Restaurants running a full dining room face a particular problem: coffee arrives in one concentrated wave at the end of service. The Expobar Zircon 2 Group Plus is specified for that kind of demand, covering venues of up to around 125 covers and daily volumes between roughly 50 and 300 coffees.
How it performs
A heat exchanger sits at the core, drawing brew water through the boiler so espresso temperature stays stable even while the steam wands are working hard. That combination of consistent extraction plus steam on demand is what separates genuine commercial equipment from a scaled-up domestic machine. The electronic switchboard gives precise, programmable control over each drink, so shot volumes stay identical across shifts. A dedicated hot water outlet handles teas and longer drinks without occupying a group, and the stainless steel body keeps everything looking sharp on a customer-facing bar. Because programming is held in the switchboard rather than in a barista’s memory, standards hold up on quieter shifts as well as busy ones.
Key features
- Two group heads for simultaneous espresso service
- Heat exchanger boiler for stable brewing while steaming
- Electronic switchboard with programmable drink selections
- Separate hot water outlet for teas and americanos
- Twin steam wands for cappuccino and latte milk
- Stainless steel construction suited to daily commercial use
Best suited to restaurants, hotels, gastropubs and cafés with trained staff and a real coffee offer, this machine rewards a properly matched grinder and a treated water supply. Backflush the groups daily, wipe and purge the steam wands after every jug, and arrange scheduled servicing to keep performance where it should be. We are happy to advise on grinder pairing and water filtration for your particular site and water hardness.
