PID
The Magister Stella now comes standard with a PID device. This digital controller allows you to change the boiler temperature while greatly improving overall temperature stability whilst also eliminating the need for the added step of a cooling flush usually demanded by heat exchanger espresso machines. The PID comes in handy when brewing specialty coffees to bring out their flavour by testing at various temperatures.
E61 Group Head
The Stella has the very famous E61 group head which has been the golden standard for high end espresso machines for over 50 years. An E61 group head is heated using a thermosyphon system that circulates water through the group head keeping it very hot. The grouphead is controlled by raising the lever that activates the vibration pump and opens the group solenoid valve to deliver coffee. Once the desired quantity is reached, lower the lever to stop brewing.
Heat-Exchanging Boiler
The Magister Stella is fitted with a 1.3 litre copper boiler with heat exchanger system. That means you can steam milk and extract espresso at the same time. High 1500-watt heating element is controlled by a thermostat to maintain a constant temperature.
Stainless Steel Housing
The Magister Stella is housed in a highly durable and attractive stainless steel case.
Vibratory Pump
The Magister Stella boasts a powerful and quiet vibratory pump rated at 15 BAR of pressure to extract maximum flavour from the coffee beans.
3-Way Solenoid Valve
The three-way solenoid valve relieves pressure and sucks out the water in the grouphead when you’ve finished extracting your espresso. This means the portafilter (handle) can immediately be removed, re-filled with coffee and replaced to quickly start with the next brew cycle.
No Burn Steam & Hot Water Wands
The machine is equipped with no burn steam and hot water wands that can be moved without worry about burning your hands. Also, milk doesn’t stick to a dual-walled steam wand, making it is easier to keep clean.
Automatic Water Refill
The boiler of the Magister Stella comes with an automatic water-refill feature that allows uninterrupted supply of your favourite espressos and hot chocolates.

“We own a Magister Stella Professional Espresso Machine supplied by homebaristashop. My wife and I got the Coffee bug 3 years ago and bumbled along with a small Breville espresso machine then a larger Breville plus a Breville grinder but never felt we were in control. Our first contact with Neville from homebaristashop was when we purchased a Imex Home Coffee Roaster. Neville has since taught us to make coffee. We now have a Magister Stella Professional Espresso Machine that we cannot fault. Quick to heat ,ample capacity to froth milk and extract coffee continuously a smart looking unit that is user friendly. With the Stella we have a CompaK K3 Grinder and a Gene Café Coffee Roaster, all excellent equipment supplied by homebaristashop. We both can now make great coffee consistently. Our green coffee beans are sourced from Neville’s large selection. It can be confusing but fun. Without hesitation we would recommend that if you want to be a better Barista Neville at homebaristashop is your man.” – Jim – Ohope Beach
