What's New in Commercial Coffee Innovation: Meet the Savante

The Future of Espresso Has Arrived

Concordia Beverage Systems, a Seattle-based manufacturer known for pioneering automated coffee solutions, has introduced the revolutionary Savante™ Espresso Machine, a remarkable fusion of two world-class Seattle brands. Combining Concordia's expertise in automatic precision with Synesso's globally recognized pressure profiling and temperature stability technology, the Savante delivers an unprecedented coffee experience with consistency, customization, and simplicity.

Where Automation Meets Barista-Level Performance

Designed to meet the demands of today's coffee programs, the Savante features 4-stage pressure profiling, dual auto-adjusting grinders, and real-time adaptive controls powered by advanced algorithms. The result? Consistently exceptional espresso extraction, cup after cup.

Perhaps most impressive is how closely the Savante rivals traditional barista-operated equipment. During a blind taste test, Dale Harris, former World Barista Champion, compared espresso from the Savante against a Synesso Hydra operated by a professional barista. His verdict:

"Both of these are very great espressos, and the gap between the two is very small."

Designed for Today's Beverage Programs

Beyond espresso, the Savante creates perfectly textured hot or cold microfoam, while an onboard refrigeration system accommodates two one-gallon milk containers for dairy or non-dairy options. Intelligent notifications alert operators when supplies are running low, helping maintain seamless service throughout the day.

The Savante is packed with features that simplify operations while elevating beverage quality, including:

Multi-bean capability for expanded menu offerings
Automatic cleaning cycles for simplified maintenance
Industry-leading integrated water filtration
Fully customizable drink recipes and beverage programming
Precision controls designed to optimize extraction and flavor consistency
