For many diners, a meal isn’t complete without the perfect cup of coffee, whether it’s a classic post-lunch espresso or a frothy cappuccino in the morning.
Coffee has become a vital part of the restaurant experience, yet delivering barista-quality beverages consistently, especially during busy service periods, is a constant challenge for operators. Restaurants must balance high volumes, varied customer preferences and staff of differing experience levels, all while maintaining speed, hygiene and quality.
With diners expecting everything from classic coffees to specialty drinks and plant-based alternatives, ensuring consistency without slowing service has never been more important for operators. Meeting these demands requires solutions that combine reliability, precision and efficiency.
Cimbali Group, whose portfolio of brands includes La Cimbali, Faema, Slayer, and Casadio, carries a legacy of over a century of Italian espresso expertise. Drawing on this legacy, La Cimbali has developed Supera: a next-generation, fully automatic coffee platform, perfectly designed for professional hospitality environments.
Capable of delivering exceptional coffee at scale, Supera supports staff, simplifies workflows, and ensures every cup meets diners’ expectations consistently, efficiently, and without compromise.
Flexible for every operation
La Cimbali Supera has been engineered to adapt to a wide variety of service models, delivering consistent results for all customers. It performs equally well in staffed environments or self-service areas, from fine dining to buffet service, giving operators the flexibility to manage labour efficiently while maintaining high standards.
Meeting the challenges of modern coffee service
Delivering consistently high-quality coffee can be a complex balancing act, with operators navigating:
- · High volumes during peak periods
- · Staff turnover and varying skill levels
- · Diverse customer preferences
- · Demand for speed without compromising quality
La Cimbali Supera helps meet these challenges by combining advanced technology with intuitive operation, keeping every cup at barista standards – even under pressure.
Consistency and efficiency at peak times
Operators need machines that can handle peak periods without compromising quality. Supera’s advanced brewing technology addresses this challenge: its preheated metal brewing unit ensures thermal stability and precise extraction, while the Dynamic Thermodrive system maintains consistent temperature across all profiles. Adjustable settings from 60°C to 100°C allow operators to replicate multi-boiler performance in a single, compact unit, perfect for high-volume service.
Expanding menu options without slowing service
Menus are evolving, with diners increasingly seeking variety. To keep up, restaurants must offer specialty drinks such as matcha lattes, ginseng coffee or hot chocolate, without slowing service. Supera meets this need through up to four high-performance grinders and dedicated soluble powder hoppers. Its Perfect Grinding System automatically adjusts grind and dose, allowing operators to diversify offerings efficiently while maintaining consistent quality.
Simplifying milk preparation
Milk-based beverages can be labour-intensive, particularly with the growing demand for plant-based alternatives. Maintaining quality while avoiding cross-contamination is critical. Supera’s HQM milk system froths milk without direct steam contact, producing stable foam while keeping dairy and plant-based options separate.
The Turbomilk system dispenses precise quantities directly into pitchers, reducing waste and speeding service. For baristas who want more control, Turbosteam and a traditional, manual steam wand offer flexible, hands-on options.
Reducing maintenance burden
Daily cleaning and upkeep can take time away from service. Supera’s automatic cleaning system, complete with an integrated detergent tank, provides up to a month of autonomous operation. This eases staff workloads, ensures hygiene standards are met, and supports sustainable practices, saving time and resources while meeting the expectations of eco-conscious diners and restauranteurs.
Design that supports both kitchen and front of house
In addition to technical performance, operators benefit from a machine that is intuitive and visually appealing. Supera’s 13-inch full HD touchscreen allows easy recipe editing and multimedia content upload, while its modern design complements both open kitchens and service counters. Staff training is faster and the machine integrates smoothly into diverse restaurant environments.
Tailored solutions for every operator
Supera is available in two versions:
- Supera Senso The essential, reliable model with a complete, functional feature set, ideal for users who prioritise ease of use and consistent results.
- Supera Dolcevita The advanced version integrating state-of-the-art technologies for maximum automation and customisation.
Both versions of the Supera are designed to deliver high-quality coffee across different service formats, meeting the different needs of every operator.
Planning made simple
The interactive Supera configurator helps operators select the right setup for their menu, service mode, and volume requirements. Step-by-step guidance, videos, and 3D renders allow managers to plan an efficient, tailored solution for their kitchen.
A practical solution for modern restaurants
By addressing common operational challenges, including speed, consistency, hygiene, versatility, and design, Supera provides a fully automatic coffee solution that fits all of the needs of modern restaurants.
It allows operators to deliver barista-quality coffee at scale, all while simplifying workflows and supporting sustainability, ensuring that every cup meets diners’ expectations, every time.
