Availability: Coming soon. Use “Notify me when available” for preorder timing. Final North American specifications, price and lead time must be confirmed before electrical, plumbing or millwork decisions are made.
Choose Your Model Configuration
The manufacturer lists these configurations:
- DMantis II-SAT
- DMantis II-SAT-B
Both configurations are listed in Silver. Select the model and finish when asking about pricing and availability. The original configuration remains listed while its exact model code is confirmed.
Model-dependent scales, flow and pressure controls must be confirmed for the selected configuration. New model options are unavailable for checkout until US pricing and supply are confirmed. International UK, EU and AU plug selections are not offered here as confirmed US connections.
For preorders when available: Dates are estimates and subject to change. Preorders charged at time of order. Can cancel at any time. View preorder status and updates.
Touchscreen Control With Model-Specific Recipe Tools
The Wendougee DMantis is a two-group saturated commercial espresso machine for cafés that want multi-boiler stability, a touchscreen interface and a choice of model configurations. It combines adjustable pre-infusion, programmable brew curves and a commercial constant-pressure pump with the parallel workflow of two groups.
On scale-equipped configurations, integrated scales let the barista monitor beverage mass at the cup. That is more useful than volume alone when recipes are expressed as a brew ratio, though the exact automatic stop modes should be confirmed for the production firmware. A 4.3-inch touchscreen places brewing and system data in one interface.
DMantis Highlights
- Two saturated groups: designed for stable temperature under repeated use.
- Multi-boiler architecture: published 10.5 L steam and 4.3 L coffee-boiler capacity.
- Scale-equipped configurations: direct yield feedback for weight-based recipes.
- Adjustable pre-infusion: tune early extraction for different coffees.
- Touchscreen brew curves: faster access to recipe controls and status.
- Commercial pump: designed for quiet, constant 9-bar operation.
- Four-hole 360° steam wand: high-output milk texturing.
DMantis vs. DMecha
The DMantis favors touchscreen setup and programmable brewing information. The DMecha favors mechanical actuation and tactile barista control. Both families offer scale-equipped configurations; the correct choice depends on how recipes are trained and who controls each shot during service.

Installation and Care
Obtain the certified North American cut sheet before approving electrical, plumbing or millwork. Confirm dimensions, weight, phase, amperage, connector, inlet pressure, drain placement and service clearances.
Commercial espresso equipment needs a treated cold-water supply and a drain unless the final cut sheet states otherwise. Test hardness and alkalinity before choosing treatment; review our water-hardness guide.
Use a written cleaning checklist: backflush both groups, purge and wipe the steam wand after every drink, clean baskets and portafilters, wipe scale platforms without flooding them, wash the drain tray and follow screen prompts. Arrange local technical support and preventive service before opening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the DMantis brew-by-weight?
Scale-equipped versions provide beverage-weight feedback. Confirm whether the selected firmware automatically stops at target weight or uses weight primarily as live feedback.
Can both groups brew simultaneously?
Yes. The two-group format is intended for parallel operation, subject to configured power and recovery.
Can recipes be saved?
Published materials reference brewing curves and touchscreen access. Confirm recipe count, permissions and backup behavior for the final release.
Does it require 220–240 V power?
Published versions do. The final North American amperage and connection method must be verified by a licensed electrician.
What supporting equipment is required?
Plan for a matched commercial grinder, water treatment, knock box, tamping system and milk refrigeration.

Match the boiler layout to the model
The DMantis family includes a two-boiler layout with a 10.5 L steam boiler and 4.3 L brew boiler, and an F-series layout with a 10.5 L steam boiler plus two separate 1.8 L brew boilers. Independent temperature settings for each group belong to the separate-brew-boiler configuration. Confirm the model suffix on the ordered machine before planning group-specific recipes.
Integrated scales and pressure-control options also depend on configuration. The selected model determines whether scales are included; confirm the installed controls and automatic shot-stop behavior on the supplied machine.
