Overview
The Dalla Corte Studio is a single-group commercial espresso machine from the Milan-based manufacturer that has pioneered some of the most innovative brewing technologies in professional espresso. Dalla Corte founder Bruno Dalla Corte is widely credited with developing the multiboiler concept for espresso machines, and the Studio distills decades of commercial innovation into a format suitable for advanced home users, training environments, and boutique café operations. The machine features Dalla Corte proprietary independent boiler technology with dedicated brew and steam boilers, each with precise digital temperature control. The brewing system includes full pressure profiling capability, allowing you to program custom pressure curves from pre-infusion through extraction to pressure decline — displayed in real time on the integrated color screen. Flow control is also available, giving the barista tools that were unimaginable in home-format machines a decade ago. The 58mm group head with Dalla Corte proprietary design maintains exceptional thermal stability through active temperature management rather than passive thermosyphon systems. The commercial rotary pump provides consistent, quiet pressure delivery. The machine can run from reservoir or plumbed water. At 35 kilograms and built to commercial standards, the Studio is serious equipment — but its compact footprint and reservoir capability make it viable for dedicated home installations. For the barista who wants commercial innovation in a home-sized package, Dalla Corte delivers genuine advancement.
The Dalla Corte Studio comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction, pressure profiling for advanced shot manipulation, flow control for barista-level precision. It features a dual boiler boiler system made of stainless steel with a 600 ml capacity. The rotary pump delivers 9.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.
Priced at $5,500, the Dalla Corte Studio 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 Dalla Corte Studio is a substantial machine, weighing in at 35.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 2200W of power. With dimensions of 430 x 500 x 430 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. It offers both reservoir and direct plumbing options for maximum flexibility.
