How does pressure control work on the Slayer Steam LP 2 Group?
The Steam LP lets you switch between regulated low pressure and traditional pump pressure using the manual brew actuator. You can set pre-infusion from 1 to 10 seconds at 1–3 bar, giving you room to experiment with the opening stage of the shot. It’s hands-on pressure control, not a claim that you can program any pressure curve you like.
Can I pull shots manually and save settings for busy service?
Yes. You can brew manually when you want hands-on control, or use the two programmable volumetric settings per group to repeat your chosen shot volumes. The quick calibration function helps you fine-tune the flowmeter when adjusting recipes. You still prepare the coffee yourself; the volumetric mode handles the programmed shot volume.
Does each group have its own boiler, and can I steam while brewing?
Yes. Each saturated group has its own 1.7 L stainless steel brew boiler, 600 W heater and individual PID temperature control. A separate 7.4 L steam boiler with a 3,500 W heater lets you texture milk while pulling shots, so brewing and steam production have their own dedicated boilers.
What can baristas see and adjust on the dashboards?
Each group has its own dashboard with brewing settings, shot timing, brew temperature, shot counters and cleaning functions. The description also lists a volume readout in grams. Because this is a volumetric machine with flowmeter calibration, don’t assume that readout means it has a built-in scale weighing the espresso in your cup.
What does the Steam LP offer for milk drinks and daily cleaning?
It has easy-touch steam wands with electronic valves, two preset hot water doses and an adjustable-height drip tray. Integrated shot lights help you see your work, while quick-clean and full-clean functions support your daily cleaning routine. The electronic steam valves are designed to reduce routine maintenance compared with traditional mechanical valves.
What space, water connection and electrical supply does this version need?
The machine measures 890 mm wide, 710 mm deep and 425 mm high, and weighs 100 kg. It requires hard plumbing and a 220–240 V, single-phase, 50/60 Hz supply, with listed ratings of 21–23 A and 4.7–5.6 kW. Have your installer confirm the water, drainage, electrical supply and counter support, leaving room for the external pump and servicing.
What comes with the Slayer Steam LP 2 Group?
You get the machine, two bottomless portafilters, two double coffee baskets, a blind cleaning insert, the external rotary pump and four rubber feet. The package also lists two attached power cords, two attached plumbing lines, two attached drain hoses, braided water hoses, a Quick Start Guide and the user manual. The braided-hose entries overlap, so confirm the exact quantity with us if your installation depends on it. The listed finish is mirror-polished steel with glossy ink-black wings, Onyx Duratex actuators and Soft Touch portafilters.
