Di Pacci — 3 Group High-Group PID Commercial Espresso Machine

Expobar EX3 3 Group High Group Coffee Machine

The Expobar EX3 3 Group, now sold under the Crem name, is a PID-controlled café machine with high groups for takeaway cups and the bench width to run three baristas at once.

The Expobar EX3 3 Group pairs a 17.5 litre copper boiler with PID temperature control, volumetric dosing with a display and shot timer on each group, and a built-in rotary pump. It comes with high (take-away) groups, two cool-touch steam wands and an electronic hot water outlet.

Crem, the Spanish company that makes Expobar machines, designed the EX3 around barista workflow: a group flush button for quick purges, electronically controlled pre-infusion, dual pressure gauges and an automatic group cleaning cycle. At 990 mm wide and 74 kg it needs a solid bench and a commercial electrical supply, so it suits busy venues rather than small kiosks.

Key Features of the Expobar EX3 3 Group

🌡️ PID temperature control

Holds boiler temperature tightly, so shots taste the same in the morning rush and the afternoon lull.

⌨️ Volumetric dosing with shot timers

Programmed doses and a timer on each group help staff keep extraction consistent.

🥤 High groups

Take-away cups fit straight under the spouts, saving a pour from a jug.

💧 Electronic pre-infusion

A short, controlled soak before full pressure helps even extraction.

❄️ Cool-touch steam wands

Two insulated wands stay cool to the touch and are easier to wipe clean.

🧼 Group flush and auto cleaning

A purge button and automatic cleaning cycle speed up shift changes and close.

Why PID Matters on a Busy Café Machine

Traditional café machines use a pressurestat that lets boiler temperature swing up and down by several degrees. In a rush, those swings show up as sour or bitter shots.

  • The EX3's PID controller measures temperature continuously and adjusts the element in small steps.
  • Boiler temperature stays in a narrower band, even as steam and hot water are drawn off.
  • Combined with volumetric doses and shot timers, staff get a repeatable shot without constant re-dialling.

The result is a more consistent cup across a long service, with fewer remakes when the machine is under load.

EX3 2 Group vs 3 Group

The same EX3 platform in two sizes.

Feature EX3 2 Group EX3 3 Group
Boiler 11.5 L 17.5 L
Width 770 mm 990 mm
Weight 62 kg 74 kg

Di Pacci recommendation: Choose the 3 group if you regularly run three baristas or serve well over 300 coffees a day. Don't bother if your bench is under a metre wide or two people cover the rush; the Expobar EX3 2 Group is the better fit.

Grinders for the EX3 3 Group

A three-group bar usually runs two grinders: one for the house blend and one for decaf or a single origin.

Grinder Burrs Why it pairs well
Mazzer Major V Electronic 83 mm flat Single, double and triple doses for the house blend
Fiorenzato F83 Electronic 83 mm flat High-volume on-demand grinding
Quamar M80 E OD 63 mm flat Compact second grinder for decaf
