Panini grills

Professional panini and contact grills: efficient snacking

Paninis, toasted sandwiches, grilled meats and vegetables: the panini grill (contact grill) is the workhorse of horeca snacking. Two heated plates cook both sides at once, no flipping needed. Our range counts 11 electric models by Diamond, Diverso and Buffalo, from single to double and extra-large formats, from €394 to €1,483 incl. VAT.

Grooved, smooth or mixed plates?

• Grooved: the classic grill marks for paninis and meats, like the single grill with heating elements or the extra-large grooved contact grill.
• Smooth: for toasted sandwiches, tortillas and delicate products — easy cleaning, like the double ceramic-glass grill or the extra-large smooth grill.
• Mixed (grooved + smooth): one grill zone, one griddle zone, like the extra-large mixed grill or the double mixed grill.

Which format?

• Single: one cooking station for bars, from €394 incl. VAT.
• Medium: the sandwich-shop standard, like the Diamond panini grill with grooved cast-iron plates or the enamelled-plate contact grill.
• Double: two independent zones for the rush, like the double grill with heating elements or the double grooved contact grill.
• Extra large: Buffalo width for high panini output.

Choosing your panini grill

• Plate material: food-grade cast iron (Diamond, 365×255 mm usable plate), built-in heating elements (Diverso) or ceramic glass for fast heat-up.
• Balanced top plate: a stabilising system keeps the plate horizontal whatever the product thickness.
• Athermic handle and grease drawer for safety and hygiene.
