Espresso machines

Slayer

Slayer Espresso is built near Seattle, Washington, where each machine is hand-assembled to order. The brand is best known for its patented needle-valve technology, which lets baristas manually control brew flow for a slow, programmable pre-brew and precise flavor profiling. Its machines pair independent per-group brew and steam tanks with PID temperature control for shot-to-shot consistency.
