Compact and automatic bean-to-cup espresso machine with built-in milk frother.
Eversys
The first Eversys was created in Switzerland in 2009 by by Jean-Paul In-Albon and Robert Bircher. At the time, the typical automatic espresso machine was built for function, not for product quality. The Vision of Eversys is to bridge the gap between traditional Italian coffee equipment and intelligent electronic super-automatic coffee machines, without any compromise to in-cup quality. In short, the goal of Eversys is to transfer barista skills directly into a machine.
The Cameo c'2m
The Cameo c'2m is a more compact model than the e'4m - both narrower and shorter by about 5 inches. Despite the small frame, the Came c'2m produces 2 espresso/cappuccinos at the same time. Both tea and continuous steam can be produced concurrently, and it is equipped with a built-in automatic milk heating/frothing module.
The office coffee machine can run two different types of milk from a separately purchased milk fridge that can be located in the cabinetry under the machine or next to the machine on the counter. Because there is only one central dispenser on this machine, we recommend that dairy-free milks are not intermixed with their dairy-based cousins. This causes unimaginable family drama and the yearly reunions are incredibly awkward to say the least.
While the machine can come with a steam wand, we always remove it, since it's not necessary to the milk function and can become a liability for individuals who are not trained on proper milk frothing and sanitation techniques.
The Cameo c'2m has two hoppers (a fancy word for “container”) that hold 2.65 lbs of whole beans each.
The Nuts and Bolts
Here's what you really need to know about this incredible machine:
- Quality: the Eversys machines make the best quality drinks of all the machines we offer. We've had Italian executives even remark that its espresso is "quite good" :). Italy is the birthplace of espresso, ergo, ipso facto, an Italian executive endorsement is the chef’s kiss of approval.
- Volume: this machine is best for offices ranging from 200 to 400 people. For larger offices, we recommend the e'4m. But, if you have an office of say, 100 people, this is an opportunity to get VERY caffeinated.
- Maintenance: if the grounds container is installed in the cabinetry under the machine, then the only maintenance schedules are daily and weekly. If the grounds container in the machine is used, the in-machine container will need to be dumped once every 30 espressos, and it will count and prompt the user when that time comes.
And that’s about it! Below are some specs, so you really know EVERYTHING about the c’2m.
