Conti Monaco

Overview

The Conti Monaco is a two-group commercial espresso machine from the French manufacturer known for combining Italian espresso tradition with French engineering precision. The Monaco features independent brew boilers per group with PID temperature control, ensuring each group can run at different temperatures for diverse coffee menu requirements. The 8-liter steam boiler provides abundant steam capacity for busy service periods. Pressure profiling capability on each group allows baristas to implement creative extraction techniques — from long pre-infusion ramps to declining pressure profiles. The saturated group heads maintain exceptional thermal stability during heavy use. Conti's proprietary flow metering system provides real-time shot data including flow rate, brew pressure, and extraction time on the integrated per-group display. The Monaco's construction features heavy-gauge stainless steel panels with powder-coat color options. Designed and assembled in Monte Carlo, the Monaco targets specialty coffee shops seeking an alternative to Italian-dominated commercial equipment with a distinctly French approach to espresso machine engineering.

The Conti Monaco comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction, pressure profiling for advanced shot manipulation. It features a dual boiler boiler system made of copper with a 500 ml capacity. The rotary pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $8,999, the Conti Monaco is designed for passionate enthusiasts and semi-commercial users who accept nothing but the best. As a semi-automatic machine, it gives you control over the brewing process while handling pressure and temperature automatically.

In terms of build quality, the Conti Monaco is a substantial machine, weighing in at 55.0 kg, manufactured in France, drawing 4200W of power. With dimensions of 500 x 580 x 520 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. This machine requires direct plumbing, which provides unlimited water supply but needs professional installation.
