2nd Gen Pre-Infusion System: Improved saturation for even, better extraction.

Dual PID Intelligent Temperature Control

With independent PID control for espresso extraction, steam, and milk frothing, Athena Core delivers precision accuracy within one degree Celsius. This level of thermal control ensures stable brewing conditions and consistent results across different beverage styles.

Hybrid Boiler System for Balanced Performance

The combination of a 550ml stainless steel brew boiler and high-power instant steam heating offers both extraction stability and rapid steam generation. This hybrid design provides professional-level performance without increasing machine complexity.

Adjustable Extraction Pressure with Manual Override

Athena Core allows preset extraction pressure with the ability to manually adjust during brewing. This feature supports advanced experimentation, enabling users to explore pressure profiling techniques and unlock nuanced flavour characteristics from specialty beans.

Intelligent Milk Frothing with Temperature Control

Preset milk frothing temperatures ranging from 40°C to 90°C allow hands-free operation and consistent microfoam quality. This ensures perfectly textured milk for cappuccinos and lattes, reducing guesswork while maintaining professional-level results
