Slayer Espresso Steam Single – single-group machine with an internal water tank
You pull the shot with a variable flow rate, while a dedicated pre-brew circuit gently wets the puck – the Slayer Steam idea, now in a compact single group.
The Slayer Espresso Steam Single brings features from the Slayer Steam LP into a smaller format – with an internal water tank for the first time, ideal for cafés with limited space and for home use. Made to order.
Internal tank and pre-brew
For the first time, a Slayer has an internal 2.5-litre water tank – so it can be set up without a fixed water connection. A dedicated pre-brew circuit wets the coffee bed gently and evenly, the foundation for balanced extractions.
Manual, programmable, separate PID boilers
You pull manual shots with a variable flow rate and save up to two recipes for repeatable shots. Separate, PID-controlled brew and steam boilers keep the temperature stable. The compact housing measures around 45.7 × 36.8 × 57.1 cm and weighs about 38 kg.
Our opinion is one of many.

Get in touch directly
We make this model to order – we're happy to tell you the current lead time. In our showrooms in Bern, Gerberngasse 44 and Zurich, Hagenholzstrasse 50b you can see the machines for yourself. Financing available. A private barista course is included with the purchase of a machine. The course is for up to two people from the same household or company attending together and must take place within one month of the machine's delivery – after that, the entitlement expires. Get in touch with us for the course and we'll find a date together. Questions: [email protected] or by phone during business hours.
What goes with it
The machine deserves a matching grinder: you'll find models among our coffee grinders. For even tamping, a tamper – affordable and precise from the Normcore range, high-end from the Weber Workshops collection. A scale with app and flow rate display can be found in the Acaia collection. Not sure about the combination? Our machine and grinder advice will help.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Steam Single need a water connection?
No. For the first time at Slayer, it has an internal 2.5-litre water tank, so no fixed connection is needed.
What does the pre-brew circuit do?
It wets the coffee bed gently and evenly before the actual extraction – this helps produce balanced shots.
How big is it?
Compact: around 45.7 cm wide, 36.8 cm high and 57.1 cm deep, at about 38 kg.
Can I see the Slayer Espresso Steam Single live before buying?
That depends on whether the Steam Single is on display right now. Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich Oerlikon (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range – it is too large for that, and the display changes. Drop us a quick line at [email protected] before your visit, and we will check whether the Steam Single is currently there.
Roastery tip
For a dense, round espresso, you're spot on with Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight – chocolatey, nutty, full-bodied. If you're after maximum body with no acidity, go for Very Nutty; for a fruity, bright experience, it's worth trying Wild Peach. That's our recommendation, one of many.
