Good coffee starts with good beans – but just as important is the machine that turns them into a cup. At Café Bitīte, we trust one of the masterpieces of the Italian coffee world: La Cimbali M200. In this article, we will explain how this professional machine helps us prepare perfect coffee every time.
La Cimbali – Italian Engineering for Coffee
La Cimbali is a legendary Italian coffee machine manufacturer with decades of experience. The M200 is their top-of-the-line model, created in collaboration with engineers, baristas, and sensory taste experts – to fully bring out the flavor of the coffee. It is Made in Italy in the way it should be.
Precise Temperature – The Key to Flavor
Espresso flavor is extremely sensitive to temperature. Our M200 maintains a precise 92 °C, and the GT1 technology allows each group to control temperature separately. This means that every espresso is prepared at exactly the right heat – without excessive bitterness or acidity. The result: a balanced, consistent flavor from the first to the last cup.
Pressure Profiling – Fine-Tuning the Coffee's Character
The M200 also allows the barista to manage the pressure profile during extraction. In practice, this means we can highlight the coffee's body, sweetness, and aroma, while reducing unnecessary bitterness. It is precisely this control that distinguishes a professional cup from simply "coffee."
Perfectly Steamed Milk with Turbosteam
The soul of a cappuccino and latte is milk. The M200's Turbosteam steaming system allows our baristas to steam milk silky smooth and warm – just enough for a velvety foam layer and beautiful latte art. Read more about it in the article where to drink good coffee in Jūrmala.
Why This Matters to You
The machine itself doesn't make the coffee – our trained baristas do. But it is precisely this level of technology that enables them to achieve consistently high results every time. Combined with our organic Lavazza coffee, this means that your cup with us will always be as good as the last one.
