La Cimbali Junior S

Overview

The La Cimbali Junior S is a single-group commercial machine designed for venues with moderate espresso volume — wine bars, restaurants, boutique hotels, and upscale home installations. Despite the Junior name, this is a fully commercial machine with a 3-liter copper boiler, rotary pump, and saturated group head that delivers the same shot quality as Cimbali's multi-group commercial lineup. PID temperature control maintains extraction temperature with commercial precision. The volumetric dosing system allows programming of up to four shot volumes per button. The commercial steam wand provides powerful, dry steam from the generous boiler capacity. Plumbed water connection is standard, with an optional reservoir kit available for home installations. The Junior S brings genuine Italian café culture home — this is the type of machine found in small neighborhood bars throughout Milan and Rome, where a single group serves hundreds of customers daily. For the home user with space and budget, nothing matches the authenticity of a real commercial Italian espresso machine.

The La Cimbali Junior S comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing. It features a single boiler boiler system made of copper with a 3000 ml capacity. The rotary pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $4,999, the La Cimbali Junior S 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 La Cimbali Junior S is a substantial machine, weighing in at 42.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 2800W of power. With dimensions of 420 x 530 x 470 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.
