Thick film heaters – efficient heating technology

A thick-film heater revolutionizes heating technology by only consuming energy when water is actually flowing through the system. This means maximum efficiency and minimal energy waste. Especially in modern portafilter machines, like the MARO Model 1, this technology ensures lightning-fast steam generation and hot water supply – without any preheating.

Advantages of a thick film heater:

✅ Instant steam and hot water supply – no more annoying waiting
✅ Energy saving – consumption only when water flow is active
✅ Space-saving design – ideal for compact machines
✅ Durability – Efficient and robust heating technology

How does a thick film heater work?

A thick-film heater heats water directly as it flows through the system, without the need for a boiler or preheating. This means energy is only consumed when the water is actually being heated, saving time and electricity.

What are the advantages of a thick film heater in the MARO Model 1?

Thanks to this technology, the MARO Model 1 can deliver steam and hot water instantly, without long warm-up times. This means faster coffee enjoyment, lower energy consumption, and more efficient use.

Is a thick film heater durable and easy to maintain?

Yes! Its compact design and direct water heating reduce limescale buildup, extending its lifespan and minimizing maintenance. This makes it particularly reliable for daily use.
