Discover with us the art of espresso coffee up and down the boot!

From Milan, passing through Florence, Rome, Naples and Lecce: through this photo gallery we aim to convey the pleasure of drinking a good coffee in emblematic cafés in Italy’s major cities that have chosen our machines.

But that’s not all: the central theme of this journey is a new beginning, a resurgence. Sipping a coffee in a lively café, is what we’ve missed most in the past year and a half.

“We can proudly say that we have always been present in symbolic locations in Italy’s main piazzas – declares Josep Feixa, Gruppo Cimbali Italy Sales Director. “Tasting the most famous drink in the world and rediscovering the beauty of our country means getting back – with the necessary physical distancing – to the normality we’ve all missed so much. Knowing that the coffee drunk in cafés that are symbolic of Italian cities comes from our machines fills us with pride and enthusiasm, and only strengthens our desire to be ambassadors of espresso coffee culture around the world”.

Milan – Bar Duomo, piazza Duomo (LaCimbali M100)
Our journey begins a few steps from the Duomo of Milan, where the historic “Bar Duomo – Caffè Bistrot” welcomes tourists from all over the world who want to savor an Italian espresso coffee in one of our iconic piazzas. On the counter of the early-20th-century-style café, amid polished wood and mirrors, the star of the show is LaCimbali M100, an enduring icon of coffee. An elegant, long-lasting, high-performance machine, it fits perfectly into the context and provides a unique, beloved drink day after day, improving the barista’s experience as well as the customer’s.

Florence – Paszkowski (LaCimbali M100)
Founded in 1903 as a beer hall by the homonymous Polish family, Paszkowski soon became a characteristic “Concerto-Café”, a prerogative that made it world-famous and that still sets it apart from other cafés in the city. A meeting place for Florentine and foreign intellectuals since it was founded (like Giovanni Papini, Dino Campana, Gabriele D’Annunzio, Eugenio Montale and many others), today the café holds court in the marvelous Piazza della Repubblica with musical evenings, events, conferences, meetings and fashion shows. Declared a National Monument in 1991, Paszkowski hosts the formidable Cimbali M100 machine, with a gold-colored body that reflects the café’s interior décor.

Rome – Tazza d’oro, Pantheon (LaCimbali M39)
In our ideal trip to the Capital, a stop at the Pantheon is a must. Here we find the Casa del Caffè – Tazza D’oro, the only old artisanal brand that still survives in the heart of Rome’s historic center. Founded in 1944 as a coffee roaster, today the café is world-renowned: in fact, its coffee has been called “the most famous Italian espresso in the world” thanks to its unique flavor and blends that draw customers, tourists and the curious from around the globe. A journey in every cup, a new devotee with every sip. How do they guarantee this unique experience to all lovers of good coffee? With the trusty and infallible laCimbali M39.

Naples – Bar AnnaBellavita, Galleria Umberto (LaCimbali M100)
From Rome’s Pantheon to the city that has made coffee one of its fortes. Naples’ majestic Galleria Umberto I is the site of bar Anna Bellavita. Founded in 1937 near the central station, the affection and esteem of its customers led Anna Bellavita to move to the city’s historic center a few years ago, where it delights tourists and locals with house-made gelato, chocolates, pizza and gastronomy. Between one babà and the next, savor an excellent coffee made by the iconic M100, a machine that embodies and perfectly reflects the values of a company that has been a symbol of quality, dependable taste and professionalism for nearly a century.

Lecce – Caffè Cittadino, near Piazza Sant’Oronzo (LaCimbali M100)
As far as coffee is concerned, Lecce doesn’t kid around either! At Caffè Cittadino, a few steps from the central Piazza Sant’Oronzo, since 2014 customers have been enjoying cups of coffee that can truly be defined “jewels”. The café selects, roasts and blends the best coffees from around the world, to guarantee a quality experience for tourists and locals strolling along Lecce’s most famous streets. The café opens early in the morning to give all customers the chance to enjoy their fresh house-made products. A uniquely flavorful break, made all the more magical by the Pugliese city’s characteristically dazzling light.
