UNIC Aura Espresso Machine - Dosamat, Steamair + 250-600 Cups per Day

The UNIC Aura Commercial Espresso Machine is a French-engineered, high-performance traditional espresso platform designed specifically for high-demand hospitality environments. Constructed with a durable full stainless-steel chassis accented by polished chrome and LED lighting, the range combines sleek modern aesthetics with robust daily service reliability. At its core, the machine utilizes UNIC's proprietary boiler-mounted Maestro brew groups and PID temperature control to deliver exceptional thermal stability across heavy peak-hour shifts. Workflow efficiency is maximized through independent LED touch control boxes with four programmable volumetric doses per group, timed pre-infusion, and the patented Easylock system, which uses hydraulic assistance to reduce barista wrist strain and extend group gasket longevity.

Available in 2-group (Aura 2) and 3-group (Aura 3) configurations, the series scales effortlessly to accommodate varying venue outputs. The Aura 2 features a 10.1 L boiler powered by a 4300 W heating element on a 794 mm wide chassis (73 kg), while the larger Aura 3 houses a 15.6 L boiler across a 984 mm footprint (83 kg) to handle continuous multi-drink orders. Both models operate on 230V single-phase or 400V 3-phase electrical connections (4800 W total power draw) and can be configured with advanced options like the Dosamat automated portafilter recognition, SteamAir auto-foaming wands, and cool-touch SteamGlide levers for precise milk texturing.

Understanding UNIC’s Intelligent Technologies: Dosamat & SteamAir

For commercial coffee operators, distributors, and busy hospitality venues, UNIC incorporates proprietary automation systems designed to maintain beverage quality, eliminate user error, and accelerate service speed. Among these proprietary innovations, Dosamat and SteamAir stand out as two key features that streamline workflow for baristas of any skill level.

UNIC Dosamat Technology

Dosamat is UNIC’s patented automated portafilter recognition system. It eliminates the need for baristas to manually select single or double shot buttons on the touch interface during busy periods.

• Automatic Detection: Sensors inside the group head immediately read the size of the inserted portafilter basket (single or double shot).

• Instant Volumetric Trigger: The machine automatically triggers the corresponding pre-programmed water volume without requiring manual keypad input.

• Workflow Efficiency: Drastically reduces operational steps, eliminates wrong-dose button presses, and accelerates total ticket completion time.

UNIC SteamAir System

SteamAir is UNIC’s automated steam wand system designed for hands-free, high-precision milk texturing. It provides an alternative to manual steam levers, delivering consistent milk foam and exact temperatures every time.

• Auto-Foaming & Temperature Control: Air and steam are injected simultaneously into the pitcher while an integrated temperature sensor monitors the milk, automatically stopping extraction at the exact set temperature.

• Dual-Texture Modes: Allows staff to easily switch between hot milk (low aeration) and dense milk foam (high aeration) for lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites.

• Skill-Free Consistency: Enables non-barista staff to texture micro-foam milk to professional standards without manual pitcher tilting or wand position adjustments.

Operational Benefits for Business

• Consistent Product Quality: Ensures every coffee and milk beverage tastes identical, regardless of staff experience.

• Faster Peak Service: Allows baristas to step away to prep cups, take orders, or run transactions while Dosamat handles shot volume and SteamAir handles milk frothing.

• Reduced Training Time: Simplifies staff onboarding in hotels, restaurants, and high-turnover cafés, keeping labor costs manageable.
