Professional Versatility That Fits Your Vision.
The La Cimbali M26 TE RE Compact is a professional-grade automatic espresso machine designed for businesses that require high-output capability but are restricted by narrow counter space. Constructed from high-quality stainless steel and durable ABS, this machine features La Cimbali's signature Thermosyphon system, ensuring that every shot is pulled with surgical temperature stability. The "TE" (Turbo Edition) distinguishes itself with an advanced digital service display and optional TurboSteam Milk4 technology, which allows baristas to program four distinct milk recipes—automatically adjusting temperature and frothing levels for perfect lattes and cappuccinos with the touch of a single button.
Reliability is at the core of the M26 RE Compact's design. It utilizes the patented Smart Boiler technology, which optimizes the management of steam and hot water to ensure that pressure remains constant even during peak service hours. Despite its slim 594mm width, it houses a powerful 5-litre boiler and is often configured to run on a standard 13-amp or 16-amp power supply, making it a favorite for mobile coffee vans, boutique bakeries, and small bistros. With ergonomic long steam wands, a backlit electromechanical button panel, and energy-saving "Green Machine" modes, it provides a seamless and sustainable workflow for the modern barista.
