Gemilai CRM3200B

Overview

The Gemilai CRM3200B upgrades the popular CRM3007 platform with PID temperature control and a pre-infusion system, addressing the two most significant shortcomings of its predecessor. The PID display shows real-time brew temperature, allowing users to adjust for different roast profiles. The 58mm commercial portafilter and powerful steam wand carry over from the CRM3007, maintaining the workhorse reliability that made Gemilai popular with small business owners. The larger 1.8-liter reservoir and more powerful 1500-watt heating element improve throughput for busier settings. The CRM3200B occupies an interesting market position as a commercial-grade capable machine at home-machine pricing.

The Gemilai CRM3200B comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a thermoblock boiler system made of stainless steel. The vibratory pump delivers 20.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $280, the Gemilai CRM3200B is designed for budget-conscious beginners and casual coffee drinkers. 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 Gemilai CRM3200B is a substantial machine, weighing in at 7.8 kg, manufactured in China, drawing 1500W of power. With dimensions of 300 x 310 x 355 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 1800 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
