GENERATION La Cimbali’s next generation M100 the new M100 Attiva - offers design refinements and technology upgrades which help the barista to exploit the nuances of speciality coffee blends when switching up pressure profiles, brew temperatures and drink recipes through the brewing cycle. With three models in the range, each incorporating a different thermal system, the Attiva will appeal to professional baristas with varying skill levels working across all applications and offers endless scope for customisation, in terms of technology, and aesthetic appeal, feel La Cimbali (www.cimbaliuk.com). The M100 Attiva HDA features La Cimbali’s patented HD system which sets a personalised pressure profile for each group, thereby optimising the sensory profile of the extracted coffee. Using multi boiler technology, each group also benefits from individual temperature control which gives further scope for creative recipe development, point out La Cimbali. “The ability to control the brew temperature for each group, combined with pressure profiling capabilities allows
the barista to create unique, signature recipes and flavour profiles from the same coffee blend,” explains Daniel Clarke, La Cimbali UK’s managing director. “A creative barista can really experiment with different coffees, bringing out subtleties in flavour, taste and aroma worthy of a speciality menu and present something that customers can get excited about.” La Cimbali’s Attiva GTA also offers scope on water temperature but adds an option to regulate the volume of water flow at the infusion stage, ensuring an optimum flavour profile for both espresso and longer drinks such as lattes and mochas. At entry level, the Attiva TDA uses La Cimbali’s Thermodrive technology which features an enhanced calibration system to control the temperature of each individual drink selection, and this extends to the infusion stage of the brew cycle for greater flexibility. The M100 Attiva also features a light and modern die-cast aluminium cover and is available in a standard matt black, matt grey and glossy white colourways, in addition to custom finishes. A further refinement is a lower profile design
to encourage interaction between the barista and customer, whilst preparing the drink order, elevating the whole coffee experience for customers and employees. “Consumers are looking for great tasting coffee, whether drinking in or on the run, and routinely expect a full menu of speciality drinks delivered at speed,” adds Daniel Clarke. “Our new Attiva range, featuring award winning, patented technology ensures that even the most inexperienced barista team can deliver the level of quality that consumers have come to expect, with ease.” The Attiva is available with either push button or OLED touch screen controls and optional extras include an Acaia Lunar scale kit which enables the barista to incorporate exact gravimetric extraction seamlessly into their workflow.
