Slayer Single Group

Overview

The Slayer Single Group is a residential version of the celebrated Slayer commercial espresso machine, handcrafted in Seattle and renowned for its needle valve-based pre-brew and flow control system that changed how the specialty coffee world thinks about espresso extraction. Unlike conventional pre-infusion that merely soaks the puck at a set low pressure, Slayer needle valve technology allows the barista to precisely regulate the flow rate of water through the coffee at any point during extraction, unlocking flavor possibilities that fixed-pressure machines simply cannot achieve. This flow control capability enables extended pre-brew phases at very low flow rates, enhancing sweetness and reducing bitterness, and the ability to taper flow toward the end of a shot for a clean, structured finish. The dual boiler system features independent PID temperature control, and the commercial rotary pump provides smooth, quiet operation. The Slayer Single Group is built to the same exacting standards as the commercial models, with hand-assembled construction using premium materials and meticulous attention to detail. The machine requires plumbed water installation, reflecting its professional-grade design. Available in custom colors and wood accents, each Slayer is a bespoke piece. For those who view espresso as an art form, the Slayer Single Group is the ultimate canvas.

The Slayer Single Group comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction, pressure profiling for advanced shot manipulation, flow control for barista-level precision. It features a dual boiler boiler system made of stainless steel with a 500 ml capacity. The rotary pump delivers 9.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $7,500, the Slayer Single Group is designed for passionate enthusiasts and semi-commercial users who accept nothing but the best. The dual boiler design allows simultaneous brewing and steaming, making it ideal for milk-based drinks without any wait time.

In terms of build quality, the Slayer Single Group is a substantial machine, weighing in at 36.0 kg, manufactured in United States, drawing 2200W of power. With dimensions of 460 x 560 x 410 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.
