The espresso machine that renews the coffee ritual

Innovative, compact, modular and elegant, the Modbar AV espresso machine is designed to bring the perfect coffee to the kitchen just as it does to the bar. 

On 26 March 2022, on the occasion of the national day of the "Rite of Italian Espresso Coffee", the public subscription to support the candidature of coffee as a UNESCO Intangible Heritage of Humanity began. Gian Marco Centinaio, Undersecretary for Agriculture, Food and Forestry Policies for the Italian Government, says: "In Italy, coffee is much more than just a drink: it is a real ritual, an integral part of our national identity and an expression of our sociality that sets us apart in the world."

Many design masters have been interested in shaping and reinterpreting this ritual, designing coffee pots, cups and spoons, coffee machines for bars and accessories, in other words everything that concerns and moulds the preparation and tasting of coffee. In the wake of this tradition we find Modbar, a young company that has created a revolutionary modular, under-counter espresso machine, which has the merit of eliminating the barriers between barista and customer, making room for conviviality and sharing.

Modbar has unveiled a new compact system, Modbar AV Single Group, that is perfect for home environments, restaurants, cocktail bars, or wherever the authentic coffee experience is required without sacrificing counter space. Modbar is a modular system that adapts to the workflow, space availability and aesthetics of any kitchen. Modbar AV conceals all the technical elements inside and under the counter, leaving only a tap visible, which can be customised with matt, chrome and metallic finishes in any colour desired.

Between tradition and innovation, the secret of Modbar's success is the support of an iconic company like La Marzocco, which has specialised in the production of high-end espresso coffee machines since 1927. For this reason, in addition to the innovative concept, Modbar machines guarantee maximum reliability and control in the creation of the perfect coffee.
