From 30th September to 2nd October, Barcelona will host the first Barcelona Coffee Awards, a unique event dedicated to coffee fans that also aims to bring specialty coffee to the Spanish people through tastings, virtual reality experiences, workshops and dedicated talks.
Gruppo Cimbali at the BCA awards
Gruppo Cimbali is taking part in the BCA awards, presenting its brands and their high-end coffee machines: LaCimbali and its new top-of-the-range M200; Faema with the Faemina, the Faema E71e and the President GTi. There is also space for Slayer with the Steam LP and the Slayer Espresso..
For the first time, Faemina will be the main sponsor of the Roasters Village. The event will also see Gruppo Cimbali present its first espresso machine dedicated to the prosumer world, since this is a unique opportunity to have it tested by the roasters involved.
The Group, with its Faema brand, is now entering the Home segment, embracing the home bar trend, as well as the Small Business segment, comprising boutiques, concept stores, bistros, etc.
Signed by ItalDesign, Faemina skilfully combines innovation and design to offer excellent performance in terms of quality for both coffee experts and those who aspire to a complete, high-level emotional coffee experience with beverage types ranging from Italian espresso to brewed coffee, infusions and herbal teas.
In the dedicated area, roasters from all over the world will be able to present and let visitors taste their coffees. There will be moments set aside for meeting, learning and sharing, as well as, of course, coffee tasting.
The Slayer EP
Also starring at the event will be Slayer with the Slayer EP, the machine of every barista’s dreams. The Steam LP, sponsor of the Latte Art Championship, provides incredible control and precision thanks to its pressure profile and repeatability functions. The programmable pre-infusion, post-infusion and volumetric output settings ensure a high-quality espresso every time. It is a truly intuitive machine that can automatically record your settings while you make a coffee and repeat the operation throughout the day.
At the Gruppo Cimbali stand in the exhibition hall, visitors can also see the new flagship of the high-end range, the LaCimbaliM200, featuring timeless design, a perfect synthesis of elegance and Italian craftsmanship: the best of LaCimbali technology in a single machine.
Featuring a unique design by Valerio Cometti – V12 Design, the M200 is made with high-quality materials and innovative technologies – such as the BDS system and Turbosteam Milk 4 Cold Touch – in full compliance with Gruppo Cimbali’s commitment to sustainability.
Thanks to various ergonomic solutions – such as the adjustable drip tray, the inclined manual steam wands and the soft-touch materials – the M200 is a true extension of the barista’s skills, improving the customer relationship and making it increasingly direct.
This machine is digital and innovative thanks to its touch interface and technologies, such as the Multiboiler and PGS system, designed to enhance and improve product performance and to simplify work for all professionals. The M200 is aimed at an international target audience, with an increasingly broad menu featuring milk-based drinks and specialty coffee, giving it diverse appeal.
