La Spaziale S5 vs. S5 Takeaway: Which Machine Will Master Your Service?
For any UK café, coffee bar, or hospitality venue, the La Spaziale S5 series represents a benchmark in professional espresso excellence. Once you’ve settled on the power and reliability of the standard S5, the next critical choice is deciding between the Standard S5 EK and the S5 EK Takeaway (T.A.).
The key difference? Cup clearance.
In a market increasingly dominated by high-street coffee-to-go, selecting the right height for your machine is crucial to ensuring a smooth, fast, and profitable service. This guide helps you determine if the taller Takeaway version is a necessity or an unnecessary expense for your operation.
The Height of Convenience: Key Differences
While both models share the same width and boiler capacity (assuming you are comparing the 2-group models), the single, transformative difference lies in the height of the group heads, which dictates how quickly and easily you can serve your drinks.
| S5 EK (Standard 2 Group) | S5 EK Takeaway (T.A. 2 Group) | The Real-World Impact | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group Head Clearance | Standard height (approx. 10 cm) | Raised/Tall height (approx. 16 cm) | Takeaway accommodates 12oz/16oz cups directly under the spout. |
| Machine Height (H) | ~ 520 mm (20.5 in) | ~ 600 mm (23.6 in) | Takeaway model is ~ 80 mm taller. |
| Drip Tray | Standard fixed tray | Includes Removable Grid | The grid allows for both small espresso cups and large takeaway cups. |
| Weight | ~ 65 kg (143 lbs) | ~ 70 kg (154 lbs) | Minimal difference. |
The S5 EK Standard: The Dine-In Specialist
The standard-height S5 is the traditional choice for businesses that primarily serve espresso and dine-in milk drinks in ceramic cups. The lower group head is ideal for direct espresso extraction, reducing splash and maintaining the delicate crema of your shot.
-
Your Choice If: Your venue is a high-end restaurant, a boutique hotel, or a classic Italian café where the majority of your sales are consumed on-site using standard crockery. You value the perfect visual presentation of an espresso shot.
The S5 EK Takeaway: The Coffee-to-Go Master
The Takeaway version addresses the modern British consumer’s demand for high-volume coffee on the move. By raising the group heads, it provides a crucial 16 cm clearance, enough to fit tall latte glasses and, more importantly, common 12oz and 16oz takeaway cups directly under the spout.
The inclusion of a removable supporting grid is a clever solution. Baristas can easily place a large cup directly on the lower drip tray or use the raised grid for standard espresso cups, offering seamless versatility during a busy service.
-
Your Choice If: Your business relies heavily on takeaway sales (e.g., a station kiosk, a bustling city centre location, or a drive-thru). You need maximum speed and efficiency when dealing with tall paper cups.
Shared Core Professional Technology
Both the S5 EK and S5 EK Takeaway share the identical, high-performance La Spaziale platform, guaranteeing professional consistency:
-
Patented Heat Exchange System: Group heads are heated by steam circulation, ensuring an incredibly stable brewing temperature (±1 °C) for perfect shot extraction.
-
Fully Automatic Dosing (EK): Both feature Electronic dosing with five programmable buttons per group, delivering accurate and consistent volumetric shots.
-
Barista-Ready Features:
-
Large 10-Litre Boiler: Ensures powerful steam and fast hot water recovery during peak demand.
-
Dual Steam Wands: Two powerful, lever-operated wands for immediate, full-power steaming.
-
Monitoring Tools: Clear LED display for temperature and a double pressure gauge (boiler and pump).
