Stone Lite — heat exchanger espresso machine with PID group heating
Cafform Limited Warranty
Covered for 2 years from the date your machine is delivered.
What it covers: pump failure, boiler and heating element defects, electrical component defects, and manufacturing faults.
What it does not cover: limescale or scale damage caused by hard water or inadequate maintenance; normal wear and tear; commercial use of a machine sold for domestic use where that use caused or contributed to the failure; damage caused by accident, misuse, neglect, or failure to follow operating instructions; damage or defects caused by an improper repair, modification, part, or service not provided by Cafform; and consumable parts that have reached the end of their normal service life, including gaskets, filters, and shower screens.
The fact that a machine has been repaired, serviced, or fitted with a part by someone other than Cafform does not by itself cancel this warranty. However, this warranty does not cover damage or a defect caused by an improper third-party repair, modification, part, or service.
To make a claim, email support@cafform.com with your order number and a description of the fault. We will review the claim, provide instructions, and, where a return is required, arrange return shipping at our cost.
For a covered claim, Cafform may provide repair, replacement, or refund as appropriate and as required by applicable law.
This warranty is provided by ELKADRI & CO LTD, trading as Cafform, and is additional to any mandatory consumer rights that apply to your purchase.

Brew and steam at the same time, from a machine this size
The reason single-boiler machines make you wait is that one boiler cannot be at two temperatures. A heat exchanger solves that, and normally arrives in a much bigger cabinet. The Lite keeps the footprint down.
How it works
Steam boiler water surrounds a pipe carrying fresh brew water, so both are ready at once — pull the shot and steam the milk without pausing. Inside the group sits a 200W heating element under PID regulation, actively lifting the water temperature as it leaves the exchanger, which is what stops the first shot after a long idle from running cool. Water comes from a reservoir and a vibration pump supplies brew pressure.
Specifications
- Boiler: heat exchanger, 1.5L with 0.8L steam
- Group heating: PID-regulated 200W element in the group
- Pump: vibration
- Water supply: reservoir
- Made in: Italy
- Height: 14 in
- Shipping weight: approximately 45 lb
Who it suits
A good fit if milk drinks are your default, you want them without waiting between brew and steam, and counter space is finite.
Consider another machine if you drink espresso straight and never steam — you would be paying for a capability you do not use — or you want the two fully independent boilers of a dual-boiler machine.
