Innovation at reneka:


Reneka's R&D Department based in ROSHEIM has developed the new GID-R Anti-Pics System (Anti-Peak). This exclusive device makes it possible to adjust coffee extraction temperatures and to eliminate all temperature variations during the various coffee cycles, according to several adjustment levels.

Mosaic, Viva S 2009, Streamline...Big plans for our latest models:

 

Mosaic, an innovative range adapted to new concepts!


An original and convivial look, intuitive handling, reliable performance in line with the quality of the manufacturer, Mosaic was conceived in response to the expectations of professionals in the small restaurant business. From now on, an important output is no longer needed to offer an excellent cup of coffee.

Now available, Mosaic comes in 4 versions:
  • Mosaic 1 group:
    • Mosaic 1: concentrated performance in a small space (430 x 500 x 510 mm).
  • Mosaic 2 groups:
    • Mosaic Bistro: deliberately compact dimensions (550 x 500 x 510 mm), an 8.5 liters boiler and all the characteristics that make Mosaic Bistro a true reneka machine are featured...
    • Mosaic Barista: it offers an enlarged working area (710 x 500 x 510 mm), a second steam wand, an 8.5 liters boiler and a large cup-warming plate...
    • Mosaic Barista HP "High Performance": same dimensions as Mosaic Barista, but the Barista HP version features a greater boiler capacity (11 liters) and the heat management is controlled electronically...

Besides its seductive design, Mosaic features some unique technical characteristics:

  • The position of the groups is adaptable on demand, either in a low or high position in order to prepare coffee specialities: Espresso, Latte Machiatto, Cappuccino...
  • Water and steam spout levers: more ergonomic, simplifies handling.
  • A "steam spout" area (on the Barista and Barista HP 2 groups versions) which allows for the use of all pitcher sizes and more space for milk preparations.

Available in 5 colors, the look and performance of the new MOSAIC range will seduce you.


Viva S 2009, even better performance!


All the new Viva S 2009 range models will be equipped with reneka GID-R anti-Pics groups.
This exclusive device enables boiler operation at 122°C (251.6°F) for better steam performance, while accurately controlling the coffee extraction temperature with several adjustments levels and stabilizing the temperature during coffee cycles.

The electronic PID device, which is now present on the entire range, ensures the intelligent regulation of the heat power. In fact, no matter the output required or the preparations made,Viva S 2 GTV Viva S shows incomparable responsiveness.

With its fine lines and multiple functions, Viva S 2009 is an high-performing and reliable state-of-the-art tool, for which everything has been optimized in terms of use and maintenance.


Besides its impressive aesthetics, the new Viva S range features must-have technical characteristics:

  • An exclusive "GID-R anti-Pics" device which optimized the boiler performance at 122°C (251.6°F) by perfectly mastering coffee extraction temperatures.
  • Electronic heating control with a PID system.
  • ECO function to save energy when not used.
  • Automated coffee group cleaning cycles.
  • LCD display to make communication easier (pre-infusion adjustment by group, control and adjustment of the heating temperature, water treatment system management, etc.)
  • Stopwatch on the LCD Display: allows control of the coffee extraction time.
  • Quality management: automatically disables "hot water" and "GTV" functions when the boiler temperature is too low.
  • GTV system for cappuccino now available as an option on the entire range so you can prepare the ideal milk foam by simply pressing a button.

A trendy machine due to its panels available in 8 different colors, the new Viva S 2009 will immediately seduce you!


Streamline...


joue éclairéeStreamline was inspired by an American design movement in the 30's based on "streamlining", the purpose of which was to produce  a way to generate less air resistance. From 1930-1950, this term was most often used in regard to high-speed trains.

Today, reneka has made an espresso machine...
Based on the technical characteristics of the new Viva S, Streamline is an elegant concept because of its all-stainless steel finishing, its optional enlightened side and back panels.

Streamline characteristics:
Streamline

  • Now available in 2 groups and will be available in 3 groups in 2009.
  • 14 liters boiler and a removable boiler flange to make maintenance operations easier.
  • Adjustable trays for espresso cups. Preparing Latte Machiatto and take-away beverages is easy thanks to the higher cups clearance.
  • Optional GTV system, to prepare the ideal milk foam for a perfect cappuccino by simply pressing a button.

Save on energy:


Thanks to the ECO function available on the Viva S and Streamline ranges, you can now put your machine on standby when not using it. Just by simply pushing a button, you can reduce the boiler temperature to 80°C (176°F) in order to minimize energy consumption and allow for the machine to re-heat as quickly as possible.

Name: Yannick Wertenberg

Position at the Company: Technical Director

Start Date at the Company: April 2002

My Role at reneka:
  • Purchase management/optimization
  • Product launch scheduling
  • New product development
What I love about my job: I particularly love the challenge of best responding to our clients' expectations, both as far as development and innovation as well as production responsiveness.

What I love about coffee: More than the coffee itself, what I really like is that small moment of exchange and sharing that provide each other with when having one.

My favorite reneka machine: It is difficult to prefer one over the other in the current range as each one specifically meets the needs of its own market.
In any case, I do slightly favor the Mosaic because of its originality and simplicity.

My impressions as regarding the coffee sector: I discovered this sector when I joined reneka six years ago. Today, and given my experiences over the last 6 years, I would say that the coffee market is a very interesting and state-of-the-art sector, which still has great potential for innovation.

My ambitions for reneka: To strengthen our position in France and continue developing internationally by always responding better to our clients' expectations.
