Product Description
Rio Barista4 — The Ultimate Dual-Hopper Commercial Bean to Cup Machine
The Rio Barista4 is the next evolution in fully automatic commercial coffee. Building on the acclaimed Barista3, the Barista4 introduces a dual bean hopper system — two independent 1.2kg hoppers — giving your venue the freedom to serve standard, stronger, organic, or decaf coffee at the touch of a button. With a daily output of 300 drinks and a peak throughput of 140 drinks per hour, this machine is engineered for high-volume hospitality, office, and catering environments. FREE delivery on orders over £70.
🫘 Dual Bean Hopper System — The Barista4 Difference
Unlike single-hopper machines, the Barista4 carries two independent 1.2kg bean hoppers, each paired with its own Swiss Ditting metal flat burr grinder. Load one hopper with your house blend and the other with decaf, organic, or a stronger roast — and switch between them seamlessly. No manual swaps. No cross-contamination. Just consistent, freshly ground coffee from whichever bean your customer wants.

🥛 Independent Steam Wand — Barista Flexibility
The Barista4's independent steam wand operates at a precise 70°C frothing temperature, giving your team the ability to hand-craft lattes, flat whites, and cappuccinos with real microfoam texture — exactly as a trained barista would. Perfect for venues where quality and theatre matter.
🔧 Swiss Ditting Metal Flat Burr Grinders
Each hopper is paired with a Swiss Ditting metal flat burr grinder — the gold standard in commercial grinding. Flat burrs deliver a uniform grind particle size, which means more even extraction, richer flavour, and less waste. These are the same grinders trusted by specialty coffee shops worldwide.

Yes — that's the whole point. Load any two bean types across the dual hoppers: a house blend and decaf, standard and organic, or regular and a stronger roast. The machine grinds from whichever hopper is selected for each drink.

Please contact us to confirm the water supply configuration for this model. Our team will advise on the best setup for your venue.

The Barista4 features intelligent fully automatic cleaning, which runs cleaning cycles automatically to maintain hygiene and flavour consistency with minimal staff intervention.
