La Scala Traditional Espresso Machines

La Scala Espresso Machine fro Italy Qualitasse import the la Scala espresso machine directly from the manufacturer in Italy. It is indeed, a genuine Italian espresso machine.

We selected the machine many years ago, from a wide field of choice, because it offers an excellent combination of quality, reliability and affordability.

If you are a coffee shop, restaurant, hotel or any other small to medium sized establishment who needs to offer genuine espresso based drinks, and you need a functional robust machine which is low maintenance and easy to use, you should certainly consider the la Scala machine very highly.

The la Scala Carmen is a professional machine, where the components and design criteria have been chosen by giving priority to the performances and quality of the machine, rather than to its price. This claim is confirmed by the most important components of the machine which have been inspired by the basic structure of the famous E61, where the boiler is made of copper, the groups are made of solid brass and the infusion piston allows a top-quality coffee. Boiler and heat-exchangers are over-dimensioned to guarantee long life.
