Faema Faemina Espresso Machine

An Art Experience

In 1952, FAEMA launched the Faemina, the first espresso machine designed for home use. Made from high-quality aluminium and chrome-plated brass, it featured an enclosed boiler and became a huge success, remaining in production for over 30 years. Today, FAEMA reintroduces the Faemina with a modern design by ItalDesign Giugiaro, continuing its legacy of innovation in espresso machines for the home.

Timeless in any Location

Faemina merges advanced coffee technology with sophisticated design to provide a top-of-the-line experience for both households and small businesses. Made entirely in Italy from premium materials like aluminium and steel, this machine is not only a timeless masterpiece but also highly durable. Equipped with professional-grade features like temperature control for extraction and a double boiler, it guarantees a superior cup of coffee, certified by WBC and IEI. With various finishes such as black, white, polished aluminium, and satin copper, Faemina complements any setting, elevating the overall aesthetic.

Sanremo YOU vs. Faema Faemina: Which Performance Beast Belongs on Your Counter?

In the UK’s luxury espresso market, 2026 has become the year of the "Home Prosumer." We are no longer satisfied with just "good" coffee; we want the ability to experiment, profile, and master the bean.

If you are looking to invest in a centerpiece for your kitchen, two names dominate the conversation: the Sanremo YOU and the Faema Faemina. One is a data-driven laboratory for espresso purists; the other is an elegant polymath designed for the versatile modern lifestyle.

Here is everything you need to know to choose between these two titans.

1. The Sanremo YOU: The "Slayer" of Constraints

The Sanremo YOU is effectively a shrunken-down Sanremo Café Racer. It is built for the "Coffee Scientist"—the person who wants to manipulate every variable of the extraction process.

The "Play" Factor: Total Manual Control

The star of the show is the Manual Paddle. Unlike a standard lever, this allows you to "drive" the pressure in real-time.

• Pressure Profiling: You can manipulate the bars of pressure at any point during the shot.

• Save Your Recipes: Found a perfect curve for those light-roasted beans from Bristol? Save it to the digital interface and repeat it with one touch.

• The "Pro" Feel: With a 1L steam boiler and 0.5L brew boiler, it offers industrial-grade dry steam that rivals any specialty coffee shop in London.

2. The Faema Faemina: High-Fashion Versatility

Where the Sanremo focuses on the depth of espresso, the Faema Faemina focuses on the breadth of the coffee experience. Designed by ItalDesign, it is the more compact, elegant choice for a designer UK kitchen.

The "Play" Factor: Multi-Beverage Mastery

The Faemina is unique because it treats filter coffee and tea with the same respect as espresso.

• GTi Thermal System: This allows for specific temperature stability. Switch from a high-pressure espresso to a dedicated Filter Coffee mode or precise tea water temperatures in seconds.

• The "Entertainer's" Machine: It features a massive 2.6L service boiler, making it a "steam monster" for hosting large groups without losing pressure.

• App Integration: Use the Faemina App to set recipes and manage the machine from your phone.

About the Brand - Faema

Most famous for introducing the E61 group head, the standard-bearer for thermal stability, Faema remains the choice for baristas who view coffee as both a science and a professional art.
