La Cimbali

La Cimbali has been at the center of Italian espresso culture for over a century.

From the M100 to the super-automatics, the engineering priority is the same: precise temperature, consistent pressure, and an interface that lets baristas focus on the coffee.

What Commercial Espresso Demands
Inconsistent brew temperature Precision thermal management
Shot-to-shot inconsistency Commercial-grade dosing control
Slow workflow during rushes Optimized barista ergonomics
Equipment downtime and service costs Commercial-grade durability and serviceability
The Engineering

Pressure Profiling

Manual or electronic pressure profiling gives the barista control over extraction dynamics. Pull different coffees at their ideal pressure curve — the tool for specialty programs that go beyond the standard 9-bar formula.

2-Group Configuration

Dual-group layout supports two baristas working simultaneously. Double the output without doubling the footprint — the standard for mid-to-high-volume café service.

Commercial Build Quality

Stainless steel construction, commercial-grade components, and professional serviceability. Built to run daily and be maintained on a commercial schedule — not a consumer appliance.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Daily Cleaning

Wipe and purge the steam wand after each use to prevent milk buildup, rinse portafilters and filter baskets, clean the drip tray, and backflush the group head to remove coffee oils and residue.

Weekly Maintenance

Soak portafilters, baskets, and shower screens in an approved cleaning solution, inspect group head gaskets and screens, and perform a deeper backflush to keep internal components clean.

Long-Term Care

Maintain proper water filtration to prevent scale buildup and descale the machine as needed based on water quality and usage to ensure long-lasting performance and consistent espresso quality.

Plumbing Requirements

For this single-boiler espresso machine, we recommend using a BWT Single Cartridge Water Filter or a comparable inline filtration system designed to reduce hardness, chlorine, and sediment. Regular filter replacement based on water usage and local water quality is strongly advised to extend the life of the machine and preserve flavor clarity.

Power Requirements

Voltage: 220-240 VAC
Wattage: 4200 - 4900W
Electrical: Requires a 230V circuit (dedicated circuit strongly recommended)

Summary:
This machine runs on a 230V power supply, making it ideal for commercial cafés, high-volume service, and serious espresso setups where stronger electrical capacity is available. With a compatible-watt draw, it should be connected to a dedicated circuit to ensure stable performance—especially if you’re running other equipment nearby (grinder, fridge, hot water tower). This setup is best for fixed locations with proper electrical infrastructure, rather than most mobile coffee carts where 230V isn’t always available.

  • Double Portafilter
