Crossland Coffee CC1
|
Move over Rancilio Silvia, the Crossland Coffee CC1 is here, with an innovative PID built right into the interface, and even more intuitive controls when it comes to perfecting your shot. One of the biggest complaints people have about other machines in this range is temperature variance, which the CC1 minimizes with an easy to use, programmable interface, displaying the brew temperature right on the front of the machine.
With programmable options, this machine also makes it so you can easily find settings you enjoy, and keep them that way without having to make guesses every morning as to whether or not the coffee you make will be delicious.

Crew Review
Pros
- Programmability - The CC1 enables you to set different variables such as pre-infusion and brew time, making it even easier to make coffee the way you like every time
- Integrated PID - Temperature variance is a thing of the past with this machine's built in thermostat displayed right on the intuitive interface
- Small Package, Big Punch - With all the features on this machine, we'd expect it to have a larger footprint, but that isn't the case with this machine taking up very little room on your counter top
|
Cons
- Awkward Water Tank - Although the water tank location makes it very easy to access and see the remaining water level, it can be a little awkward to remove and refill
- Utilitarian - The machine may have several functional bells and whistles, but it definitely has an industrial look that might not appeal to some people

How it Works
With an intuitive interface, this machine is very easy to operate, with a backlit display showing exactly what is happening. You can program three different selections to specify temperature, pre-infusion and total shot duration and switch quickly between brewing and steaming with the assistance of a thermoblock.

Features & Accessories
The Crossland Coffee CC1 is quickly proving itself to be one of the most consistent single boiler machines with it's built in PID and programmable functionality.
Components & Functionality
- Installed PID: The easily readable PID displaying brew temperature predominantly on this machine's interface. Easily readable, allowing you to keep temperature variance to a minimum.
- Thermoblock-Enhanced Steam: Pulling water from the boiler and through a thermoblock means you'll be able to switch quickly between steaming and brewing. This also means your boiler is constantly being refilled during the steam function, so no risk of burning it out.
- Large Water Reservoir: The two liter water reservoir on this machine makes it easy to keep the shots and steam coming fast without having to worry about filling the tank every couple of drinks. Keep it clean, though, and don't leave water sitting in there too long.
- Programmable Pre-Infusion: Did we mention consistency? The Crossland Coffee CC1 has the option for programmable pre-infusion, removing any inconsistency by pre-soaking the grinds prior to extraction to make sure the most flavor comes out of your pull.
- Shot Timer: No need to use the fingers, or the "one banana, two banana" trick to time your shots, just watch as the handy timer on the CC1 does all the work for you.
- 58mm Portafilter: Pretty much the industry standard these days, this machine uses a full 58mm portafilter.
- Articulating Steam Wand: This machine makes it easy to get your pitcher in the right position for steaming your milk, as it can rotate easily on it's swivel base.
- Programmable Options: The Crossland Coffee CC1 has three programmable menu selections, making it easy to remove pesky variables from your brewing process. Sort of a "set it and forget it" type deal.
