Spaziale Coffee Makers

La Spaziale — World leader in professional espresso machines since 1969

La Spaziale was founded in 1969 as a small family business in Casalecchio di Reno, in the province of Bologna, and has since experienced sustained growth, becoming one of the world's most recognized and widely distributed manufacturers of professional espresso machines. Its products are appreciated in over 150 countries, a testament to the strength of a brand built on values ​​that have remained unchanged for more than half a century: technical excellence, reliability, and the pride of making every machine in Italy.

La Spaziale is a brand focused exclusively on the professional and commercial (B2B) sector: its machines are designed for cafes, restaurants, hotels, roasteries, and any HORECA establishment where espresso is a central element of the business. There are no domestic versions in its catalog, with the exception of the S1 line, which, due to its size and features, can also be adapted to semi-professional spaces.

The technology that defines La Spaziale: the steam heat exchange system

What technically distinguishes La Spaziale from other manufacturers is its proprietary heat exchange system between the boiler and the extraction unit, which uses steam circulation (instead of water, as most machines with conventional heat exchangers do). This system offers three specific and measurable advantages.

The first is temperature consistency: steam heat exchange maintains a constant and uniform temperature in the coffee water under any conditions, regardless of the serving volume or waiting time between extractions. The second is limescale reduction: by using steam instead of water in the heat exchange circuit, limescale deposits on internal components are significantly reduced, extending the machine's lifespan and decreasing maintenance frequency. The third is energy savings: steam's high thermal inertia allows the heating elements to be activated less frequently and with less intensity, appreciably reducing electricity consumption without compromising performance.

The range of machines: from the S1 to the S50

Spaziale structures its catalog of professional machines into several lines, identified numerically, ranging from compact single-group models to high-capacity machines for the most demanding establishments.

The S50 line is the pinnacle of the catalog and the most technologically advanced machine manufactured by La Spaziale. Available in 2- and 3-group versions, the S50 Performance incorporates capacitive graphic displays (a 7-inch TFT main display and 4,3-inch group displays), programmable pressure profiles, an ECO function with kWh consumption monitoring, side LED inserts with RGB color and intensity variation, and a semi-automatic self-cleaning system for the groups and boiler. Its 10-liter boiler with a power output of 4.600 W makes it the ideal solution for establishments with high service volumes and maximum performance requirements. The S50 is also available in Seletron and 3.0 versions, with different levels of automation and additional features.

The S25 is the most recent addition to the catalog, presented at Host Milano 2025, and represents La Spaziale's commitment to combining contemporary design with technical innovation in an accessible format.

The S40 Suprema is the benchmark model in the mid-to-high range, with a balanced combination of technology, design and price that makes it one of the brand's best-selling machines in the European horeca channel.

The S10 is another of the most popular machines in the catalog, renowned for its robustness, ease of use, and excellent value. Available in EK versions and variants with different electronic configurations, it's a very solid option for cafes with moderate to high service volume.

The S9 DSP and S8 DSP lines expand the mid-range with compact and reliable machines, while the S5 offers a four-group option for establishments with very high service volumes.

The S21, S2 and S11 complete the range with more accessible, business-oriented models that offer La Spaziale quality on a tighter budget or for secondary installations.

The S1 line is ultimately the most versatile in the catalog: with several models (Vivaldi II, Mini Vivaldi II, Armonia, Dream, Dream-T, and Rossini), it offers a single-group machine with a dual independent boiler for espresso and steam, an LED display, electronic pre-infusion, and app connectivity for remote control and firmware updates. Measuring just 415 mm wide and weighing only 28 kg, the S1 is the most compact option in the range and can be adapted to both small professional spaces and demanding semi-professional environments.

Mills, equipment and training

In addition to its machines, La Spaziale markets a complete line of professional coffee grinders and complementary bar equipment (tampers, water softeners, ice makers) to offer a comprehensive solution to its customers. The brand also operates its own training centers in Bologna, Milan, and Jesolo, where it provides technical courses for installers and service technicians, as well as barista training, covering everything from espresso fundamentals to advanced extraction techniques and latte art.

Global presence, Italian roots

With subsidiaries in Romania, the United States, and Brazil, and a network of independent distributors across five continents, La Spaziale has built a truly global presence without straying from its founding values. All its machines continue to be manufactured in Italy, with the artisanal and industrial rigor that makes "Made in Italy" a guarantee of quality recognized throughout the world.
