About CIME
CIME — Costruzione Italiana Macchine Espresso — was founded in Italy in 2012 around a simple idea: espresso machines should be genuinely easy to use and easy to repair. Built on reliability, durability, and high performance, and manufactured entirely in-house at CIME's Italian factory, the brand has grown into a name trusted for straightforward, well-engineered commercial machines.
The Product
The Luna takes its name and its philosophy from the Moon — simplicity and efficient coffee preparation, built into one of the sturdiest and best-priced espresso machines on the market. Where the semi-automatic version gives you the stock-standard functionality you'd expect from any commercial machine at this price, the automatic version adds real extras most competitors reserve for higher price tiers.
Digital shot counters on the automatic version let you monitor espresso output precisely — genuinely useful for tracking usage and planning maintenance — while cool-touch 12mm steam wands keep baristas safe during fast-paced milk texturing. Automated water level management and automated cleaning cycles round out a machine that's easy to run and easy to maintain day to day.
Key Features
Digital shot counters (Automatic version) — Precise monitoring of espresso output for usage tracking and maintenance planning.
Cool-touch 12mm steam wands — Genuine safety improvement during fast-paced milk texturing.
Automated water level management and cleaning — Reduces daily manual maintenance for your team.
Reliable volumetric pump — Consistent, dependable operation at a competitive price point.
Choosing Between Versions
The Luna is available in Semi-Automatic and Automatic versions. The Semi-Automatic delivers standard manual brew control at the most accessible price; the Automatic adds digital shot counters and the same cool-touch steam wands, at a price point few competitors can match for the added functionality.
Why Choose This Product
The Luna is for the café or restaurant that wants genuine commercial reliability and a surprisingly generous feature set — shot counters, cool-touch wands — without paying premium prices to get there. If value for money without cutting corners on safety or consistency matters to your buying decision, this is where to look.
