Description
The Whale G3038A is built for the next level of home espresso: classic E61 performance with the control of a modern machine. A brass E61 group head with thermosiphon circulation and mechanical pre-infusion keeps the brew temperature steady and the extraction even, shot after shot. Behind it, a 2-litre heat exchanger boiler in stainless steel and copper lets you pull espresso and steam milk at the same time, with the thermal reserve for back-to-back drinks.
What sets it apart from a traditional E61 is how much you can adjust. A dual-mode OPV lets you preset the brew pressure or turn the knob during the shot. PID control holds the temperature where you set it. A second-generation pre-infusion system splits pre-wetting and pre-infusion into separate timers, and a touch screen with a coffee pressure gauge shows exactly what is happening. All of it sits in a 22.8 cm-wide body with walnut accents and a mirror-finish stainless steel shell, at home in a kitchen or on a bar.
How it works
Classic E61 brass group head
Electroplated brass, thermosiphon circulation and mechanical pre-infusion for a stable temperature, less channelling and a more even extraction.
2 L heat exchanger boiler
Stainless steel boiler with copper plumbing for fast, stable heat exchange while you brew and steam cup after cup.
Dual-mode OPV pressure control
Preset the pressure before the shot for consistency, or adjust it in real time for full control over the profile.
PID smart temperature control
Holds the extraction temperature steady. The steam boiler is adjustable from 80 to 135 °C.
Key features
E61 craftsmanship in every shot
The copper group head combines durability with the timeless mechanical look of a classic espresso machine. Its thermosiphon loop keeps water circulating through the group so the temperature stays constant, and mechanical pre-infusion wets the puck gently before full pressure arrives. The result is a consistent extraction and a rich crema.
Brew and steam at the same time
Copper plumbing feeds the group and the steam wand independently, so you can pull a shot while the milk is texturing. The 2-litre boiler supplies the thermal power to keep going through a round of drinks without waiting for recovery.
Rotary pressure control
The OPV knob lets you match the brew pressure to the coffee. Start at 9 bar for a balanced espresso and move from there.
| Pressure | Result |
|---|---|
| 6–7 bar | Bright, clear acidity. Light and experimental roasts. |
| 7–9 bar | Balanced. Medium to dark roasts. |
| 9–11 bar | Rich and creamy. Dark roasts; needs a careful hand. |
Grind size and bean quality shape the cup as much as pressure does.
Second-generation pre-infusion
Pre-wetting and pre-infusion are set separately, each from 0 to 10 seconds, so you decide how long the puck blooms and how much water reaches it before the shot. More even saturation means a fuller extraction with less channelling.
Smart dual display
A coffee pressure gauge shows the extraction pressure in real time, and the touch screen puts pressure, temperature and time settings a tap away.
Commercial three-hole steam wand
The extended wand with a three-hole tip delivers dry steam for a fine, uniform microfoam, in pitchers of any size. Steam temperature is adjustable to suit your milk and your drinks.
Compact body, premium finish
At 22.8 cm wide, the Whale fits a kitchen counter without taking it over. Precision-crafted curves, natural walnut accents and rounded edges give it a look that suits any home.
Colours
Blends into a kitchen, a living room or a coffee corner. Available in Ivory White and Metallic Silver.
