MILAN – The history of Dalla Corte espresso machines begins in 2001, but the Dalla Corte family has been integrated in the coffee machine industry since 1947, with Bruno Dalla Corte’s first working experiences, a pioneer of Italian modern espresso. Dalla Corte espresso machines are the expression of a family tradition that always wants to offer the best on the market. Inventors of the exclusive multi-boiler technology, they were able to profoundly change a market that up to that moment had been static, by shifting the focus on the importance of temperature in extraction and creating a new technology capable of providing a consistent and precise temperature.

Evolution, the first machine designed by Dalla Corte, embodies the enthusiasm of a new beginning. Since then, the multi-boiler has been the core technology of all DC machines.

In 2010, the company moved to the industrial heart of Baranzate, in the outskirts of Milan

In 2015 with Mina, Dalla Corte introduces flow profiling, a new revolutionary parameter that acts on the most important stage in espresso extraction: pre-infusion. With XT’s launch in 2017, this technology is further simplified with a new manual flow regulator.
