package will set you up pulling elaborate shots at home, at your coffee business or in the office in no time!
As every machine is handcrafted and assembled to order, current delivery times are approximately 4 weeks.

Precise Flow Profiling - The Unica pro gives you the ability to pre-define the amount of water that flows through the coffee puck at any given time, regardless of back pressure. This allows you to change the flavor of the espresso as desired and bring out more subtle flavors in the resulting espresso. Choose between different shot styles: from Manual Lever Profiles (e.g. Londinium), through Blooming Shots up to Turbo Blooms.
Future Proof - The software development is ongoing and community driven, constantly adding new functions to the machine and keeping up with the latest industry trends in espresso extraction. The hardware itself has been developed from the ground up and is years ahead of the competition, in particular regarding energy consumption and the med-tech inspired pump allowing for unseen flow profiling capabilities.
Ultra Fast Heat-up Time - Say goodbye to long waiting after power on! The Unica pro is ready for you after just a few seconds. Yes seconds, not minutes. Hot Water: 4 seconds, Brew Group (set at 92°C): 90 seconds, Steam (set at 135°C): 110 seconds. We timed those, in real conditions.
Exact Volumetric Dosing - In addition to precise temperature and reproducible extraction time, reproducible dosing of the water amount is essential for the taste of the coffee. Thanks to precise volumetric dosing, the Unica pro is able to precisely control this critical variable of the coffee extraction. Simply set the desired brew ratio in the recipe, add the desired amount of coffee ground to the portafilter, and the machine does the rest fully automatically. An additional scale or timer are not necessary.
Most Energy Efficient Machine in its Class - Sustainability is key to us. That's why we have invested heavily in the area of energy efficiency. The Unica pro consumes an astounding 70 kWh/year in ECO mode, making it the most energy-efficient machine among professional espresso machines. At an average electricity price of 0.20 CHF/kWh in Switzerland, more than 300 CHF in electricity costs can be saved compared to a dual-boiler system with an energy consumption of 1560.9 kWh/year.
Programmable Hot Water Dispenser - Innovative hot water dispenser where you have 3 recipes to choose from and you can set the temperature and volume you want (up to 200 ml). Americano, hot tea, baby formula? No matter what you need hot water for, the Unica pro delivers the desired amount at the desired temperature.
Simultaneous Milk Frothing and Coffee Extraction - The built-in 0.5 l steam boiler allows you to simultaneously froth milk during coffee extraction. The steam power is also sufficient for the high coffee throughput in the gastro area.
Cool Touch Steam Wand - The heat-insulated steam wand becomes only moderately warm even during prolonged operation. This effectively reduces the risk of scalding during operation, reduces the adhesion of milk residues and makes cleaning the steam wand very easy after frothing.
Steam Timer Function - The steam timer function allows you to foam your preferred amount of milk in a repeatable and automatic way. You are able to set two different steam timers from 1 to 60 seconds on the upward and downward lever motions to accommodate for two different pitcher sizes.
Heated Cup Tray - In order to preheat the cups optimally, you have the possibility to adjust the temperature of the cup tray according to your individual needs. Or just turn it off.
Touchscreen with User Friendly Interface - With a touch screen, the Unica pro is easy and intuitive to operate. This makes adjusting and setting customized extraction recipes or other settings a breeze.
Intelligent Espresso Machine - The Unica pro is an intelligent espresso machine that uses our self-developed algorithms for extraction optimization and provides grind size feedback after each extraction.
Connectivity - The Unica pro is also an Internet of Things (IoT) device, which allows you to connect it to other devices via Wifi or Bluetooth. You can also update its firmware via this way or be notified when there are new firmware updates. The available USB port gives you an easy way to update the firmware on the unica pro or upload/download new recipes.
Create & manage Recipes - With the Unica pro, you can create and manage up to 24 recipes. And it comes with 4 standard recipes (espresso, lungo, americano, blooming) that can each be set to single and double shot. The americano recipe works in combination with the hot water tap to automatically deliver the chosen volume in the cup.
Auto Flushing - Flushing the brew group before or after coffee is brewed is important to ensure cleanliness of the brew group and consistent coffee taste. The unica pro detects when a portafilter is removed and performs an auto-flushing routine if desired. This function is individually adjustable.
Automated Cleaning Process - In the menu you will find cleaning routines (group head and descaling) that guide you step by step through the automated cleaning process of the Unica pro.
Stainless Steel Water Tank - The Unica pro has a stainless steel tank with a filling volume of 1.8 liters that can be easily removed from the front and simply put in the dishwasher for cleaning purposes.
Manufactured Entirely Without Copper and Brass - Only food-approved materials are used throughout the Unica pro's brewing path: No copper or brass. Mainly stainless steel and food-approved plastics are used.
Fixed Water Connection (Option) - It is also possible to operate the Unica pro with a fixed water connection.
Developed and Manufactured in Switzerland - Unica Coffee delivers Swiss precision, technological innovation and advanced solutions for coffee preparation.
