About Sanremo
Sanremo builds its business around #wearesanremo — a philosophy of involving its entire community, suppliers, and customers along the path from sketch to coffee shop. That family-driven identity shows up in every machine: built by professionals, for coffee lovers, with a team mentality running through the whole company.
The Product
The F18SB is built for restaurants, coffee shops, and roasting companies who need reliability, robustness, and speed above all else — and its multifunction interface makes operation and setup genuinely simple and fast. Its design borrows the strong, confident lines of the much-loved F18, replicated here in die-cast aluminium supports that signal solidity the moment you see the machine.
With PID heat control and an insulated boiler, the F18SB sits in Sanremo's Energy Efficient Machine (SEEM) range, using up to 20% less energy than a traditional single-boiler machine through a stepped energy-saving system. High-performance stainless steel steam wands deliver silky, consistent milk texture for latte art, and a simple five-button keypad lets baristas dial in their coffee to the milligram without wrestling with a complicated menu system.
About the Product Line: F18 vs F18SB
The F18SB shares its design language and steam performance with the flagship F18, but at a more accessible price point and with a simpler five-button interface rather than the F18's capacitive touch display. If you want the F18's build quality and reliability with a more straightforward operating interface, the F18SB is the natural choice.
Key Features
Simple 5-button keypad — Dial in coffee to the milligram without a complex menu system.
PID heat control with SEEM efficiency — Up to 20% less energy use through a stepped energy-saving system.
High-performance steam wands — Consistent, silky milk texture for confident latte art.
All-metal angular structure — Durable, long-lasting build with side-panel electronics for easy engineer access.
Choosing Between Versions
Available in 2 Group and 3 Group, both with pre-infusion, PID control, and cool-touch steam wands as standard. Choose based on your genuine peak-hour throughput and barista headcount.
Why Choose This Product
The F18SB is for the restaurant or coffee shop that wants F18-level reliability and steam performance with a simpler, more straightforward control interface — ideal for teams that don't need (or want) a full touchscreen learning curve. If speed and robustness matter more than the latest interface tech, this is built with that priority in mind.

Buying and Installation Notes
Confirm your available voltage and phase supply before ordering — the 3 Group requires a 380–415V, three-phase supply. Given its weight and duty cycle, direct plumbing into your water and drain lines is recommended.
