With innovation, a driving force behind this Seattle-based newcomer, Slayer machines are loaded with advantages — and we’re stoked to pass these advantages on to you.
Founded in 2007, Slayer brings design to the forefront while keeping functionality in every detail. The result has been award-winning machines recognized as Best New Product by the Specialty Coffee Association of America and World of Coffee. After all, the Slayer vision was informed by second-generation coffee professional, Slayer founder Jason Prefontaine’s multi-faceted industry experience. Machines designed by coffee professionals for coffee professionals, with a mission to “Make Coffee Better”. So, whether you are looking for a firebrand of power for your business or a prized jewel in your home coffee bar, Slayer may be the answer.
Handcrafted in Seattle, Slayer machines come in two distinct series — the flagship Espresso Line with its steampunk vibe and the ultra-sleek follow-up Steam Line. Each series provides a starting point; these chameleon-like machines adapt to any aesthetic with standard body panel options that play on fresh colors and finishes. Add that to wood options and matte or chrome accent features that are finishing touched to tailor a machine to your environment.
The Slayer Espresso Line, dubbed the “gateway to flavor profiling,” is marked by its generous steam capacity, temperature stability, and control of extraction. The Espresso is built in three-group, two-group and single-group versions. The Espresso Single Group offers a smaller footprint, ideal for kitchens and other tight spaces.
The streamlined Slayer Steam was developed to take espresso drinks to the next level with a focus on milk drinks. Its electronic solenoid steam wands are built for responsiveness, durability and efficiency. Pair that with the low-profile design of the Steam Line for a barista/guest experience that removes barriers between and enhances interactions.
The Steam is available with two or three-group versions and offered in the EP, LP, and LPx models, each with slight technical variations and aesthetic design options, including the head-turning mirror polished stainless steel body.
