From the bustling floors of a freshly concluded HostMilano 2025, one innovation emerges from the Cimbali Group booth, capturing the imagination of the global hospitality industry: the LaCimbali Supera. This new fully automatic coffee machine, designed and built in Italy, is being heralded as a turning point in professional coffee technology. More than a mere appliance, Supera is a modular platform conceived to meet worldwide operational challenges with a distinctive blend of performance, flexibility, and uncompromising in-cup excellence.
As the world's largest and most prestigious manufacturer of professional espresso machines, Italy's Cimbali Group (Gruppo Cimbali SpA) is celebrated for its iconic La Cimbali brand and the esteemed FAEMA, which joined its portfolio in 1995. The company's story is one of deep-rooted craftsmanship, originating in 1912 when Giuseppe Cimbali, a coppersmith in Milan, produced the very first espresso and cappuccino machines that would establish his family's name as a global leader in the industry, a legacy it continues from its headquarters in Binasco, near Milan.
Crafted specifically for the demanding environments of hotels and international chains, where complex operations, high volumes, and frequent staff turnover are the norm, Supera is engineered to simplify. It streamlines workflows, reduces human error, and boosts efficiency, all achievable with minimal training. The machine guarantees accuracy at every stage, ensuring that every cup is consistent and repeatable. Through proprietary technology, it elevates the quality of the beverage to the benchmark of traditional espresso machines, while its broad menu is accessible via an intuitive, consumer-style interface, making it ideal for self-service scenarios.
At its core, Supera is a modular technology platform, designed to be configured, customized, and expanded on demand. It adapts seamlessly to the business model, serving multiple sectors with a single, versatile machine. For Quick Service Restaurants, it delivers the necessary speed, automation, and standardization for high productivity without sacrificing quality. In the broader Hospitality sector, it meets guest expectations from breakfast onward, offering a wide variety of drinks including plant-based and iced options. For dedicated coffee chains, it provides the consistency and breadth of menu powered by LaCimbali's deep expertise, now in a fully automatic format.
The technological heart of Supera is built for sustained performance. It features a new coffee group optimized for superior extraction across various beans and recipes. Its Dynamic Thermodrive system replicates the benefits of a multi-boiler setup within a single-boiler framework, using hot and cold water blending to optimize extraction temperatures and enable perfectly crafted iced beverages. The HQM Latte system, available in single or dual circuits, creates outstanding hot or cold milk with silky foam without steam contact, while its dual-milk management prevents cross-contamination between dairy and plant-based alternatives. With the capacity for up to four high-performance grinders featuring an automatic Perfect Grinding System, operators can use four different coffees simultaneously without swapping hoppers. An innovative, customizable user interface enhances visibility and allows for integrated on-screen promotions, all while the machine is capable of producing up to 350 cups per day and features automatic cleaning with a built-in detergent tank.
This powerful platform is available in two distinct versions to suit any operation. The Supera Senso offers an essential yet complete package, emphasizing simplicity and reliability for QSRs, petrol stations, convenience stores, and hotels. For establishments requiring the utmost in automation and performance, the Supera Dolcevita is the fully-featured choice, tailored for upscale hospitality and large international chains, proving that LaCimbali’s latest is designed for desire and built to surprise.
