Preface Preface The Service Manual document contains the most important information that is relevant to typical service and maintenance activities. If significant changes are made, then this document, along with the referenced attachments and related documents, will be updated and provided to registered users for download in the service center.
Introduction / Basics Important safety and hazard warnings General safety instructions CAUTION. The hazard warnings listed here must be familiar and must be followed before opening, repairing, or maintaining the coffee machine. Risk of Electrical Shock – Components carrying mains voltage The coffee machine is not fully disconnected from the mains if only switched off! Prior to any associated work, be sure to disconnect mains cable.

Machine concept The Schaerer Barista opens up a revolutionary new machine concept the likes of which has never been seen before. This machine concept combines the benefits of a fully automatic coffee machine with the high coffee quality and coffee culture of a semi-automatic coffee machine, largely eliminating the disadvantages of the machine types mentioned above.
Introduction / Basics Standard machines • 3/N/PE 380 V – 415 V / 6 kW – 7 kW • 2 brewing groups with grinders above them (up to two types of coffee are possible) • Bean hopper is removable & is dishwasher-safe •...
Heated cup storage with soft insert • • Adjustable touch surface design / functions Automatic detection of portafilter sizes • Barista botton Brewing piston tamped from above • SteamJet Actively aerated grinder motors and bean hoppers • Display the name of the bean type or beverage button name Freely accessible grinding wheel adjustment •...
Introduction / Basics Detailed information about the selected features 1.5.1 Portafilter Description - structure • There are 3 different sizes of portafilter. The only difference between the portafilters is their size, as a result the cup volume for ground coffee chute varies; the principle structure of the portafilter is the same.
Introduction / Basics 1.5.2 Portafilter detection Function description • The brewing groups (portafilter supports) contain automatic portafilter detection. • If a portafilter is inserted, the control will detect the portafilter size and automatically assigns the appropriate recipe to beverage buttons. The size of the portafilter is automatically detected using magnets which are worked into the bayonet of the portafilter and the reed contacts in Portafilter supports are installed.
Introduction / Basics 1.5.3 Brewer Description - structure • A vertically arranged piston brewer is installed without an ejection mechanism for each brewing group. • The brewing piston/distributor sieve is connected with the brewer spindle via a bayonet connector and is protected from being pulled out with a pis- ton lock.
Introduction / Basics 1.5.4 Brewing temperature can be adjusted for specific beverages Description of basic functions • The brewing temperature can be set using the software specifically to the recipe. • A proportional valve mixes cold water with hot brewing water coming from the flow heater, in a controlled fashion. Brewing temperature regulating functions •...
Introduction / Basics 1.5.5 Heated cup storage with soft insert The top cover, with integrated cup storage is fitted with a soft insert and surrounding railing which prevents the cups from tilting after the bean hopper is filled due to the closing of the cup holder. The cup storage is mounted on the machine holder with heater.
Introduction / Basics 1.5.6 Steam boiler pressure sensor Pressure sensor SW LW Description of basic functions • The pressure sensor detects the operating pressure of the boiler, and there- fore also indirectly the temperature setting -> 1.5 bar (equivalent to 127 °C) ...
Introduction / Basics 1.5.7 Visualization of event, error and maintenance messages Unlike other new generation machines, the Schaerer Barista does not have an event or error visualizationevent-, error and maintenance messages are solely transmitted by means of display messages/display animations.

Functional procedures Additional safety element in the flow heaters To protect excess pressure in the flow heaters, which can arise in an enclosed space when heating fluids, the brewing valves are installed opposite the actual flow direction. If the pressure exceeds 12 bar, the brewing valve of the concerned brewing group opens mechanically and the expansion water is fed into the outlet via the release valve which is opened during heating or via the brewing group.
Functional procedures 2.3.2 Auto/Powersteam lock The Schaerer Barista has two different steam variants: • • Auto Steam Powersteam Attached to the left-hand side of the machine Attached to the right-hand side of the machine Triggered via buttons Triggered via manual steam wheel ...
