The La Cimbali M23 UP: Built for High-Volume Reliability
The La Cimbali M23 UP is a robust, versatile espresso machine designed for businesses that require high-speed service and consistent results. Crafted from durable steel, it features a reliable fixed nozzle thermosyphon system that guarantees thermal stability, ensuring every cup of espresso meets professional standards even during peak hours. The machine is available in both DT (Automatic) versions with four programmable dosing buttons and C (Semi-automatic) versions for manual control. With ergonomic filter holders and a spacious work area, it is built to keep the barista's workflow smooth and efficient.
While the 2-group and 3-group models both utilize two multi-directional steam wands, the 3-group model is a true high-capacity workhorse with a massive 17.5-litre boiler. This larger boiler provides an immense reserve of steam, allowing for non-stop milk texturing on both wands without any loss of pressure. Both versions include La Cimbali’s patented Smart Boiler technology to optimize energy and water replenishment, and they are available in a Tall Cup configuration to accommodate larger takeaway mugs. This makes the M23 UP an ideal, cost-effective choice for busy cafés and high-street coffee shops.
