The Crem Eclipse is a premium professional espresso machine designed for businesses that want consistent performance, modern design and the flexibility to personalise their setup. With multiboiler PID technology, energy saving software and barista friendly features such as soft pre-infusion and cool touch steam wands, the Eclipse delivers café quality coffee all day long.
Built with sleek glass side panels that can be customised with colours or branding, the Eclipse doesn’t just perform, it makes a statement on your counter. Available in 2 Group Compact, 2 Group and 3 Group models, it gives you the choice to match the right machine to your space and customer demand.
At our own offices, the Eclipse is one of the demonstrator machines we rely on to showcase what a mid-premium espresso machine can do. It has proved itself to be a reliable and well balanced choice, offering many of the advanced features you would expect from top end models but at a more attainable level for most businesses.
The Eclipse is well suited to:
When deciding between the compact, 2 group, or 3 group Eclipse, it comes down to your space, volume, and type of service. Here’s how to choose the right fit:
If counter space is tight but you still want a professional machine, the compact model is the right choice. At under 50 cm wide it fits where a full-sized machine would not, yet it still gives you two steam wands and enough power to handle steady service in a small café, restaurant, or bar. This is the ideal option if you need to serve quality coffee but can’t dedicate much space.
For most cafés and restaurants, the standard 2 group Eclipse is the sweet spot. With more boiler capacity and a slightly larger footprint than the compact, it gives you the power to handle busy periods with confidence while remaining easy to install in typical commercial kitchens or counters. If you want a machine that balances output with practicality, this is often the best choice.
If you run a busy coffee shop, hotel, or venue with multiple baristas working at once, the 3 group Eclipse is the machine built for you. The larger boiler and wider frame mean faster steam recovery and room for three baristas to work side by side, keeping queues moving during peak hours. If you know coffee is at the heart of your business and volume is high, the 3 group Eclipse will give you the performance and reliability you need.
The Crem Eclipse is a plumbed professional espresso machine and must be installed by a qualified technician. The 2 group compact and 2 group models normally run from a standard UK 230V single phase supply, while the 3 group requires a 3 phase connection due to its higher power demand. All versions need a plumbed water feed with an isolating valve, a drain connection for waste water, and a water filter to protect against limescale. If you are not sure whether your site is ready, just contact us and we will check everything for you before delivery.
We can provide the complete service: supplying the correct filter, arranging professional installation, and connecting the machine to your water and waste. In short, we will hold your hand through the entire process and make sure everything is set up correctly so you can focus on running your business.
Because the Eclipse has a commercial steam boiler, UK law requires compliance with the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (PSSR). This means the machine must be covered by a Written Scheme of Examination and receive a boiler inspection every 12 months. A certificate is issued after each inspection, which is also required for insurance purposes. We can include this in a service plan along with filter changes and annual maintenance so you never have to worry about compliance.
Day-to-day care is straightforward. Each group head has an automatic cleaning cycle, while steam wands and hot water taps can be flushed and wiped down quickly. Portafilters, drip trays and grids are simple to remove and rinse. With regular servicing, filter changes and basic daily cleaning, the Crem Eclipse will deliver reliable performance for many years.
The Crem Eclipse is supplied with a 12 month parts warranty as standard, giving you peace of mind that any mechanical faults will be covered with genuine manufacturer components. In addition, the group heads and boilers are covered for 24 months, reflecting the strength and reliability of Crem’s engineering in the most critical areas of the machine.
To keep your warranty valid, the Eclipse must be professionally installed, regularly serviced, and kept compliant with PSSR boiler inspections. We can provide service plans that include annual servicing, filter changes, and certification, ensuring your warranty remains fully protected and your machine continues to perform at its best.
This means you can invest in the Crem Eclipse with confidence, knowing that you are supported long after installation.
Why should I consider the Crem Eclipse for my business?
The Eclipse offers many of the advanced features you would normally associate with premium machines, but at a more accessible price point. With multiboiler PID technology, cool-touch steam wands, automatic cleaning and the option to customise its design, it gives you high performance and reliability without the cost of a flagship brand.
Is the Eclipse reliable enough for a busy coffee shop?
Yes. The Eclipse is designed for high-volume use and comes in 2 group compact, 2 group and 3 group models to suit different levels of demand. We believe in it strongly enough to use it ourselves as one of our own demonstrator machines, where it has proved to be consistent, durable and a pleasure to work with.
How easy is it for staff to use?
The machine has been designed with baristas in mind, with features like a multifunction display, backflush buttons, barista lights and automatic cleaning. Even less experienced staff can pick it up quickly, making training and day-to-day operation straightforward.
How does the Eclipse compare on price to other premium machines?
The Eclipse is priced below flagship models such as La Marzocco or Sanremo Café Racer but still offers many of the same capabilities. For most businesses, it strikes the right balance between performance and affordability, giving you a premium machine without stretching your budget.
Can I customise the look of the Eclipse?
Yes. The side and back panels can be customised with colours or branding, so the machine can be tailored to reflect your business identity and stand out on the counter.
What kind of support can I expect after purchase?
We provide full installation and offer ongoing service plans that cover annual servicing, PSSR certification and filter changes. These plans are optional but highly recommended, as they help keep your machine in top condition and ensure compliance with UK regulations.
