Modbar Espresso AV 1 Group Module
Modbar's under-counter volumetric espresso system in its single-tap module form, built and sold with La Marzocco. The module below the counter holds a 1.4 litre coffee boiler and the pump, while slim heated taps with a four-position lever sit on the bar, so cafés can open the sightline between barista and guest; steaming is handled by a separate Modbar Steam module.
