A CUP OF JOE

Nothing gets you out of bed every morning like a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Forget the traditional drip or French press methods. Espresso draws more flavour and aroma out of your beans. And when you have some of the best coffee beans, from Hawaiian Kona and Jamaica Blue Mountain, to Sumatra Mandheling, at your disposal, you want to make sure that you have a high-quality espresso machine. Consider the Slayer Espresso Single Group. The commercialgrade appliance comes with a signature flow control that allows you to extract and manipulate the flavour of your espresso. There are both manual and semi-automatic modes, so you can still brew the perfect cup, even if you are no barista. The touchscreen interface is also helpful when it comes to getting the temperature right and choosing your favourite flavour profile, while a patented pre-brew technology ensures that your beans are finely ground to give your coffee body and a beautiful layer of crema. With a name like Slayer, you would expect nothing less from this lean, mean espresso machine. The Slayer Espresso Single Group will look right at home on your kitchen counter thanks to its black body panels and ash wood finish. But this is where Slayer slays the competition—it offers numerous personalisation options, from the body and X-legs, to the actuators and cup rails, so you can build your dream machine from scratch. Jimmy Monkey is the official exclusive distributor of Slayer espresso machines in Singapore.
