Victoria Arduino Eagle One Prima – the single-group espresso machine with café DNA for home
First, this one quiet moment: the LED of the Ghost Display lights up, the shot timer counts along, and in the cup lands an espresso that tastes like your favourite bar – dense, clear, with that stable sweetness only a constant brew temperature can create. That's exactly what the Eagle One Prima is built for: the technology of a café machine, shrunk down to a single group and made for the counter at home.
The Prima carries Victoria Arduino's "Eagle" heritage into your own kitchen. Instead of large boilers running continuously, it uses the NEO system – a heating concept that only heats what's actually needed. The result is a machine that's ready to use in under eight minutes, noticeably lower in energy consumption, and still extracts at the level of a bar machine.
NEO – a new way to heat water
NEO stands for "New Engine Optimization." The instant-heating system heats precisely the amount of water needed for the next shot. That makes the stainless steel boilers more compact, and they're thermally insulated with a special material so barely any heat is lost. That's how the Prima goes from cold to ready in under eight minutes – faster than many machines in the same class – and, according to a life cycle assessment, operates with around 23% less environmental impact than comparable machines.
Saturated brew group
The brew group is directly coupled to the heating. That keeps the temperature constant throughout the whole shot – the basis for reproducible taste.
NEO Instant-Heating
Separate, insulated stainless steel boilers for brew water and steam/hot water. Only the water that's needed gets heated – ready to use in under 8 minutes.
Steam-by-Wire
Electronically controlled steam lever with pressure up to 2.5 bar and a cool-touch wand. 250 g of milk is frothed at 2 bar in around 18 seconds.
Ghost Display
A clean group keypad with display and three programmable buttons. The shot timer lights up brightly during the shot and fades when idle.
App control
Via WiFi and Bluetooth, the Prima connects to your smartphone or tablet. Temperature, shot time, and steam can be adjusted in real time.
Cloud recipes
Upload your own recipes to the cloud, share them with the community, or get inspired by other Prima users.
Auto-Purge
After removing the portafilter, the machine automatically cleans the group – fewer steps in your daily routine.
TERS heat recovery
The Thermal Energy Recovery System uses drained water to pre-warm incoming water, lowering consumption.
Volumetric dosing, free profiling
The Prima works with volumetric shot programs and uses standard commercial portafilters and baskets. Once you dial in your ratio cleanly – typically 1:2, so around 18 g of ground coffee to roughly 36 g of espresso – you pull it consistently, cup after cup, from then on. Through the app, you adjust brew temperature and steam to match your bean. With espresso there's no "right" or "wrong": ratio, grind size, and temperature are the dials you use to find your own taste.

Colours, variants and delivery
The Eagle One Prima is usually available from stock in Matt Black, Shiny (chrome-plated), and Matt White finishes. Beyond that, Victoria Arduino also produces your colour of choice as a RAL variant – this option, as well as EasyCream, is manufactured for you after order and payment and is ready for collection in around 8–12 weeks.
For the variants with delivery we bring the machine to you: we deliver it, set it up at the prepared location, put it into operation, and carry out the barista workshop on site with you. Deliveries are possible within a radius of around 2.5 hours' drive (e.g. Zürich, Basel, Lucerne, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne). Please allow around two hours for this and make sure a strong person is on hand to help carry it, along with a clear, clean spot for it. Without this option, the workshop takes place at our showroom. Every Victoria Arduino purchase includes a personal barista workshop (in German or English) – so your espresso succeeds right from the start. Financing is available.
Experience it live in Bern and Zürich
The Eagle One Prima lives through touch and feel: the substantial steam lever, the display lighting up, the calm way it runs. Come by, we'll show it to you and pull an espresso together. As food chemists and flavour developers, we look at coffee from a fresh angle – that's what you take home with you.
Roastery tip
Our balanced house roasts pair especially well with the Eagle One Prima: Cozy Chocolate, Nutty Delight and Very Nutty deliver a dense crema, chocolate and nutty notes, and forgive small differences in your dial-in – ideal for milk and for espresso on its own. If you like it fruity, discover with Wild Peach or Bright Cassis a brighter side. Discover all our beans in our coffee bean selection. That's our recommendation, one among many.
Frequently asked questions about the Victoria Arduino Eagle One Prima
Is the Eagle One Prima suitable for home use?
Yes. It's a single group, compact, and can be supplied from an internal tank or a plumbed water connection. It brings café-grade technology to your home counter and, thanks to NEO, is ready in under eight minutes.
Does the Prima have a saturated brew group and separate boilers?
Yes. The saturated brew group ensures a stable brew temperature. The NEO system uses separate, thermally insulated stainless steel boilers for brew water and for steam/hot water; the steam boiler holds 1.5 litres.
How long does the Eagle One Prima take to heat up?
Thanks to NEO Instant-Heating, it's ready to use in under eight minutes from cold.
What does the "with delivery" variant mean?
We deliver the machine, set it up at the prepared location, put it into operation, and carry out the barista workshop with you. This is possible within a radius of around 2.5 hours' drive (e.g. Zürich, Basel, Lucerne, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne). Please allow around two hours for this and arrange for a person to help and a clear spot for the machine.
Can I froth milk automatically?
As an option, EasyCream is available – an automatic milk frother (also for plant-based milk) – for an extra charge. Without this option, you froth with the Steam-by-Wire wand – 250 g of milk in around 18 seconds at 2 bar.
Which grinder pairs with the Eagle One Prima?
An espresso grinder with dosing suited to 58 mm and fine grind adjustment. Discover a selection in our coffee grinders as well as at Mahlkönig. We're also happy to advise you through our machine and grinder consultation.
Where can I buy the Victoria Arduino Eagle One Prima and experience it live?
The Eagle One Prima can be ordered directly online. We deliver standard colours nationwide and to Liechtenstein, usually within 2–4 business days; custom RAL colours and EasyCream are manufactured to order (approx. 8–12 weeks). Experience it live in our showrooms in Bern and Zürich – Click & Collect is available at both locations.
