Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Sanremo F18 SB and the F18 MB?
The F18 SB uses a heat exchange (HX) boiler system — a single large boiler with a copper coil carrying brew water through it, allowing simultaneous brewing and steaming with excellent temperature stability. The F18 MB (Multi-Boiler) goes further, providing independent dedicated brew boilers per group head alongside a separate steam boiler, giving the barista precise, independent temperature control on each group. The MB is the preferred choice for specialty venues where different coffees require different brew temperatures. For most high-street café and restaurant use, the F18 SB’s HX system delivers outstanding, consistent results. Talk to our team if you’re unsure which suits your operation.
What group head configurations are available on the Sanremo F18 SB?
The F18 SB is available in 2 group and 3 group configurations. The 2-group model (901mm wide, 90kg) suits medium-to-high volume service. The 3-group model (1071mm wide, 103kg) is designed for high-volume environments where two baristas may be working the machine simultaneously. Both feature the same heat exchange boiler technology, pre-infusion, and LED-lit work area.
