Description
Commercial espresso with style — built for South African cafés that care about design
The Wega Lunna 2 Group brings something the Wega Pegaso and Orion do not — a strong design statement. Available in black or white, the Lunna is the Wega machine for South African café operators who want reliable commercial performance in a body that looks as good behind the counter as it performs. Built on the same Wega philosophy of simple, swift, and hardy commercial espresso, the Lunna adds raised group heads for tall cup and takeaway compatibility, programmable volumetric dosing for consistent doses across every shift, and a solid steel body that will weather years of daily commercial service without a complaint. For South African café owners who take both their coffee and their brand aesthetic seriously, the Lunna is the commercial machine that delivers on both.
Raised group heads — serve tall cups, takeaway cups and travel mugs with ease
One of the Lunna’s most practically valuable features for South African coffee service is its raised group heads. Standard commercial espresso machines often struggle to accommodate the tall takeaway cups, reusable travel mugs, and specialty glasses that have become standard in South Africa’s growing café culture. The Lunna’s elevated group head height eliminates this problem — giving your baristas the clearance to brew directly into whatever vessel your customers bring or your menu requires, without awkward workarounds or adapters. As the South African specialty coffee market continues to shift toward sustainability and reusable cups, the Lunna’s raised groups make it a machine that is genuinely future-ready for the way South Africans drink their coffee.
Programmable volumetric dosing — consistency across every barista and every shift
The Wega Lunna is available exclusively as the EVD automatic volumetric version, with 4 programmable doses per group. This means your espresso recipes can be set once and recalled automatically by any member of your team — delivering the same consistent dose whether it is your most experienced barista or a new team member pulling the first shot of the day. For South African café operators managing multiple staff and high service volumes, volumetric dosing is one of the most impactful tools for maintaining quality and reducing waste throughout every shift. Once your recipe is dialled in, the Lunna holds it reliably, shot after shot.
Wega reliability — the rotary pump, steel build and dual steam wands
Behind the Lunna’s distinctive design lies the same Wega commercial foundation that café operators across South Africa and the world have relied on for decades. The built-in rotary pump delivers consistent, stable water pressure throughout the service day — quieter and more reliable under sustained commercial use than any vibratory pump alternative. The solid steel construction is built to absorb the physical demands of a busy café environment. Two high-power steam wands allow simultaneous milk preparation on both groups during peak service, while the dedicated hot water spout keeps americanos, tea, and infusions flowing without interrupting milk work. Cup warming on top keeps espresso cups at the right temperature for service, and the plumbed-in water connection ensures continuous supply without any manual refilling.

What is the Wega Lunna 2 Group commercial espresso machine?
The Wega Lunna 2 Group is a professional commercial espresso machine from Wega, Italy. It features raised group heads for tall cup and travel mug compatibility, 4 programmable volumetric doses per group, a built-in rotary pump, dual high-power steam wands, a hot water spout, cup warming, plumbed-in water connection, and a solid steel body. It is available exclusively as the automatic EVD volumetric version, in black or white.
Is the Wega Lunna available in South Africa?
Yes. The Wega Lunna 2 Group commercial espresso machine is available online in South Africa through Coffee & Blenders SA, with nationwide delivery to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, and all major cities and towns across the country.
What does it mean that the Wega Lunna has raised group heads?
Raised group heads means the espresso dispensing outlets are positioned higher than on a standard commercial machine, creating more clearance between the spout and the drip tray. This allows you to brew directly into taller vessels — including large takeaway cups, reusable travel mugs, and specialty tall glasses — without the cup touching or fitting awkwardly under the group head. For South African cafés serving a high volume of takeaway orders or customers with reusable cups, raised group heads are a practical and commercially important feature.
Does the Wega Lunna come in a semi-automatic version?
No. Unlike the Wega Pegaso and Orion, the Wega Lunna is available exclusively as the EVD automatic volumetric version with 4 programmable doses per group. If your South African operation requires a semi-automatic (manual start/stop) commercial machine, the Wega Pegaso EPU or Wega Orion EPU versions are the appropriate choice. If consistent, automated volumetric dosing is what your operation needs, the Lunna’s EVD system delivers this as standard.
What type of South African business is the Wega Lunna suitable for?
The Wega Lunna is ideal for South African cafés, coffee shops, restaurant coffee stations, hotel lobbies, concept stores, and boutique coffee bars where a clean, contemporary machine aesthetic is as important as commercial performance. Its availability in black and white makes it particularly well-suited to South African venues with a strong interior design identity. The raised group heads also make it a practical choice for venues serving predominantly takeaway or reusable cup customers.
How does the volumetric dosing work on the Wega Lunna?
The Wega Lunna’s EVD system allows you to programme 4 different dose volumes per group — typically set for ristretto, single espresso, double espresso, and lungo. Once programmed, each dose button automatically stops the extraction at the preset volume, delivering a consistent, repeatable dose every time without your barista needing to manually time or stop each shot. This significantly reduces dose variability across different team members and service periods, ensuring your South African customers receive a consistent espresso experience every visit.
What is the difference between the Wega Lunna and the Wega Pegaso?
Both are two-group Wega commercial espresso machines with rotary pumps, dual steam wands, hot water spouts, and plumbed-in water connections. The Lunna adds raised group heads for tall cup compatibility, is available exclusively as the EVD volumetric version with no semi-automatic option, and comes in black or white for a design-forward aesthetic. The Pegaso is available in both semi-automatic (EPU) and volumetric (EVD) versions, making it the choice when manual barista control is preferred. For South African café operators who want a contemporary-looking machine with raised group heads and automated dosing, the Lunna is the natural choice.
What grinders should I pair with the Wega Lunna?
A dedicated commercial burr grinder for each group is the recommended setup for the Wega Lunna 2 Group. Running one grinder per group allows each group to be set for a different grind if needed, maintains consistent grind quality throughout the service day, and prevents bottlenecks during peak service. Grind consistency is the single most important variable in commercial espresso quality and works directly alongside the Lunna’s volumetric dosing to deliver consistent results. Contact the Coffee & Blenders SA team for grinder pairing recommendations based on your South African café’s volume and menu requirements.
