The Company
La Cimbali traces back to 1912, when Giuseppe Cimbali opened a small copper-working shop in Milan. That engineering foundation led to genuine industry firsts — the patented thermosyphon system that keeps modern machines thermally stable, and the horizontal boiler design that became the standard the whole industry now builds around. Today part of the Cimbali Group alongside Faema and Casadio, the brand remains one of the most trusted names in commercial espresso.
The Product
The M23UP is built to be the machine your whole team can operate and maintain without a manual in hand. A fixed-nozzle thermosyphon system — the same technology La Cimbali patented and the industry adopted — delivers the reliable thermal stability that keeps results consistent in the cup every single time, not just on a quiet Tuesday. Raised group heads and an ergonomic filter-holder make daily operation genuinely comfortable across a long shift, while quick, straightforward installation and maintenance mean less downtime when something needs attention.
Button pads with backlit LEDs ensure prompt, precise delivery even in low light, and a dual pressure gauge lets you check pump and boiler pressure at a glance rather than guessing. The wide logo strip on the front means this machine can carry your branding, not just the manufacturer's — a small detail that matters if your counter is part of your customer experience.
Patented thermal engineering, decades refined — the M23UP is the reliable workhorse a busy café builds its whole service around.
Who It's Built For
For the café or restaurant that wants a straightforward, ergonomic 2-group machine backed by over a century of thermal engineering — where ease of daily operation and maintenance matter as much as raw output. It's built for a team that will be training new staff regularly and needs a machine simple enough to hand over without a steep learning curve.
It also suits an operator who wants their own branding on the machine — the customisable logo strip is a small but real point of differentiation on a busy counter.
