### **Core Performance Features**
* **Dual Boiler System:** Equipped with independent stainless steel boilers (350ml brew / 550ml steam) and PID temperature control. This allows for simultaneous brewing and steaming with high thermal stability.
* **Commercial Rotary Pump:** Unlike the vibratory pumps found in many home machines, the Meraki uses a rotary pump for quieter operation and consistent 9-bar pressure.
* **Integrated Timemore Grinder:** Features built-in 03-grade stainless steel conical burrs co-developed with Timemore. It supports "Grind-by-Weight" technology for exact dosing.
* **Dual Integrated Scales:** The machine has two separate high-precision scales (±0.2g accuracy). One is located under the grinder for dosing, and the other is built into the drip tray for "Stop-by-Weight" extraction.
### **Smart Technology**
* **CoffeeSense™ (NFC):** This system can read NFC chips on compatible coffee bean bags to automatically adjust grinding, temperature, and extraction parameters.
* **Auto & Manual Modes:** The machine offers an "Auto Mode" for beginners that handles the variables of brewing, alongside a "Manual Mode" for enthusiasts who want full control over pre-infusion and temperature.
* **Digital Interface:** A touchscreen UI provides real-time data, including shot timers, weight displays, and temperature settings.
* **Quick Heat-up:** The system is designed to be brew-ready in approximately 3 minutes.
### **Physical Specifications**
* **Build:** Aluminum and stainless steel housing with a minimalist design.
* **Dimensions:** 370mm x 370mm x 415mm (approx. 14.5" square).
* **Weight:** Approximately 14.5 kg (32 lbs).
* **Water Capacity:** 2.0L transparent reservoir.
