Marco SP9 - Single Serve Precision Brewer With Under Counter Unit

Filter brewers are the next big thing in coffee but too often cafe's say it’s just too time-consuming to manage the process. 

Along comes the Marco Sp9 to alleviate that problem completely.

“We are seeing a trend towards filter brewing in the speciality coffee shops, but every cafe could benefit from the great margins in the filter without the normal labour costs to produce it.  The SP9 is the benchmark of automatic brewing technology and is essentially an automated Chemex or V60 pour over on steroids. 

When you break down the process of brewing a Pour Over. You have to bring the water to the boil, measure out your required coffee, rinse the coffee granules with hot water in the filter cone, leave it to bloom, time it, add more water, and stand over the device as you monitor the brew time. For those who love this method and have time to do it, great. But for those who want to achieve the same taste profile in a fraction of the time, the Sp9 is the ideal alternative.

Marco is the top tier of hot water dispensing equipment, and its new Sp9 model is the coolest brewing unit in its range,” Brett says.

The Sp9 is an under-counter unit, with a 394-millimetre-deep, 155-millimetre-wide, and 585-millimetre-high boiler positioned in the cupboard under a benchtop. All that’s needed to power the device is 15 amps and a water supply.

Marco specialises in water temperature stability and has adopted its expertise into this brewing device. The Sp9 uses an under counter recirculating boiler system, where the water circulates from the boiler to the Sp9 and returns back into the boiler to keep the temperature completely stable.

“The reason the device is called Sp9 is that nine pulses of hot water occur over any given brew time. If you heat 100 millilitres of water in one minute, the device will still pulsate nine times to ensure an even distribution of heated water.

The water temperature and brewing time are programmable with just two adjustable dials (brew time and brew volume) to suit every user’s specifications.

Users can program the machine to the standard brewing rule of 60 grams of coffee to a litre of water. Or, for customers wanting a single cup, it’s easy enough to halve your ratios to 30 grams of coffee to half a litre of water, or even further to 15 grams of coffee to 250 millimetres for a Kalitta brew.

You don’t have to be a brewing champion to operate this machine, just capable of following a brew recipe. This device can replace rock star baristas and put impressive technology in the spotlight.”

The Sp9 is minimalistic and perfect for venues with limited bench space. The single head unit is just 193 millimetres deep, 132 millimetres wide, and sits 420 millimetres high on top of a bench top. Its height can be adjusted to suit most manual brewing devices.

Baristas now have the ability to press a button, walk away and serve other customers, and return to the Sp9 a couple of minutes later with a freshly brewed filter coffee ready to deliver in-store and via a takeaway cup.

"Manual pouring absorbs five minutes of your time. This is just a 30-second commitment.”

The SP9 also comes with two heads that run off the one boiler for an extra $1050
