CREM EX3 2 Group Display Espresso Machine 11.5 Litres - Black/White Takeaway

Precision Brewing with the PID Display

The CREM EX3 2 Group Display Espresso Machine delivers professional-grade performance with PID temperature control and a digital display for precise shot timing and thermal monitoring. Its 11.5-litre boiler maintains consistent steam pressure during peak service, making it ideal for busy specialty coffee operations demanding exceptional extraction quality.

Optimised for the Takeaway Environment

Engineered specifically for the fast-paced "to-go" market, the Takeaway (High Group) configuration of the EX3 provides the essential clearance required for modern service. With an increased height between the group heads and the drip tray, baristas can brew directly into large 12oz or 16oz takeaway cups, significantly improving workflow efficiency and reducing the need for secondary shot pots. This ergonomic advantage, paired with the machine’s customisable aesthetics and smart design, ensures it fits seamlessly into any high-street cafe or bustling transport hub.

CREM EX3: Control vs. Display – Which Is the Right Brew for You?

Choosing a new espresso machine for your café or premium home setup can be tricky, especially with similar models like the CREM EX3 range. Today we compare the CREM EX3 2 Group Control and CREM EX3 2 Group Display. Both share CREM’s sleek, modular design, but there are key differences that could influence your choice.

So, let's brew up a comparison and see which one deserves pride of place on your counter!

The Guts and Glory: What They Share

First off, it's worth noting what these two beauties have in common. Both the Control and the Display models benefit from CREM's robust engineering. We're talking:

• Excellent Hydraulics: Both machines boast reliable internal systems, ensuring consistent water delivery and pressure for those perfect extractions.

• Modular Design: This is a real boon. Parts are designed to be easily accessible and interchangeable, making maintenance and customisation a doddle.

• Volumetric Dosing: Both allow your baristas to program exact water volumes for single and double shots, promoting consistency across the board.

• Auto-Cleaning Cycles: A nice touch that helps keep the group heads spick and span with minimal fuss.

So, if you're after a solid, dependable machine built to last, either of these will serve you well. But now, for the nitty-gritty...

The Nitty-Gritty: Where They Differ

This is where your choice will likely be made. The main distinctions come down to how the machine manages temperature and the level of feedback and control it offers the barista.

Temperature Control: Traditional vs Digital Precision

• CREM EX3 2 Group Control: uses a traditional pressure switch to regulate boiler temperature. This proven system is robust and reliable, making it well suited to busy cafés where durability and straightforward operation are the priority. Minor temperature variation can occur, but performance remains consistent for high-volume takeaway service.
• CREM EX3 2 Group Display: features PID digital temperature control, allowing baristas to set and maintain precise boiler temperatures via the display. This delivers greater thermal stability and more consistent espresso extraction, particularly when working with different roast profiles or aiming for repeatable shot quality.

The Barista's View: Interface and Feedback

• CREM EX3 Control (Keep it Simple): The Control model is more minimalist. You'll find a straightforward 5-button keypad for programming your volumetric shots and an analogue pressure gauge to keep an eye on the boiler. Baristas will need to rely on external timers (or their internal clock!) for shot duration and their experience for visual cues.

• CREM EX3 Display (Information at Your Fingertips): This is where the "Display" truly shines. It boasts a sleek digital screen, often integrated cleanly into the group head or central panel. This screen provides a wealth of information:

  • Digital Shot Counters: Each group head will display the precise extraction time as the shot pours – invaluable for consistency and recipe development.

  • Digital Boiler Temperature: No more guessing or relying on an analogue gauge; you see the exact temperature.

  • Service & Maintenance Alerts: It can provide helpful reminders for filter changes or display error codes, simplifying troubleshooting.

  • Advanced Menu Settings: Access features like Eco Mode to save energy during quieter periods and program Auto On/Off times, so the machine is ready when you open and powers down when you close.
