Three positions: Pre-Brew, Full Brew, Stop. You start left – the patented Needle Valve restricts the water flow to a fraction, the puck slowly saturates, you hear no hiss, only a quiet trickle. Eight, nine, ten seconds. Then you flip the paddle to full load. Full 9 bar, the shot begins to flow – dark, viscous, with a dense crema, as only occurs when the pre-infusion has been long enough. This is Slayer: Flow profiling as a central idea, not an add-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSlayer Espresso was founded in \u003cstrong\u003eSeattle, Washington in 2007\u003c\/strong\u003e by a team including Eric Perkunder, Dan Urwiler, Devin Walker (Engineering), and Jason Prefontaine (Investor and current CEO). The mission: not to copy the next Italian coffee machine, but to rethink espresso. The answer: a patented Needle Valve at the grouphead that controls the water flow throughout the extraction (instead of just modulating pressure). In 2009, Slayer was first presented to a wider professional audience at the SCA conference in Atlanta – simultaneously with the World Barista Championship. With its Needle-Valve system, Slayer popularized the concept of manual pressure and flow profiling in the professional segment. \u003cstrong\u003eSince December 2017, Slayer has been majority-owned by the La Cimbali Group (Italy) – the machines are still handcrafted in Seattle\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the option of complete customization in wood, color, and metal accents. Coffee Coaching Club offers the Slayer Single-Group program in Switzerland, with showrooms in Bern and Zurich for personal consultation and demo by appointment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes Slayer special\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree things. First: Flow profiling as a core idea. The patented Needle Valve sits directly at the grouphead and reduces the flow to a fraction, while the pump continues to operate at 9 bar. This architecture has made Slayer the reference for manual flow profiling in the professional segment. Second: Craftsmanship in Seattle. Every Slayer is built in its own factory in Seattle – even after the majority takeover by La Cimbali in 2017. Third: Customization. Wood type (Walnut, Ash, others), powder coating colors for side panels, metal finishes – every Slayer is configured for its owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll Slayer machines use 58 mm portafilters in industrial standard – compatible with all common precision baskets and tampers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Slayer Portfolio at Coffee Coaching Club\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSlayer Espresso Single Group V4\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe current flagship in the single-group class. For ambitious home baristas, small specialty cafes, QC labs in roasteries, or boutique setups where a single grouphead is sufficient. Architecture: \u003cstrong\u003e3-Stage Paddle\u003c\/strong\u003e (Pre-Brew restricted flow \/ Full brew at 9 bar \/ Stop), patented Needle Valve directly at the grouphead, saturated brew group, 58 mm bottomless portafilter with shot mirror, Teflon-coated dispersion screen for even distribution. Independent Brew Tank (PID-controlled) and Steam Tank for independent temperature stability. Commercial-quality Rotary Vane Pump. Glass touchscreen interface for brew temperature, steam pressure, pre-brew timer, auto on\/off, and PID parameters. Power-saving weekly schedule for eco mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStandard configuration: Silver powder-coated X-accents, black side and rear panels, actuators in European Ash. Other wood types (Walnut, etc.), colored powder coating, and metal finishes available upon request at an additional cost. Slayer Single Group is delivered in 208–240 V with an L6-30 plug; adaptation to Swiss power supply is discussed individually before ordering. Lifetime shot counter, group rated for 1 million cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSlayer Espresso Steam Single – made on order\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe more compact sister of the Single Group V4 for home and light commercial setups. \u003cstrong\u003eManual 3-position actuator\u003c\/strong\u003e for up to 10 seconds of pre-infusion – you pull the shot, the Heads-Up Barista Dashboard records pressure and time, you can save and recall profiles (\"record and playback\"). Dual Boiler: 0.8 L brew tank PID-controlled, 2.4 L steam tank – independently stabilized. Internal Reservoir 2.5 L with optional plumbing kit for fixed water connection. Matte black powder coating, anodized aluminum panels, soft-touch portafilter, and Onyx Duratex actuators – the most visually minimalist Slayer model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade on order: Each Steam Single is built in Seattle after ordering. Delivery time is discussed individually before ordering. For anyone who wants the Slayer experience in a single-group format with a more compact footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Flow Profiling Actually Means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn classic 9-bar espresso machines, the pump runs at full pressure from the start. With Slayer, water is throttled via the Needle Valve in the pre-brew phase: the pump runs at 9 bar, but the valve only lets a fraction through – the coffee puck saturates gently, reducing channeling and bitter notes. When you flip the paddle to full load, the valve opens, and the shot finishes with classic extraction. This is pure flow profiling: you control the flow, not the pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePressure Profiling (like with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/la-marzocco\"\u003eLa Marzocco GS3 MP\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/rocket-espresso\"\u003eRocket R Nine One\u003c\/a\u003e) follows a programmed or manually controlled pressure curve. Slayer flow profiling, on the other hand, regulates the water quantity per unit of time – at constant pump pressure. Both approaches influence the flavor profile, but in different ways. Slayer brings this concept to a machine that is dedicated to it down to the smallest detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is Slayer for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSlayer is a conscious decision, not a necessity. A Slayer Single Group or Steam Single suits home baristas who have been working with espresso for years, who already know or want to learn the flavor concept of flow profiling as a central tool, and who are willing to buy a machine as a tool for decades. Slayer is also suitable for specialty cafes with moderate volume, roastery QC labs, boutique hotels, and anyone who wants a machine on their counter that stands out visually and functionally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who want a saturated brew group without the complexity of flow profiling: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/la-marzocco\"\u003eLa Marzocco\u003c\/a\u003e.

The Steam Single brings manual 3-position control with \"record and playback\" via the Heads-Up Barista Dashboard, dual boiler (0.8 L brew \/ 2.4 L steam), reduced matte black powder-coated housing – made on order in Seattle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is Slayer Flow Profiling and how does it differ from Pressure Profiling?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlow Profiling (Slayer) controls the water flow through the puck via a patented Needle Valve at the grouphead. The pump runs at 9 bar, and the valve throttles the flow. In the pre-brew phase, the puck is saturated with reduced flow, then the paddle releases the full flow. Pressure Profiling (La Marzocco GS3 MP, Rocket R Nine One) follows a pressure curve by variably controlling the pump itself or regulating a bleed valve. Both concepts influence the taste, but in different ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs Slayer a home or a commercial machine?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth. The Single Group V4 and the Steam Single are technically light commercial machines with commercial components (Rotary Vane Pump, group rated for 1 million cycles) that are also suitable for ambitious home kitchens in terms of footprint and power setup. They are just as usable for classic 1-group cafes or specialty bars with moderate volume as they are for home baristas who want the maximum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat power supply does a Slayer need in Switzerland?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Slayer Single Group V4 is delivered from the factory with 208–240 V and an L6-30 plug. The specific adaptation to the Swiss power supply – whether 230 V household current (T15\/CEE 16A) or fixed installation – will be discussed individually before ordering, so you can prepare the appropriate connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow is a Slayer configured and customized?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWood types for the actuators (standard: European Ash, optional Walnut and others), powder coating color for side and rear panels, metal finishes for the X-accents – each Slayer is configured after ordering. RAL color charts for custom powder coating are available. Delivery times vary depending on the configuration. We will personally assist you with the configuration; you make the decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes Slayer still belong to the Slayer family from Seattle?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlayer was acquired by the Italian La Cimbali Group in December 2017. The operational manufacturing remains in Seattle, the engineering team in Seattle, and the machines continue to be handcrafted there. La Cimbali brings international distribution structures and backing in the specialty segment. For the product itself, nothing has changed in its DNA – patented Needle Valve, customization, Seattle manufacturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I see a Slayer before buying?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlayer machines are not permanently set up in both showrooms – the volume makes that impractical.

Delivery time typically several weeks depending on the configuration. We coordinate transport, customs clearance, and delivery to your address or Click and Collect at the showroom. On-site setup with assembly, installation, and introduction on site can be booked at an additional cost upon request – a quick inquiry is sufficient. Financing via Heylight is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere is Slayer built?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlayer Espresso was founded in Seattle, Washington in 2007.
