Who it suits

For cafés, restaurants and kiosks adding soft serve on single-phase power in a compact footprint. Moderate volume. Busier sites need the larger Taylor pump-fed models.

Common questions

Gravity-fed or pump-fed soft serve?
Gravity-fed machines let mix fall into the freezing cylinder under its own weight. They are simpler, with fewer parts to clean each night, but give lower overrun. Pump-fed machines force air into the mix for higher overrun, which means lighter product and more servings per litre, at the cost of more cleaning. Choose pump-fed for volume and gravity for simplicity.

Does it need three-phase?
No, 220–240 V single phase.

How much mix does it hold?
7.6 litres per hopper.

How does it compare with the Taylor 161?
Similar capacity, with touch-screen control.

Is it for high volume?
Moderate. High volume suits the C712 or C722.
