Di Pacci — Heat-Exchanger Volumetric Commercial Espresso Machine
Futurmat F3 Coffee Machine
The Futurmat F3 is a Spanish-built commercial espresso machine with a thermosiphon heat exchanger for every group and four programmable doses per group, built for dependable café service at an approachable price.
The Futurmat F3 is a heat-exchanger commercial espresso machine with a copper boiler (13 litres on the 2 group, 18 litres on the 3 group) and an independent thermosiphon heat exchanger feeding each group. Touch-sensitive chrome buttons give four programmable doses plus continuous on every group, and a programmable hot water outlet pours a set volume for tea and long blacks.
It is a straightforward, serviceable machine for cafés, restaurants and bakeries that want reliable volumetric espresso without paying for multi-boiler technology. Display versions add adjustable boiler temperature, a shot counter, automatic group cleaning and a programmable start and stop timer.

Key Features of the Futurmat F3
🔥 Copper heat-exchanger boiler
One large copper boiler supplies steam and hot water while each group's heat exchanger heats fresh brew water.
🔁 Thermosiphon per group
Water circulates naturally between each heat exchanger and its group, keeping the group heads at working temperature.
🎛️ Four doses per group
Touch-sensitive chrome buttons store four programmable volumes plus continuous, so every barista pours the same recipe.
💧 Programmable hot water
The hot water outlet dispenses a set volume at the touch of a button for teas and long blacks.
💨 Twin rotating steam arms
Two stainless steam arms let two people texture milk at once; Auto Steam is an option.
🧠 Display version extras
Adjustable boiler temperature from 78 to 98°C, shot counter, auto group cleaning and programmable on/off times.
Why a Heat Exchanger Suits Everyday Café Service
The F3 uses one big copper boiler for steam and hot water, with a separate heat exchanger for each group. It is the proven layout behind most busy cafés because it is simple, robust and quick to recover.
- The boiler sits at steam temperature, so both steam arms and the hot water outlet are always ready.
- Fresh water for each shot passes through that group's heat exchanger, so coffee is never brewed with water that has sat in the boiler.
- A thermosiphon loop keeps each group hot between shots, so the first coffee after a quiet spell pours as well as the tenth in a rush.
The result is a machine that handles steady café volume with fewer parts to fail, which keeps servicing simple and downtime short.

Di Pacci recommendation: Choose the 2 group for most cafés and restaurants; step up to the 3 group only when you regularly run two people on the machine. Don't bother with the F3 if you want independent group temperatures or pressure profiling; look at our La Marzocco machines instead.
