Casadio Undici A1

Overview

The Casadio Undici A1 is a single-group commercial espresso machine from Casadio, part of the Cimbali Group, designed for low-to-medium volume cafés and premium home installations. The name Undici (eleven in Italian) references its 2011-origin design platform, updated with modern electronics and PID temperature control. The massive 2-liter copper boiler provides extraordinary thermal stability and endless steam capacity for commercial service. The saturated group head, directly heated by the boiler, maintains consistent brew temperature without the variability of thermosyphon-based E61 designs. A commercial 58mm portafilter and automatic volumetric dosing buttons allow precise shot programming. The Undici A1 requires plumbed water supply as befits its commercial intent. Stainless steel construction with a sleek, low-profile design keeps sight lines open on a café counter. For home users, the Undici A1 represents an investment in genuine commercial equipment — the same machine serving customers in Italian cafés, brought into the kitchen for an uncompromised daily espresso experience.

The Casadio Undici A1 comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing. It features a single boiler boiler system made of copper with a 2000 ml capacity. The vibratory pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $3,499, the Casadio Undici A1 is designed for passionate enthusiasts and semi-commercial users who accept nothing but the best. As a semi-automatic machine, it gives you control over the brewing process while handling pressure and temperature automatically.

In terms of build quality, the Casadio Undici A1 is a substantial machine, weighing in at 35.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 1800W of power. With dimensions of 440 x 530 x 480 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. This machine requires direct plumbing, which provides unlimited water supply but needs professional installation.
