Coffee equipment: La Marzocco's new machine La Curva with both rigidity and softness.

At the end of last month, La Marzocco launched four concept espresso machines at the annual partner Summit, among which the first meeting of La Curva was a visual shock to a large number of coffee fans.

The whole fuselage has a full sense of industry, and the shape is cute with a rabbit-like pull rod for head cooking. No wonder as soon as the machine came out, it immediately made headlines in the major coffee industry media.

This futuristic coffee machine has a little familiarity.

La Curva is the modern interpretation of the drawbar machine-Scott Guglielmino, product manager of La Marzocco, said that Guido Bernardinelli, managing director of La Marzocco, also described it as "reshaping black-and-white TV."

This machine that stirs up thousands of waves is unexpectedly half on La Marzocco's official website. Sentence! no! Lift it! Let the editor wonder for a long time, but does not hinder the curiosity about it.

La Curva's research and development project was assigned to Andrea Dionisio, a new mechanical engineer of the company. The world's first leveraged coffee machine was born in 1938, opening up the development path of pressurized espresso, so La Marzocco executives feel that Dionisio is in charge of this project is an opportunity to learn the history of espresso.

The appearance of the machine is the responsibility of the Dutch industrial designer Paul Schilperoord. The design is inspired by the wilderness (look at the rabbit) and the Italian coffee maker of the 1950s.

Some of the design elements operated by schilperoord are both practical and ornamental, including an adjustable drip tray, a back cover with easy access to internal components, a round fuselage that protrudes double boilers, and even unnoticed drains and wires are cleverly hidden in the hind legs of the La Curva.

The machine lever is different from the general leveraged coffee machine, emphasizing ergonomics and safety. It is easier to apply force than a typical leveraged coffee machine, and it is said that the safety design comes with a safety design to prevent pressure rebound when the brewing handle is not filled with coffee powder. Users can control the amount of water by adjusting the spring and lever positioning scale.

The steam switch is a magic wand lever positioned directly above the steam rod, which is very easy to operate, and it is equally convenient for both right-handed and left-handed people. The steam pipe uses the cold touch technology of double insulation and vacuum scald protection to improve the safety of use.

With so much to say, machine controllers should be wondering when they can touch the machine.

We'll probably have to wait.

Because La Curva's mass production plan has not yet been determined, and the machine still has some details to adjust. Well, after all, good things are worth taking the time. Wait and see!
