Where the machine makes business sense
Restaurants
Serve espresso, cappuccino, and after-dinner coffee without requiring every server to be trained as a barista.
Hotels
Standardize breakfast, lobby, or hospitality coffee across multiple employees and service periods.
Bakeries
Handle coffee and milk beverages alongside the food operation without turning the counter into a traditional espresso bar.
Large Offices & Corporate Spaces
Provide a broader fresh-milk menu where daily demand justifies a commercial high-capacity machine.
Auto Dealerships & Customer Lounges
Useful where coffee is part of the customer experience but employing a dedicated barista isn't practical.
Medium Coffee Chains
Centralized recipes and automated preparation help reduce operator-to-operator variation.
This carries forward exactly the commercial positioning we developed previously.
The machine still needs the right coffee
A super-automatic does not automatically turn any coffee into good espresso.
Bean density, roast development, grinder calibration, dose, water and programmed recipe all affect the result.
Because the S30 includes two integrated grinders and La Cimbali's Perfect Grinding System, the coffee program can be configured around the machine instead of treating beans and equipment as unrelated purchases. La Cimbali states that PGS adjusts grinding and dosage according to the coffee recipe.
Then:
We can help match roasted coffee, beverage recipes and machine settings to the operation.
That's legally safe and consistent with the coffee-language corrections we've already made.

About the brand
Mission

Our world: coffee
Coffee is a serious matter. Because it is both a science and an art. Coffee is also a complex affair; it must be studied and understood, and, when treated with the care it deserves, it bestows a simple pleasure to be savored from a cup.
Turning an art into a profession demands commitment and dedication, and it is through teamwork, the combination of a range of skills and a healthy dose of passion, that the Cimbali Group has helped write the story of coffee, and continues to do so.
Today, its professional machines anticipate market needs, and the innovative functionality and design of its products provide baristas with the perfect instrument for expressing their talent.
Group Worldwide
After water, coffee is the world’s most popular beverage. In some countries, it is an age-old tradition, in others almost a ritual. In many countries, the coffee culture is a recent phenomenon and is developing surprisingly fast.
We aim to engage with each of these contexts and to embrace the international scope. Over time, the Cimbali Group's quality and experience have built a distribution network covering more than 100 countries and involving 700 distributors, a market sector that accounts for more than 80% of our products.
Although the group has a global framework today, it remains Italian at heart, with a strong presence in the country. Indeed, the there production facilities/centers in Italy, in Binasco (Milan), Ghisalba (Bergamo), and Cappella Cantone (Cremona), manufacture an average of 200 machines every day.
FAQ's
How many cups per day can the La Cimbali S30 produce?
La Cimbali rates the S30 for up to approximately 300 cups per day. Actual practical throughput depends on drink mix, cup size, milk use and how demand is distributed throughout the day.
Does the La Cimbali S30 use fresh milk?
Yes, CP, CP+TS, and CS configurations support La Cimbali's MilkPS fresh-milk system.
Does the S30 require a refrigerator?
Fresh-milk configurations require refrigerated milk storage. Compatible S-Series refrigerators are separate accessories unless included in the quoted package.
Can the S30 make hot chocolate?
The CS configuration includes a soluble hopper and mixer that can be used for compatible powdered ingredients such as chocolate. The CP configuration does not include that system.
Does the S30 have two grinders?
Yes. La Cimbali specifies two integrated coffee dosing grinders and two bean hoppers.
Is the S30 suitable for a restaurant?
Yes. Restaurants are one of the applications specifically identified by La Cimbali for the S30.
Can employees use it without professional barista training?
The machine automates grinding, dosing, beverage recipes and—in applicable configurations—milk dispensing. Staff still need operational and cleaning training, but far fewer drink variables depend on manual barista technique.
Can Coffee Equipment Shop help configure the complete system?
Yes. This is where I'd introduce machine selection, milk refrigeration, utilities, coffee selection, setup and employee training rather than leaving the buyer to assemble the system independently.
