Then came the Sanremo YOU – and it exceeded our expectations.
Whether you google "buy Sanremo YOU", "Sanremo YOU review", "best portafilter machine for home barista" or "Sanremo YOU vs Linea Mini" – here you will learn why the Sanremo YOU is in a class of its own.
Design meets function: Sanremo YOU is a real statement
At first glance, the Sanremo YOU espresso machine impresses with its modern, industrial look. Compact, high-quality workmanship, with stainless steel and optional wood accents – it not only looks good but also feels that way.
But the true heart of this machine lies inside – and here it becomes clear why the Sanremo YOU is not just another portafilter machine.
Dual boiler & PID control: Maximum control
The Sanremo YOU features a dual boiler system that allows precise control of brewing and steam temperature. Thanks to the PID technology, both temperatures can be set independently – perfect for consistent quality in espresso and milk foam.
Pressure profiling: Espresso at the highest level
The absolute highlight: real-time pressure profiling. With the built-in paddle, you can manually control the brewing pressure – or save your favorite profiles. This allows each shot to be individually adjusted – from light roasted third-wave coffees to classic dark espresso roasts.
✔️ 8 storable profiles
✔️ Full control over flow, pressure, and time
✔️ Perfect for experimental home baristas and professionals
Pre-infusion & flow control: For perfect extraction
The Sanremo YOU offers a manually controllable pre-infusion that evenly saturates the coffee grounds before full pressure is applied. Combined with the flow control, this results in a forgiving yet extremely precise
