Please contact us before ordering. We will discuss your machine, expected demand, available space, electrical supply, water, waste and filtration requirements before confirming the order and installation arrangements.

Your quick site-readiness checklist

• The machine dimensions have been checked against the available counter space.
• A strong, level and suitable work surface is ready at the agreed machine position.
• The correct electrical supply is installed, accessible and ready to use.
• A potable cold-water supply with an accessible isolation point is available in the same room and at the machine position.
• A suitable waste connection is available in the same room and at the machine position.
• Suitable space is available for the Claris Ultra filter head and cartridge, including access for future cartridge changes.
• All required holes through worktops, cupboards, walls or finished surfaces have already been completed by a suitable tradesperson.
• The delivery route, doorways, steps, stairs, lifts and parking arrangements have been checked and disclosed to us.
• The installation area will be clear and accessible before we arrive.

If anything on the list is not yet ready, just let us know before the installation date. We can explain what is needed and help you avoid a wasted visit or delay.

Counter and working space

• Provide a strong, level worktop capable of safely supporting the machine, grinder and accessories.
• Allow sufficient width, depth and height for the equipment and normal operation.
• Leave enough clear space to access connections, service the equipment and replace the filter cartridge.
• Ensure the installation position is complete, clean and free from building work.

Electrical supply

• Provide the correct electrical supply specified for the exact machine being purchased.
• The socket or isolator must be safe, accessible and installed by a competent electrician where required.
• Do not rely on extension leads, multi-way adaptors or temporary power arrangements.

Water and waste

• Provide a potable cold mains-water supply at the machine position with an accessible isolation valve.
• The agreed connection point must be in the same room as the espresso machine. A nearby supply through a wall is not installation-ready.
• Provide a suitable, accessible waste connection at the agreed machine position.
• Water and waste routes must not be obstructed, crushed or exposed to avoidable heat or damage.

Holes and alterations

Any holes needed through a worktop, cupboard, wall or other finished surface must be made before we arrive. We do not drill or cut worktops, cabinetry, walls or finished surfaces.

Please use a suitably qualified or experienced tradesperson, particularly for stone, quartz, granite, composite or other specialist worktops. We will give them clear guidance on the required position.

Delivery access

• Tell us about steps, stairs, narrow doors, restricted access, parking controls or loading restrictions.
• Provide a safe and clear route from the delivery vehicle to the final installation position.
• Have an authorised person onsite who can approve the position and receive the training.

What your complete package includes

• Delivery and positioning at the prepared installation point.
• Connection to existing, suitable and accessible electrical, water and waste services.
• An onsite water test.
• Installation of the correctly sized Claris Ultra head and cartridge, setting the adjustable bypass to suit the tested water, and thoroughly flushing the new filter.
• Connection, filling, commissioning and operational checks of the espresso machine.
• Initial grinder setup and help dialling in the agreed 47 Degrees coffee when a grinder is included.
• Practical training covering normal operation, cleaning and daily care.
• A completed installation and commissioning record.
