About Stone
Stone is based in the heart of Milan, Italy, where the brand designs espresso machines that are as beautiful as they are compact and powerful. The focus from day one has been the home barista with limited space and limited patience for long warm-up times, who still refuses to compromise on coffee quality.
The Product
The Stone Lite is fitted with a thermosyphon system boiler, letting you brew and steam simultaneously — genuinely impressive for a machine this compact. Heating time is equally impressive: just 10 minutes to your first shot, made possible by a 200W heater built directly into the group head that rapidly brings it up to temperature and holds it there for stability throughout the session.
A second heating element — 1000W inside the 1.7L boiler — works alongside the group head heater to keep steam and hot water readily available. Despite its small footprint, the Stone weighs over 20kg, and that weight is a genuine advantage: it keeps the machine stable and still while you're brewing, rather than shifting under the pressure of tamping or portafilter engagement.
Key Features
Group-head heater (200W, PID-controlled) — Rapid 10-minute heat-up with stable, consistent brewing temperature.
Thermosyphon boiler system — Simultaneous brewing and steaming in a genuinely compact machine.
Heavy brass group (3kg+) — Substantial thermal mass for stability, not a lightweight compromise.
Stable, weighted build — Over 20kg keeps the machine still during brewing and tamping.
ECO mode — Reduce standby power draw when the machine isn't in active use.
Why Choose This Product
The Stone Lite is for the home barista with limited counter space and limited patience for a long pre-heat, who still wants genuine simultaneous brew-and-steam capability. If a 10-minute heat-up and a compact, weighted, stable build matter more to you than a large machine's footprint, this is built specifically around that balance.
