KY-168 Commercial Espresso Machine
T3 Triple Boiler Espresso Machine Designed for Continuous Commercial Coffee Production
Designed for Cafés That Cannot Stop During Peak Hours
In a busy café, the biggest challenge is not making one perfect espresso — it is maintaining the same quality when hundreds of orders come continuously.
The KY-168 commercial espresso machine is engineered for continuous commercial espresso production.
Through our real extreme continuous-flow test:
2500ML Continuous Water Output
✅ Brewing temperature remained stable at 92°C
✅ No temperature drop within the first 2500ML output
✅ Only after exceeding 2500ML did temperature gradually decrease
✅ Recovery back to working temperature within 8–13 seconds
This proves KY-168 has strong thermal capacity for continuous espresso production without a predefined cup limit.
In real café workflows, where every espresso includes grinding, dosing, tamping, extraction, and serving intervals, KY-168 can continuously support high-volume coffee service throughout the business day.
Real Café Performance: Designed for Continuous Daily Operation
Laboratory specifications are important, but real café operation is the true test.
In our partner café chains, KY-168 has demonstrated excellent performance during daily high-volume service. The machine continues working smoothly through busy periods, maintaining stable extraction quality from the first espresso to the last order of the day.
During continuous peak-hour operation, KY-168 helps baristas:
- Keep producing espresso without waiting for temperature recovery
- Maintain consistent extraction quality across high order volumes
- Handle long working hours with stable performance
- Focus on serving customers instead of managing machine limitations
For commercial coffee businesses, KY-168 is built to keep working when demand is highest.
T3 Heating System: Built for Continuous Commercial Operation
KY-168 adopts a professional T3 PID temperature control system with pre-heating pipe & 3 independent boilers:
- 10L steam boiler
- 2 × 0.8L brew boilers
The independent boiler structure allows:
- Continuous steam supply
- Stable extraction temperature
- Reduced temperature interference
- Reliable peak-hour performance
Unlike traditional espresso machines that struggle during continuous demand, KY-168 separates brewing and steaming tasks to maintain consistent beverage quality.
Fast Heat-Up for Efficient Café Operation
KY-168 reduces waiting time before service:
Brew Boiler Heating
28°C → 92°C
- Approx. 3.5 minutes
Steam Boiler Heating
- Heating to 122°C
- Approx. 7.5 minutes
Fast preparation helps coffee businesses improve daily operating efficiency.
Professional Espresso Control
KY-168 allows baristas to adjust:
- Brew head temperature: 88–95°C
- Steam temperature
- Extraction temperature
- Pre-infusion time: 1–9 seconds
- Water flow
- Coffee volume
Helping professional coffee businesses maintain recipe consistency.
Commercial-Grade Components
KY-168 is equipped with:
- Italian GICAR flowmeter
- Italian ODE solenoid valves
- FOT rotary pump PA204
- Electronic pressure sensor
- Real-time extraction pressure display
- Steam pressure gauge
The extraction pressure display shows actual brewing pressure, helping baristas achieve accurate extraction control.
Copper Heat Transfer Design
For better thermal performance and durability:
- 100% pure copper brew head
- Full copper piping design
The copper structure improves heat transfer efficiency and supports stable commercial operation.
