Victoria Arduino E1 Prima and Prima Pro: Single-Group Espresso with Professional Control
The Victoria Arduino E1 Prima family brings programmable espresso preparation to a compact single-group station. It is suited to a serious home coffee bar, a small professional workspace or a secondary espresso station where a full-size commercial machine would occupy too much room.
Choose Prima Volumetric for the original NEO-based platform, Prima with Easy Cream for automated milk preparation, or Prima Pro for T3 Genius and PureBrew capability. These are different configurations with different electrical requirements, so the version selector is more than a finish choice.
Choose the right Prima

A flexible coffee station
Reservoir capability allows placement where a permanent water line is not practical, while direct-water operation can suit a fixed station. The U.S. installation sheets list an approximately 16.25-inch width, 20-inch depth and 15-inch height. Leave working room for the grinder, pitcher and access to water and cleaning supplies.
Espresso and milk workflow
Programmable volumetric delivery helps repeat a recipe once the grinder and dose are dialed in. The original Prima uses NEO heating technology, while Prima Pro moves to the T3 Genius platform. Cool-touch steam equipment and automatic purging support everyday use.
The Easy Cream variant is intended for users who want automated milk heating and texturing. Standard Prima and Prima Pro are not presented here as including Easy Cream. Photos show several configurations; choose the desired version in the selector rather than relying on the steam wand pictured in the gallery.
PureBrew and the EXP upgrade
Prima Pro includes PureBrew for additional brewing styles. Standard Prima does not include PureBrew; the supplier lists an EXP upgrade separately. EXP documents are included below for reference, and Espresso Outlet can help confirm upgrade compatibility and pricing.
Frequently asked questions
Does Prima Pro use a standard household outlet?
The U.S. Prima Pro specification calls for 220–240V and a NEMA 6-20 receptacle. It is not the same electrical configuration as the 110V Prima.
Do I have to plumb it in?
No. The family supports reservoir operation as well as a direct-water setup. Follow the instructions for the selected version.
Can a single-group machine replace a busy café's multi-group machine?
Plan around the busiest service interval. Prima's compact layout is useful for a smaller station, but it should not be sized solely from a daily drink total.
