Precision Brewing Meets Modern Intelligence.
The La Cimbali M26 TE RE is the flagship premium model of the M26 series, standing out as a "Green Machine" built for durability and high-volume performance. Crafted from a robust mix of steel and high-strength ABS, it features the ThermoDrive thermal balancing system, allowing baristas to adjust the temperature of each group head independently to suit different coffee blends. At its core is the patented Smart Boiler technology, which optimizes steam and water replenishment to ensure constant pressure even during peak rushes. This model is distinguished by its Graphic Display, work surface lighting, and a backlit electromechanical panel that provides real-time feedback on shot times and boiler status.
Innovation in the M26 TE RE extends to full automation and hygiene with the optional TurboSteam Milk4 wand, which can be programmed with four different milk recipes for varying temperatures and froth levels. Reliability is further enhanced by the Ruveco Teck coating on all metal components in contact with water, significantly reducing metal release for maximum beverage purity. For businesses seeking a connected ecosystem, the machine includes Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities (standard on full-size models), enabling it to communicate with a compatible grinder via the Perfect Grinding System (PGS) to auto-adjust grind settings. Available in standard 1, 2, and 3-group sizes. The M26 TE RE is a complete professional solution designed to last a generation.
