The Crem One Espresso Machine Range Explained - Our Guide To The Different Models

The Crem One series offers four distinct models designed to cater to various levels of coffee enthusiasts, from home users to professional baristas. Each model within the range provides a different set of features, allowing users to select the machine that best meets their specific needs. Let's take a closer look at the differences between the Crem One 1B PID Dual, 2B PID Dual, 2B R-GSP Dual, and 2B R-LFPP Dual models.

Crem One 1B PID Dual

The 1B PID Dual is the entry-level model in the series, featuring a single boiler with a 1.7-litre capacity. It utilizes a vibration pump and is equipped with the classic E-61 group head, which is known for its stability and consistent brewing performance. This model is perfect for users who prioritize simplicity and reliability, with features like cool touch wands, ½ turn knobs, a smart drip tray, and auto water tank & mains connection. The Temp & Time Display with two buttons provides straightforward control, making it an excellent choice for home users or small cafés.

Crem One 2B PID Dual, 2B R-GSP Dual, and 2B R-LFPP Dual

Moving up in the range, the Crem One 2B PID Dual introduces a dual boiler system (1.7L + 1.2L), which provides separate boilers for brewing and steaming, allowing for greater efficiency and consistency. The 2B R-GSP Dual model builds on this by adding a rotatory pump, Gradual Soft Pre-Infusion (GSP), and enhanced pressure control, making it suitable for more experienced users who want finer control over their espresso extraction.

The top-of-the-line 2B R-LFPP Dual model includes all the features of the R-GSP but adds Low Flow Pressure Profiling (LFPP), a cutting-edge technology that allows users to adjust pressure profiles in real-time. This model is ideal for professional baristas or coffee enthusiasts who want to experiment with different brewing techniques and recipes. All 2B models feature an OLED display with four buttons, an external USB port for software updates, and come with the Barista Kit Pro, which includes a wider range of accessories compared to the 1B model.
