The new Faemina machine is taking the art and science of making coffee seriously, while mixing in beautiful design

Coffee is much more than a trend. In recent years, it has become an entire culture that fascinates both professionals and amateurs alike. All over the world, people are looking for the best tastes, places and ways to savour or prepare the beverage. It has become a phenomenon so elevated that many would consider it an artform. The increasing demand and interest convinced Italian brand Gruppo Cimbali – a leader in the design and production of professional espresso machines – to launch Faemina, which combines aesthetics and innovation. This machine allows aficionados to enjoy high-quality coffee in the comfort of their own homes or in any professional setting, such as bistros, boutiques and concept stores. Shaped by ItalDesign, the Faemina machine features elegant and minimal lines. It comes in two styles: The first, ‘Urban Color’, is made of anodised aluminium with a contrasting body of glossy finishes, from black to white to all the Pantone colours of 2021; the second, ‘Classy’, features fine materials such as lucid aluminium with satin copper or a glossy black. As important as aesthetics are, they aren’t the only thing that matters with Faemina. Performance and durability also characterise this new piece of equipment, which is both functional and decorative. Integrated inside the reservoir, the water softener filter helps to provide the best quality possible, assuring adequate maintenance of the machine for the long term. Several elements make Faemina easy to use and clean, such as the option of a removable drainage tank. And there is more: The patented ‘Up&Down’ system is particularly convenient and allows for the use of different cup sizes depending on the type of coffee, whether it is an espresso, an Americano or a cappuccino – to name only a few. Additionally, the Autosteam wand is the perfect element to foam milk automatically. For a complete experience, the Be Faema app, which includes a voice recognition feature, invites coffee experts and coffee lovers to constantly discover all the new functionalities of their machine.
