The New Arkel Tide - Compact Dual Boiler Espresso Machine
for Precision Home & Prosumer Use
The all new Arkel Tide is a compact dual boiler espresso machine that packs serious prosumer performance into a smaller footprint. Built entirely from 100% stainless steel and driven by a precision gear pump, the Tide is designed for home baristas who want advanced control, a refined workflow and the option of a fully plumbed in setup.
It's one of the most space efficient dual boiler machines on the market, but don't let the compact dimensions fool you. The Tide delivers independent PID temperature control across both boilers, programmable flow profiling and pre-infusion, and the smooth, consistent pressure delivery that gear pumps are known for.
The Tide also supports both direct water lines and drain connections, transforming your home setup into something that runs more like a café than a kitchen appliance. If precision, convenience and a modern workflow matter to you, the Tide is built around exactly that.

In-Tank Filters
If you are purchasing the Arkel Tide espresso machine, we recommend including the Brita AquaAroma Crema water filter cartridge (this is the exact filter for the Tide). This filter is designed specifically for espresso machines, it is essential for protecting your machine against limescale buildup. These filters also help to condition the water, which reduces the level of substances that impair the taste of your espresso.
We would recommend that all of our customers purchase water filters with their espresso machines, as failure to do so can cause issues with your machine early on. Water filters should be changed in accordance with their manual.
