THE WORKING VIEW

Why this panini pre earns its place

This tabletop panini press sits at counter level and opens high, so filled paninis and thick sandwiches slip in and out without wrestling the lid. Both the top and bottom plates are grilled—channelled—rather than flat. This means heat hits the bread in bands, producing an even golden pattern and crisp exterior while the filling warms through without edge-burning.

In a lunch-hour café or quick-service kitchen, this is what keeps pace with orders. You load, lower the lid, and the sandwich presses while you're assembling the next one. The Connex series is built for high-volume work, and the grilled plates do the heavy lifting in kitchen time.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

Pressing time is quick—a standard filled panini is done in under a minute once you close the lid. With turnover as tight as that, the press recoups its space.

The grilled plates work well for anything you'd press between two heated surfaces—thick wraps, open sandwiches, vegetables. The high opening means you're not limited to small items.

Grilled plates create a striped sear pattern and distribute heat in bands instead of all at once. This keeps delicate fillings safe from pooling heat and gives better browning to the bread.

The grilled pattern is visible, not deep. How marked it appears depends on how much pressure you like and the bread type. Light rye and ciabatta show it well. Very soft white bread shows it less.

Wipe down with the press warm and a damp cloth while they're cooling. Most panini-press kitchens do this between tickets. The grilled channels collect crumbs, so a stiff brush or scraper handles buildup at end-of-day.
