La Marzocco: La Marzocco was founded in 1927 by Bruno and Giuseppe Bambi in Florence, Italy. From its humble roots as a metalworking studio, La Marzocco has always prioritized building its espresso machines by hand with high-quality stainless steel. Over the years, La Marzocco pioneered the first horizontal espresso boiler in 1939 as well as the first espresso machine with dual boilers in 1970.

After helping launch the expansion of espresso bars in America with the Linea in the early 1990s, La Marzocco became a standard bearer for espresso machine quality. With the release of the Strada in 2009, La Marzocco redefined espresso technology by actively involving baristas in designing the most important tool used in their craft.

Since then, La Marzocco has strived to make the best espresso machines for professional baristas, growing its presence worldwide as specialty coffee culture expanded. Today, La Marzocco has branch offices in multiple countries, though every machine is still handmade in Florence.

Faema & LaCimbali:

Coffee is a serious matter. Because it is both a science and an art. Coffee is also a complex affair ; it must be studied and understood and, when treated with the care it deserves, it bestows a simple pleasure to be savored from a cup.

Turning an art into a profession demands commitment and dedication, and it is through teamwork, the combination of a range of skills and a healthy dose of passion that the Cimbali Group has helped write the story of coffee, and continues to do so. Today, their professional machines anticipate market needs and the innovative functionality and design of our products provide baristas with the perfect instrument for expressing their talent.

Faema is part of Gruppo Cimbali, one of the leading manufacturers of professional machines for making coffee and milk-based drinks, as well as coffee shop equipment.

After water, coffee is the world’s most popular beverage. In some countries it is an age-old tradition, in others almost a ritual. In many countries the coffee culture is a recent phenomenon, and is developing surprisingly fast. Their goal is to interact with every one of these contexts, to embrace what is clearly an international panorama. The quality and experience of the Cimbali Group has led over time to the creation of a distribution network covering over 100 countries and involving 700 distributors, a market sector that accounts for more than 80% of their products.
