The Slayer Steam LP coffee machine combines an artisanal approach
to crafting espresso with high-volume capacity.
L
ike many musicians who
release an extended play
to test the waters before
they drop a full-length
album, Slayer Espresso has
launched the Steam LP, the follow-up to
its successful EP espresso machine.
Ross Quail, Asia-Pacific Branch
Manager of Slayer Espresso, says the
Steam LP represents a new high point
for the espresso machine manufacturer.
“The LP takes the most commercially
evolved machine in the Slayer range- the EP – and applies the manual
espresso making capability of the
classic Slayer Espresso and makes it
automatic,” Ross says.
“The machine evolves to the needs
of the individual who makes the coffee,
instead of vice versa. In the same way
using an iPhone becomes intuitive,
the Steam LP becomes second nature.
At Slayer, there is an embedded
empathy for that drive to make the best
coffee we possibly can, from the top
of the company with [President and
CEO] Jason Prefontaine to the most
junior technician.”
Jason says the Steam LP was
designed to highlight single origins
while bringing out the best in blends.
“The Slayer Steam LP simplifies the
workflow and dialling-in process, making
it easy to extract those boutique coffees
effortlessly and repeatedly,” Jason says.
“All Slayer machines are designed for
the passionate coffee lover and having
a Slayer on bench tells your customers
that you’re serious about serving them
the best. Working on a Slayer is also
a pleasure as it’s apparent that the
machines are designed and crafted
by fellow coffee lovers.”
The LP completes the Slayer
Steam Box Set, a collection of espresso
machines that caters to every budget,volume, and brewing type.
“Through the Box Set, we offer
a range of machines that focus on
workflow and design to allow those high-
quality machines to flourish within the
modern café. The Slayer design is a
beautiful marriage between form and
function. For instance, the hollows within
the legs allow you to stow electrical
cables to keep the workspace organised,
safe, and visually appealing,” Ross says.
“Then, we look at how the range
presents itself to the individual coffee
machine user. We start by asking people:
‘How do you make your coffee?’
Some people will say: ‘I craft everySlayer’s latest hit
“THE MACHINE EVOLVES TO THE NEEDS
OF THE INDIVIDUAL WHO MAKES THE
COFFEE, INSTEAD OF VICE VERSA.
IN THE SAME WAY USING AN IPHONE
BECOMES INTUITIVE, THE STEAM
LP BECOMES SECOND NATURE.”
