Di Pacci — Tank-Fed 1 Group Commercial Espresso Machine
Iberital IB7 Handy 1 Group Coffee Machine
The Iberital IB7 Handy is a single-group commercial espresso machine with its own water tank, so you can make cafe coffee where there's no water line to plumb into.
The Iberital IB7 Handy is the tank-fed version of Iberital's IB7, made in Barcelona, Spain. Iberital fits the Handy with an independent water tank, so it doesn't need a mains water inlet. The IB7 1 group runs a 6.5 L mono boiler on an 1800 W element, with electronic volumetric dosing (four programmable doses plus continuous), pre-infusion and automatic boiler refill.
That makes it a commercial-grade option for places a plumbed machine can't go: market stalls, event bars, offices without a water line, function rooms and mobile setups, or a serious home bar. You get the same robust IB7 build and ergonomic filter holder as the plumbed version; you just refill the tank instead of calling a plumber.

Key Features of the Iberital IB7 Handy
💧 Independent water tank
Iberital designed the Handy with its own tank, so it works anywhere with a power point and no water line.
🔥 Mono boiler system
One 6.5 L boiler (IB7 1 group) supplies steam and hot water while brew water is heated on the way to the group, so you can pull a shot and steam milk together.
🎛️ Electronic volumetric dosing
Four programmable doses plus continuous let any staff member pour a consistent shot.
🌱 Pre-infusion
The puck is wetted before full pressure, which evens out extraction.
🔄 Automatic boiler refill
The boiler tops itself up as you use steam and hot water, so there's nothing to manage mid-service.
🛠️ Commercial build
Stainless steel panels and the same robust IB7 platform used in cafes, in Iberital Red, Glossy White, Tiffanies Blue or Pure Black.
Commercial Espresso Without a Water Line
Most commercial machines must be plumbed into mains water and a drain, which rules them out for events, rented spaces and anywhere a plumber can't easily reach. The Handy swaps the water inlet for an independent tank.
- Fill the tank with filtered water and plug the machine in; no plumbing work is needed.
- The boiler refills itself automatically from the tank as you steam and pour hot water.
- Volumetric doses and pre-infusion give you the same consistent shots as a plumbed IB7.
You get a commercial group and boiler for pop-ups, offices and mobile service, and you can move it when the venue changes.

IB7 Handy vs Plumbed IB7 1 Group
Both use the IB7 1 group platform. The difference is where the water comes from.

Di Pacci recommendation: Choose the Handy when you can't or don't want to plumb in, or need to move the machine between sites. Don't bother with it for a fixed cafe doing steady volume; a plumbed machine saves constant tank refills, and the Expobar EX3 2 Group gives you a second group.
Best Grinders for the IB7 Handy
For mobile and low-to-medium volume service, a compact on-demand grinder keeps the setup small.

Iberital IB7 Handy — Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Iberital IB7 Handy need to be plumbed in?
No. Iberital builds the Handy with an independent water tank, so it does not need a mains water inlet. You fill the tank and the boiler refills itself automatically.
What power does the Iberital IB7 Handy need?
The IB7 1 group uses an 1800 W heating element. Call (02) 9758 0760 and we'll confirm the outlet requirement from the machine's rating plate before delivery.
Can the IB7 Handy brew and steam at the same time?
Yes. It uses Iberital's mono boiler system, so steam and hot water come from the boiler while brew water is heated on its way to the group.
What's the difference between the IB7 Handy and the standard IB7?
The Handy has its own water tank and no water inlet; the standard IB7 is plumbed into mains water. Both share the IB7 1 group platform with volumetric dosing and pre-infusion.
Is the IB7 Handy good for mobile coffee or events?
Yes. Because it runs from a tank, it suits markets, events and offices where plumbing isn't available.

It comes with a 12 month parts and labour warranty through Di Pacci, with servicing by our in-house technicians.
