Wega IO 1GR

Overview

The Wega IO is a single-group commercial machine that brings the capabilities of Wega's full commercial lineup into a format suitable for low-volume cafes, specialty bars, and dedicated prosumer setups. Wega, part of the same Ryoma Group as Astoria, has been manufacturing in Italy since 1985 and produces machines known for reliability and value. The IO features independent brew and steam boilers with PID control on both. Pressure profiling through an electronic pump controller enables baristas to create and save custom extraction curves. The machine includes a 7-inch touchscreen for recipe management and shot data display. Plumb-in with optional reservoir use provides installation flexibility. The 58mm group head accepts standard commercial baskets. LED accent lighting and a modern design language distinguish the IO from traditional commercial machine aesthetics. Wega's manufacturing scale through the Ryoma Group provides competitive pricing for a machine with specifications matching boutique brands at lower prices.

The Wega IO 1GR 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 350 ml capacity. The rotary pump delivers 9.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $4,500, the Wega IO 1GR 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 Wega IO 1GR is a substantial machine, weighing in at 32.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 2200W of power. With dimensions of 380 x 530 x 450 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. It offers both reservoir and direct plumbing options for maximum flexibility.
