CREM EX2 2 Group vs. 2 Group Control: Which Is Right for Your Café?
If you are scouting for a new commercial espresso machine, you’ve likely run into the CREM EX2. It is the "Goldilocks" of the coffee world—balancing the rugged, "bulletproof" heritage of Expobar with the sleek, functional aesthetics of the modern EX line.
But as you browse suppliers, you might see two different listings: the CREM EX2 2 Group and the CREM EX2 2 Group Control.
Is there a genuine difference? Does "Control" mean more features, or are you just paying for a fancy label? Let’s break down the facts so you can make the right investment for your business.
The Short Answer: It’s All About the Buttons
In the CREM catalogue, the term "Control" refers specifically to Volumetric Dosing.
-
The CREM EX2 2 Group Control: This is the industry standard in the UK. It features a 5-button keypad above each group head. You can programme these buttons to dispense the exact volume of water needed for a single or double shot. Once the volume is reached, the machine stops automatically.
-
The CREM EX2 2 Group (Standard): While rare in the market, a "standard" version (sometimes called a "Pulser") uses a simple start/stop switch. The barista must manually stop the shot.
Why the "Control" Model is a Good Choice
If you are serving 200–250 cups per day, the "Control" features aren't just luxuries—they are essential for protecting your margins.
1. "Set and Forget" Workflow
With volumetric control, a barista can start a shot and immediately begin steaming milk or taking payment. The machine handles the precision, preventing "over-shot" waste and ensuring every flat white tastes exactly the same, regardless of who is behind the bar.
2. The Expobar Heritage
Both versions house the renowned Expobar hydraulic system. This means that even though the exterior looks like a high-end modern machine, the "guts" are easy to service and spare parts are readily available across the UK. You get contemporary engineering without the nightmare of expensive, proprietary repairs.
3. Barista Ergonomics
The EX2 Control is designed for speed. With half-turn rotary steam knobs, baristas can reach full pressure instantly without straining their wrists. Combined with integrated Barista Lights and a generous working surface, it is built to survive the morning rush.
