Overview
The Faema President is a robust, traditional commercial espresso machine built for high-volume environments where simplicity and reliability matter more than cutting-edge technology. The massive 10-liter copper boiler provides virtually unlimited steam capacity, and the E61 group heads deliver consistent extraction through their proven thermosiphon circulation. The President serves as Faema's entry-level commercial offering, popular in trattorias, bakeries, and cafés across Italy and the Mediterranean where equipment is expected to operate reliably for decades with minimal electronics that could fail. Available in 2-group and 3-group configurations, the President represents the traditional Italian approach to commercial espresso engineering.
The Faema President comes equipped with pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a heat exchanger boiler system made of copper with a 10000 ml capacity. The rotary pump delivers 9.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.
Priced at $7,000, the Faema President 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 Faema President is a substantial machine, weighing in at 70.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 4500W of power. With dimensions of 860 x 550 x 445 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.
