The Anza R2 Espresso Machine is a home espresso machine notable for its unconventional, brutalist design, resembling a piece of sculpture. It is manufactured by AnZa Coffee, a brand by Montaag, a multidisciplinary studio focused on distinctive aesthetic solutions. The Anza R2 features a hand-cast concrete shell, porcelain touchpoints, a matte black steel base, and brass accents.
Key features include a PID-controlled stainless steel boiler that maintains a steady brewing temperature, a thermocoil system for instant steam, and adjustable brew pressure. It also has a 58 mm ceramic-handled portafilter, a cool-touch steam wand, a removable glass water tank, and a hot-water spout. The machine's brewing pressure is adjustable from 8-12 bar, which is displayed on a front-mounted gauge. The price of the Anza R2 is approximately $2,050 - $2,550. The Anza R2 is available for pre-order, with machines being crafted in small batches.
