Description
Heylo Coffee Unit – Professional Boilerless Espresso System
The Heylo Coffee Unit is the extraction core of Heylo’s modular professional coffee system, designed around a boilerless induction-heating architecture.
Instead of maintaining a traditional boiler full of hot water, the Coffee Unit heats water on demand using an induction element. According to Heylo, this eliminates stored thermal mass, reduces idle energy consumption and avoids residual heat between shots.
The system provides extensive control over the key parameters of coffee extraction. Baristas can create customized recipes and control temperature, flow and pressure according to the coffee and desired flavour profile.
Heylo’s Induction Temperature Control provides a brewing range of 80–96°C and supports temperature profiling, including different starting and ending temperatures within a recipe.
Flow and pressure can also be controlled during extraction, allowing recipes to be developed around a target water-flow rate or multiple pressure stages.

Modular System
A major feature of Heylo is that the system isn't built like a conventional all-in-one espresso machine. Each module can operate as a standalone unit.
This means a coffee bar can configure the system according to its workflow and add separate modules where needed. Heylo also points out that the modular architecture reduces the risk of the entire coffee bar becoming unavailable if one module has an issue.
The two core modules you've sent me are therefore:
Heylo Coffee Unit → coffee extraction
Heylo Milk Unit → automatic steamless milk heating and texturing
Extraction Control
The Coffee Unit gives the operator control over three major variables:
Temperature: 80–96°C with temperature profiling
Flow: extraction based on controlled water-flow rate
Pressure: programmable pressure stages
This makes it substantially more configurable than a conventional machine operating around fixed temperature and pressure parameters.
Energy Efficiency
One of Heylo's main selling points is energy consumption.
Because there is no boiler that must remain continuously heated, Heylo says the system can achieve up to 90% energy savings depending on usage compared with a traditional machine setup.
