About the Brand
Carimali has manufactured professional coffee machines since 1919, when Angelo Carimali founded the company in Milan; headquarters have since moved to Bergamo, with a further production and distribution base in Suzhou, China. Over a century, the privately-owned group has built a reputation across the Ho.Re.Ca and office coffee service (OCS) markets for fully and semi-automatic machines, grinders and related accessories, exporting to more than 15 countries. It's an Italian manufacturer built on decades of engineering rather than a recent entrant to commercial coffee.
The Product
The Carimali Blue Dot Plus steps up from the entry Blue Dot line with a larger 7" touchscreen and higher daily output, built for offices, hotel foyers and meeting spaces that need more volume than a compact unit can deliver. It's designed to put cafΓ©-style customisation in front of the user rather than behind a barista. More screen, more drinks, still built to sit on a counter rather than take over a room.
Key Features
7" Touch Screen (Effortless Customisation)
A full touchscreen interface replaces button navigation, making it faster to browse and personalise drink options.
Water Jolly Dual Connection (Flexible Water Supply)
Switch seamlessly between an internal tank and a direct mains connection, adapting to whatever plumbing the location has.
Cake Crusher (Fewer Empties)
Spent coffee grounds are compacted automatically, maximising extraction while reducing trips to the waste drawer.
Virtual Doser (Consistent Portions)
Every selection delivers the same dose, keeping quality even across a high volume of drinks.
CARIbrew Modular Brew Unit (Simple Cleaning)
The removable brewing unit simplifies daily cleaning and servicing without specialist tools.
CARIcare Telemetry (Remote Monitoring)
Built-in telemetry streamlines maintenance scheduling and helps trim total cost of ownership over the life of the machine.
Who It's Built For
The Blue Dot Plus suits executive lounges, hotel breakfast bars and offices that want higher daily volume and a more hands-on customisation experience than the entry Blue Dot offers. It's built for spaces where the machine needs to keep up with real foot traffic. Up to 100 drinks a day, on a touchscreen guests actually enjoy using.
