Crem ONE INFUSER Dual Boiler Espresso Machine
CREM ONE INFUSER Espresso Machine Overview
The CREM ONE INFUSER is a dual boiler espresso machine that improves on the design of the legendary Expobar Brewtus, adding a whole new level of design, features, and performance. We worked with Crem right from the beginning of this project and love its gradual soft pre-infusion function, contemporary angles, clean lines, the OLED display with 4 programmable buttons just above the E61 group, half-turn knobs, a double manometer, customizable side panels, and metallic feet. All together, the ONE INFUSER offers a powerful prosumer option for the discerning coffee lover.
Features and Performance
For features, there’s a lot to admire. The CREM ONE INFUSER is equipped with a 1.5-liter brew and 1.7-liter steam boiler, and 4 programmable buttons on the digital display. The digital display stores adjustment for the dual PID temperature controllers, showing brew temperature as well as a shot timer, and angled upward for easy usage. The copper boilers are capped by brass end plates and, as a dual boiler machine, you can expect to brew and steam at the same time. Each of the boilers can be switched on and off through the machine menu. Unique to Crem machines is the pre-infusion chamber milled into the group, allowing water to well up and pre-wet the coffee bed before full pressure is reached. For coffee shop and cafe owners, the ONE INFUSER is SGS certified, allowing it to be used commercially.
On the ONE INFUSER, by accessing the Barista menu, you can turn on GSP or gradual soft pre-infusion, which lets you set the time it takes for the rotary pump to ramp up to max pressure. With the ONE INFUSER’s DC variable speed pump, it can be programmed to reach full pressure between 2 and 30 seconds. Using this feature, you can experiment with ramp up times to get different results in the cup. The pump itself is a high quality Fluid-o-Tech pump.
The steam wand is no-burn, and the two knobs only need half a turn to open up their respective valves. Perhaps one of the most intriguing advancements made by Crem is hands-free frothing. Simply place your frothing pitcher on the drip tray with the tip at your desired angle. As the froth expands, it will cover the tip and then heat the milk.
Other small touches that really set the CREM ONE INFUSER apart are the smart drip tray and Auto On/Off settings. The drip tray is modular, letting you remove a riser from the center of the tray to allow for larger cups under the group head. The Auto On/Off settings let you program timers to automatically turn the CREM ONE INFUSER on or off, based on preference. This could let you have your machine ready by the time you need coffee in the morning, and have it shut off by the time you leave for work. For maintenance, you can set a service reminder to backflush after a specific number of brews.
Just as well, the shot mirror allows for easy viewing of your extraction while using a bottomless portafilter. For anyone who likes to control channeling and maximize drink quality, this is a leap forward in convenience.
The CREM ONE INFUSER includes a 7-gram filter basket, a 14-gram filter basket, a 21-gram basket, a cleaning brush, cleaning tablets, a blind filter basket, flat metal tamper, extra 3-hole steam tip, 10 oz frothing pitcher, and 1 double narrow spout portafilter.

Evan O’Callaghan –
I’ve been using a single boiler for over a decade now and I finally decided to upgrade. After going back and forth between the profitech pros and ECMs I settled on this beauty, the Crem One infuser. Honestly what sold me was one, the in-depth walk through videos here on Whole Latte, and what you get for the price. I’ve been using this machine for Read more about review stating My first dual boiler and I’m happy!6 months now without a single complaint. I love the digital display with auto start and shut off, the always displayed boiler temps, the back flush reminder, the angled bottom for easy view of the porta filter, and the half turn nobs. I could go on and on. I haven’t even mentioned how quiet this machine is or the choice between using a reservoir or pluming this thing directly, which I plan on doing next.
Short of automatic features this machine has it all, and that is why I purchased this machine. If you are the type who enjoys the process of making espressos but likes modern tech to help stream line the process and just make life easier, this is the machine for you.
