About Carimali
Carimali is a privately owned group of companies based in Bergamo, Italy, producing fully and semi-automatic coffee machines across a 20,000 square metre production facility, with a second production and distribution hub in Suzhou, China. The company has built its name on treating ethical business practice as a genuine operating principle rather than a marketing line — a rarer stance in a results-driven industry.
The Product
The Bubble is Carimali's answer to coffee professionals who want strong performance and genuine build quality without unnecessary complexity. Its rounded sides and groups give it a distinct, modern silhouette on the counter — but the design isn't just cosmetic. The rounded groups and body were engineered specifically to stand apart from the boxier commercial machines that dominate the category.
Underneath the styling sits a genuinely capable feature set: a user-friendly display, programmable hot water doses, pressure gauges for both the steam boiler and the pump, and programmable pre-infusion across every drink selection. A temperature probe keeps constant tabs on steam boiler pressure, and a generously sized stainless steel cup warmer keeps cups within easy reach during service — a small detail that adds up over a long shift.
Key Features
Distinct rounded design — Stands out visually from typical boxy commercial machines while keeping full commercial functionality.
Programmable pre-infusion — Set per drink selection, giving consistent extraction across your full menu rather than a single fixed profile.
Dual pressure gauges — Steam boiler and pump pressure both visible at a glance for quick diagnostics during service.
Large stainless steel cup warmer — Keeps cups at temperature and within reach without extra counter clutter.
Choosing Between Versions
The Bubble is available with high-raised or low groups, and in 1, 2, or 3 Group configurations. High-raised groups give extra clearance for taller takeaway cups and larger glassware; low groups suit a more traditional café presentation. Choose your group count based on genuine peak-hour demand — 1 Group for a smaller specialty setup, 2 or 3 Group for busier commercial sites.
Why Choose This Product
The Bubble suits operators who want a commercial machine that looks genuinely different behind the counter without sacrificing the pressure control and pre-infusion programming a serious coffee program needs. It's a strong option for cafés that want their equipment to be part of the visual identity of the space, not just a workhorse tucked out of sight.

Buying and Installation Notes
Confirm your available voltage and whether you'd prefer direct plumbing or reservoir operation before ordering — this affects boiler recovery consistency under sustained volume. As with any multi-group commercial machine, allow appropriate counter clearance and check power supply capacity in advance.
