Overview
The Expobar Office Pulser arrived well packed in a very sturdy cardboard box that has a little
space for accessories to be added. Nice to see the use of shaped polystyrene as a packing
material. This machine is unlikely to get damaged in transit.
Externally the machine is well finished using high quality components and has a solid and
quality feel. The construction is mostly high polished stainless steel apart from the front panel
containing the steam and hot water knobs which is black painted or enamelled steel. The
warmer tray is reasonably well sized but not as large as a Vivi, the machine is quite tall, there
is sufficient clearance under normal height kitchen wall cupboards (non-standard height
cupboards would almost certainly cause a problem), also there is not much room above to
place items on the cup warmer tray. The Expobar Office Pulser had no rattles, even from the
cup tray which was a snug fit on the test machine the vibe pump is reasonably quiet when
operating and certainly it is not obtrusive.
The drip tray is not huge, holding around 600-700cc of water and made of plastic, but the bulk
of it is hidden behind the curved steel front panel. On a machine of this price I don’t think it is
a problem and is fine to use. The Chromed steel grid for the cups above the drip tray looks
nice and works well.
As with some other machines the portafilter basket comes assembled and the spouts in the
right place. The standard equipment is a double portafilter (2 spouts) and a single and double
basket plus a rubber disk to insert when backflushing.
The insulated boiler is a good size of 1.5 litres (not surprising because I am sure I have seen
it before as one of the two boilers on the Expobar Brewtus II. It is a Heat Exchanger machine
with a powerful 1200w heating element. This is more than sufficient to maintain temperatures
and give fast recovery times. You can brew espresso and draw steam or hot water all at the
same time with this machine. There is no special preparation required to switch it into steam
mode as on some cheaper (and more expensive!) machines. It is a very strong steamer and
the single hole steam tip works very well indeed, the recovery time after drawing water for an
Americano is fast and has only a small impact on brew water temperature (while recovering).
Some of the things I loved were:
The same or similar quality components used as on the Brewtus II.
The water and steam wands are well placed, mounted on ball joints and the knobs
are a really nice size. They use no compression valves (as used on the Andreja
Premium), thinking about why they didn’t use these valves on the Brewtus II made my
head hurt, so I gave up trying to rationalise it.
Just how well it was put together on the inside, the Spanish have certainly done a
nice job on this machine, with a lot of attention to detail and quality
It’s price, pretty amazing for a HX machine of this quality and performance
As always, there are a few minor changes that I would like to see, even for this
machine (which I really liked), but no quality issues whatsoever. The changes are
mostly design related so may be difficult to resolve and to be honest would serve to
increase the cost of the unit.
