ABOUT BARISSIMA
Where is Barissima made, and who sells it in Australia ?
Barissima is manufactured in Tyrol, Austria. Barissima Australia is the exclusive importer and distributor for Australia and New Zealand, providing sales, installation coordination and local support through its authorised service network.
PERFORMANCE & DRINK FLEXIBILITY
Can an automated milk system provide different temperatures for different drinks?
Automated milk systems vary in the level of temperature control they provide. Barissima allows different programmed drinks to use different milk temperatures, so a lower-temperature babycino can be followed immediately by a hotter latte or flat white. Its dual flash-heater system also provides exceptional temperature consistency during continuous service.
Can each drink have its own milk texture?
Yes. Barissima allows different texture and aeration settings to be programmed for different drinks, from lightly textured milk through to more aerated milk for drinks such as lattes.
Do automated milk systems need to stay hot all day?
No. Barissima uses two on-demand flash heaters that activate only when milk is being dispensed and remain cold during idle periods. This means the machine does not need to keep a large boiler or heating block hot throughout the day.
How many drinks can be programmed on Barissima?
Barissima supports up to 16 programmable product buttons, with up to 10 different temperature and texture settings available across the programmed drinks.
Does Barissima dispense directly into the milk jug?
Yes. Barissima dispenses the programmed quantity of milk directly into the jug, reducing manual portioning and milk steaming for the barista. For takeaway drinks, milk can also be dispensed directly into the cup
How consistent is Barissima’s milk temperature during busy service?
Barissima is designed to maintain highly consistent milk temperatures during continuous service. Its dual flash heaters heat milk on demand as it flows through the machine, maintaining the programmed temperature from drink to drink without waiting for a heating block to recover.
How fast can Barissima prepare milk during peak service?
Barissima can typically prepare the milk required for around three lattes per minute, depending on the programmed milk quantity. The temperature will never drop.
Is Barissima suitable for high-volume cafés?
Absolutely. Barissima is specifically engineered for commercial café settings and ongoing service. By automating milk preparation, it greatly minimizes the repetitive milk handling that baristas must manage during peak times. Many customers have opted to even operate 2 Barissimas to optimal workflow.
MILK OPTIONS
Can Barissima dispense two different milks?
Yes. Barissima can operate as either a Single Milk or Dual Milk system. Dual Milk connects to two separate refrigerated milk sources, giving cafés greater flexibility in managing their milk offering.
Can Barissima make babycinos at a lower temperature?
Yes. A babycino can be programmed as its own product at a lower temperature, with around 40°C being a typical example. Each café can set its own preferred temperature, quantity and texture. Because Barissima dispenses a programmed quantity specifically for the drink, it also helps minimise leftover milk.
Can Barissima dispense cold milk?
Yes. Barissima can dispense hot, cold and textured milk, allowing cold milk products to be programmed alongside heated drinks. A great feature as cold coffee drinks usually allow for a higher sales price
Can Barissima be used with alternative milks?
Currently, Barissima is specifically designed for dairy milk, and we do not recommend using alternative milks for standard operation.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Do automated milk systems require cleaning during the trading day?
Some systems do. Under normal operation, Barissima does not require an additional full cleaning cycle during the trading day. Automatic rinsing is triggered after longer periods of inactivity, while the assisted daily cleaning cycle is normally completed at the end of service.
How long does Barissima take to clean?
The automated daily cleaning cycle takes 23 minutes, while the initial setup requires about 2 minutes. The entire cleaning process operates automatically, allowing you to focus on tidying up the rest of your coffee shop.
Does Barissima require a monthly deep clean?
No. No routine scheduled monthly deep clean is required as part of the normal operator cleaning procedure. A descale though is necessary when prompted on the screen.
Do automated milk systems require daily filter consumables ?
Some milk systems use replaceable outlet filters or filter discs. This comes at a daily cost. Barissima does not require a daily outlet filter disc.
INSTALLATION, SUPPORT & SALES
Can Barissima be installed into an existing café?
Yes, provided the required services can be accommodated. Barissima requires countertop space, a 240 V / 15 A electrical supply, direct water connection, free-flow drain and suitable refrigerated milk storage.
Who installs Barissima?
Barissima installations are coordinated through Barissima Australia and its authorised service network. Installation includes connection to the required water, drain and electrical services, followed by machine setup and commissioning.
Barissima has trained service and distribution partners throughout Australia. Contact Barissima Australia to identify the appropriate partner for your location.
Is training provided after installation?
Yes. Operator training is provided as part of the installation so café staff understand normal operation, drink selection, basic programming and daily cleaning.
Is Finance available for a Barissima system?
Yes. Finance options are available to help businesses purchase a Barissima system. Contact Barissima Australia to discuss current finance solutions and eligibility.
Can I see it in action or arrange a demonstration?
Yes. Contact Barissima Australia to discuss demonstration options or opportunities to see Barissima operating in a commercial café environment
CHOOSING AN AUTOMATED MILK SYSTEM
Why is Barissima different from other automated milk systems?
Barissima combines programmable temperature and texture, hot and cold milk, Single or Dual Milk configurations, dual on-demand flash heating, automatic rinsing, assisted daily cleaning and compact countertop installation in one commercial milk system.
It also allows different drinks to use different temperatures and texture settings rather than restricting the café to a single milk temperature or configuration.
How important is installation footprint and under-counter space?
Very important. Automated milk systems vary considerably in how much countertop and under-counter space they require.
Barissima itself is a compact countertop machine approximately 18 cm wide. It does not require a separate under-counter machine module. Only the refrigerated milk supply needs to be accommodated, which can typically be located below the counter or nearby.
What should I compare when choosing an automated milk system?
Look beyond dispensing speed alone. Important factors include temperature flexibility, texture control, hot and cold milk capability, number of milk sources, temperature consistency during continuous service, cleaning frequency, consumables, heating method, installation footprint and ongoing service requirements.
Are all automated milk systems the same?
No. Automated milk systems can differ substantially in heating technology, milk configurations, temperature flexibility, cleaning requirements, consumables and installation requirements. Understanding these differences is important when selecting a system for a commercial café.
