The history of Faema development

When it comes to Faema, you may first think of the epoch-making design-E61 head, but Faema is not just E61:

In 1945, Carlo Ernesto Valente founded a coffee maker factory in Milan, including mechanical and electrical machinery and related equipment.

After the end of the second World War, in a few years of economic development and prosperity, Faema launched a famous machine inspired by the universe: Saturno, a large machine suitable for high-selling coffee shops, and Marte, one of the first machines with Infuso di Caff è Idrocompresso (Hydro-compressed Coffee Infusion hydraulic pressurized Coffee Infusion).

The Venere, a smaller model, was designed for small cafes and leisure clubs, which was widely used in Italy after the war, while the Urania is characterized by the "sense of space" shape and detail and the design of the backlit panel.

In the 1960s, Faema introduced the E61, the first to use a volumetric pump to apply pressure to water on coffee cakes to extract espresso at a pressure of 9 atmospheres, replacing the need for operating bars. In addition, E61 optimizes the principle of pre-infusion: coffee powder is pre-soaked for a few seconds before water injection, thus maximizing the extraction of aromatic substances.

E66 Diplomatic introduces many new features, including 7 running programs, 6-dose injection and continuous injection. "this machine is the result of past experience and the development of the latest technology."

At the Commodity Trade Fair held in Milan in 1967, the X5 machine changed from grinding coffee beans to making coffee in a fully automatic way.

In the 1970s, the company played a leading role in both the Italian market and the Latin American market in a very short time. Many of these successes are due in large part to extraordinary business attitudes that have prompted the company to make bold investments in sales and advertising both morphologically and physically.

The decision to sponsor the cycling team was correct and far-sighted. "in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Faema brand could be seen on the clothes of many race champions, such as Merckx,Adorni,Gaul and Van Looy, with Faema logo printed on their clothes."

In 1983, the Faematronic, jointly designed by Ettore Sottsass and Aldo Cibic, was the first traditional machine to control operating parameters through electronic dose and display.

In 1991, Giugiaro created the E91 with his artistic talent, which was both innovative and elegant, and represented the latest technologies of that era, such as the automatic diagnostic system of this machine. So E91 is still a huge commercial success.

In 2000, the new version X3 was launched as a new generation of fully automatic coffee machine characterized by technological innovation and the use of innovative materials to further ensure the durability and hygiene of the machine, such as intelligent boilers, which optimize the performance of hot water injection and steam.

More and more new machines are produced, which retain both traditional and fully automatic features, and are designed to make the machines more approachable and have a lower failure rate.

In 2008, Giugiaro had a new partnership-- Emblema is an innovative design machine. A flagship product like this can be proud of the services, performance and technology it can provide. It is designed by professional coffee professionals and represents a turning point in the field of coffee machines.

In 2015, Faema celebrated its 70th anniversary with the new company slogan "express your own art". "the Art of expressing yourself" shows this excellent brand and product, and people are full of passion when they recall it. Art, tradition, quality and coffee culture have quietly entered the world of baristas. The Faema coffee maker is a tool that can stimulate your passion for coffee and improve your ability when you use it.
