This patented system is very easy to use and cleans the filter better and faster: simply insert the portafilter into the slot, then pull it out just a second later—spotlessly clean.

With Pro-Fondi, there’s no more banging on knockboxes and bash bars, which means no more risk of micro-trauma to the hand, wrist, and forearm. The system also offers the barista greater freedom of movement (no more open drawers and bash bars in your workspace) and, thanks to its collection system, the used coffee grounds fall straight into the bag below the device, ensuring maximum hygiene behind the bar—both on and under the floor.

Pro-Fondi also saves money:

• in terms of annual working hours spent cleaning the portafilter,
• in maintenance and call-out costs due to the reduced need to replace filters and seals on your coffee machine.

La San Marco offers two installation options:

• Pro-Fondi IN, attached to the counter, requires drilling into the countertop.

• Pro-Fondi OUT (external), an accessory for mounting outside the counter, usually attached to the machine’s foot or positioned under the grinder.
