The first boilerless professional espresso module: on-demand induction, recipe-level temperature & pressure control, and up to 90% less energy than a traditional boiler machine.
Heylo rethinks the espresso machine from the ground up: no boiler, no idle heat, no thermal lag. Water is heated on demand by induction, at the exact moment of extraction, giving every shot the same precise temperature and pressure. Designed and built by VEA Group in Bergamo, Italy — the same industrial family behind Carimali and Elektra, with over 100 years of combined coffee-machine engineering. Heylo was selected for the ADI Design Index 2023 as the first professional espresso machine to heat water by induction, and exhibited at the ADI Design Museum in Milan.

01
Boilerless by design
There is no boiler in this machine – and that is the whole point. An induction element heats water only at the point of extraction, dynamically, between 80 and 98°C. According to the manufacturer, energy draw between shots is close to nothing, and exactly zero outside operating hours, since there is no thermal mass to keep warm.
On-demand induction heating – zero boilers in the system
Dynamic temperature control, 80–98°C, with profiling per recipe
Fresh water every shot – no water sitting in a hot metal tank
02
Recipe-level control
Every barista pulls a shot slightly differently – unless the machine itself remembers the recipe. Each Heylo group head stores up to 100 individual recipes and runs as an independent brewing unit, with temperature, flow and pressure settings stored per recipe. The barista selects a recipe on the display or via the dial, and it is applied consistently on every shot – regardless of who is behind the bar.
Up to 100 stored recipes per group, temperature & pressure profiling
Coffee filter dose from 7 to 22 g, pump pressure 9–10 bar
4.3" colour touch display
03
Modular, scalable, always serving
Heylo is not one machine with several groups – it is several fully independent brewing units that happen to sit side by side. Each module runs on a standard grounded socket, so no electrician or dedicated circuit is required for a single unit. Start with one group and add another the moment the business grows. If a module ever needs attention, a technician can swap it on-site within minutes and service it off-site – according to the manufacturer, every other module keeps working without interruption.
Fully independent modules – scale up without rebuilding the bar
Standard grounded socket per module, no special electrical installation for a single unit
On-site swap in minutes, other modules unaffected*
Manufacturer-rated for 500+ coffees per group, per day
04
Radically efficient
A traditional boiler runs hot all day, whether it is serving a queue or waiting for the first customer. Heylo only spends energy when a shot is actually being pulled. Based on a usage scenario of 200 coffees/day, the manufacturer reports up to 70% less energy use than a traditional 2-group boiler machine – around 5,038 kWh and 1,043 kg of CO₂ saved every year – plus no annual boiler inspection and no boiler descaling cycle to plan around.

No boiler inspection, no boiler descaling cycle – other routine maintenance still applies

Applications
Where Heylo fits
Hotels
Breakfast peaks handled by matching module count to real volume
One unit's fault doesn't stop the others
Cafés / Specialty Coffee
Manage several coffees on one machine
Each with its own 80–98°C profile
Restaurants
Compact footprint, 358×399×430 mm per module
Consistent quality without a dedicated coffee program
Offices / Businesses
Professional espresso quality from a single module
At up to 2,800 W / 230 V, operating current is approximately 12.2 A — comfortably within the 16 A rating of a standard Greek/EU Schuko-type socket. A single module needs no special electrical installation; for multiple modules, Solino's service team checks total circuit load on site before installation.
Comparison
Heylo Coffee Module vs. a traditional boiler machine
Traditional boiler machine
Water heating: central boiler, continuously heated
Idle energy use: continuous (idle heat)
Temperature response: slow, due to thermal mass
Temperature control: usually one fixed setting per group
Recipe management: few global presets
Modularity: one fixed machine, fixed number of groups
Maintenance on failure: a boiler fault often affects the whole machine
Expandability: a capacity jump usually means a new machine
Heylo Coffee Module
Water heating: on-demand induction, active only during extraction
Idle energy use: close to zero between shots, zero outside opening hours*
Temperature response: no noticeable delay, per recipe*
Temperature control: dynamic 80–98°C, per recipe
Recipe management: up to 100 recipes per group
Modularity: each group an independent, expandable module
Maintenance on failure: on-site module swap; other modules keep running*
Annual boiler inspection/descaling: not applicable (no boiler) — other maintenance remains
Expandability: add a module instead of buying new

Service
Service & support from Solino
As the exclusive distributor of the Heylo Coffee Module in Greece, Solino manages the machine's entire lifecycle: consulting before purchase (sizing the right number of modules to your operating volume), installation with a check of the electrical and hydraulic connections, staff training on recipe management, genuine spare parts, and technical support across Greece. The modular architecture means that, in a service case, the affected unit can be swapped on site — the repair happens separately, without interrupting the rest of your bar's operation. Solino positions itself not as a reseller, but as a long-term technical partner, from first installation to ongoing care of your investment.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does "no boiler" actually mean?
The Heylo Coffee Module has no central boiler. Water is heated by induction at the exact moment of the shot, with no continuous heating while idle.
How much energy is actually saved?
According to the manufacturer, up to 70% less than a traditional 2-group boiler machine, based on 200 coffees/day (5,038 kWh / 1,043 kg CO₂ saved per year, manufacturer figures).
What is the brewing temperature range?
Dynamically adjustable between 80°C and 98°C, set individually per stored recipe.
How many recipes can be stored?
Up to 100 individual recipes per group head.
Does it need special electrical work?
No. Each module runs on a standard grounded socket (220–240 V, up to 2,800 W, roughly 12.2 A) — no electrician or dedicated circuit needed for a single unit. For multiple units, Solino checks total load on site.
What happens if a module fails?
According to the manufacturer, the affected module can be swapped on site within minutes; the other modules continue running unaffected.
Can I expand later?
Yes — the modular architecture lets you add further modules without replacing the existing installation.
Is annual descaling required?
A classic boiler descaling cycle does not apply, since there is no boiler. Standard maintenance (water filtration, group head cleaning, wear parts) remains necessary.
Is the machine "maintenance-free"?
No — no professional espresso machine is. Heylo removes boiler-specific maintenance; baseline care remains part of the Solino service agreement.
How many coffees can one module handle per day?
The manufacturer states a capacity of over 500 coffees per group per day — in practice, barista speed is the limiting factor, not the machine.
Is there a matching milk module?
Yes, the standalone, induction-based heyMILKY milk module — optional, added only when the menu requires it, not part of the base espresso unit.
Where is the machine designed and built?
The Heylo Coffee Module is developed and realised by Italy's VEA Group (parent of Carimali and Elektra), headquartered in Bergamo, Italy.
Has it received any design recognition?
Heylo Coffee was selected for the 2023 ADI Design Index in Italy as the first professional espresso machine to heat water by induction, and exhibited at the ADI Design Museum in Milan.
