The RS1 features Variable Steam Levers, with 3 customizable positions: Purge, First Position, Second Position. This feature allows baristas to gain more control over the steaming process.
By lifting the lever upwards, you are activating Purge Mode. The lever will release back into the starting position, making it perfect for a quick dispersion of steam to clear your wand.
Pulling downward allows you to activate the two steaming power positions.
Each of the three settings is fully customizable, allowing you to input a steam power percentage at each position. Some cafes will utilize these settings for steaming two different volumes, while others will program them for alternative milks. This makes steaming seamless and efficient, as well as decreasing cafe waste.
