Integrated Touchscreen Interface
The built-in 3.5-inch touchscreen replaces the external controller used on earlier R58 configurations. The interface provides access to PID boiler temperature adjustments, a digital shot timer, energy-saving settings, automatic scheduling, and system diagnostics.
Programmable Auto-On & Eco Mode
The 7-day programmable auto-on schedule allows users to set individual heating schedules throughout the week. This can help ensure the machine is ready when needed while reducing unnecessary warm-up time.
The integrated Eco Mode provides an energy-saving standby function that can reduce power consumption when the machine remains idle for extended periods.
Independent Dual Boiler System
The R58 TUNE uses two independent stainless-steel boilers to separate brewing and steaming functions. The 0.58-liter brew boiler is dedicated to espresso extraction, while the larger 1.8-liter steam boiler provides steam for milk texturing and hot-water applications.
The dual-boiler configuration allows espresso extraction and milk steaming to take place simultaneously, helping maintain consistent brewing temperatures while producing steam for milk-based beverages.
Commercial-Grade Rotary Pump
A commercial-grade rotary pump provides smooth and quiet operation while maintaining stable extraction pressure. The rotary pump design is well suited for home baristas looking for commercial-style espresso machine performance in a countertop format.
Flexible Water Supply
The R58 TUNE supports two water-source configurations. Users can operate the machine from its 2.5-liter internal water reservoir for a standalone setup or connect it directly to a household water supply using the included plumbing connection kit.
E61 Brew Group
The classic E61 brew group provides a heat-saturated brewing platform designed to maintain stable brewing temperatures. Its traditional design complements the machine's modern touchscreen controls and advanced dual-boiler system.
Italian Stainless-Steel Construction
Handcrafted in Milan, Italy, the R58 TUNE features a mirror-polished AISI 304 stainless-steel chassis. The updated panel geometry and heavy-duty block-style feet provide a refined appearance while creating a stable countertop platform.
Cool-Touch Steam & Hot Water Wands
The machine is equipped with insulated stainless-steel steam and hot-water wands designed to reduce surface heat during use. The insulated construction also helps simplify routine wiping and cleaning after steaming milk.
Dual Pressure Gauges
Two mechanical pressure gauges provide at-a-glance monitoring of the machine's internal pressure conditions. The gauges allow users to monitor both steam boiler pressure and extraction pump pressure.
