Imetec Pro I25

Professional Coffee Machine for Tenacta Group

Designed as a dependable tool for the coffee bar, this espresso machine emphasizes straightforward engineering and a clean, open structure. Independent brewing groups allow for steady service, while the use of fresh water brewing and anti scale measures helps maintain the internal plumbing. A Pid temperature system and energy management tools provide the stability needed for daily use without unnecessary complexity. No longer separated by a physical barrier, the barista and guest can finally engage in a more personal way. The machine’s design creates a semi open connecting environment.

Unique Properties

The machine features independent coffee groups, ensuring uninterrupted service: if one group fails, the other continues operating. An intelligent energy management system optimizes consumption, while a patented fresh-water brewing circuit uses new water for every extraction, preventing stagnation. Rapid start-up enables operation within seconds, with full steam power in 20 minutes. Thermopulse PID temperature control, patented anti-scale system, and boiler with external heating elements.

Production Technology

The machine is manufactured using a robust structure based primarily on laser-cut and precision-bent stainless steel sheets, ensuring strength, durability, and ease of assembly. This approach reduces the number of components while maintaining high structural rigidity. Only a limited number of parts are produced in injection-molded ABS, mainly for functional interfaces and protective elements. This balanced combination of metal fabrication and minimal polymer components optimizes production efficiency, improves serviceability, and ensures long-term reliability in demanding professional environments.

Design Challenge

The project faced the challenge of preserving the original design vision while adapting it to the constraints of industrial production technologies. The dynamic form and central opening required careful engineering to be realized through sheet metal cutting and bending without compromising structural integrity. Continuous collaboration between design and engineering allowed the team to maintain the distinctive aesthetic while ensuring manufacturability, reliability, and efficiency in a professional coffee machine.

Project Duration

from October 2024 to October 2025 in Italy

Operation Flow

The machine integrates several patented technologies to ensure reliability and performance in professional environments. A patented brewing system uses fresh water for every extraction, eliminating stagnation and guaranteeing consistent flavor. The Thermopulse PID temperature control stabilizes brewing conditions, while a patented anti-scale system protects internal circuits and extends durability. Independent coffee groups ensure operational continuity, and intelligent energy management optimizes power consumption during use.

Research

The project was developed through close collaboration between the industrial design team, an experienced technical team specialized in professional coffee machines, and a dedicated graphical interface design team. This multidisciplinary approach enabled the integration of advanced brewing technologies, optimized mechanical architecture, and an intuitive user interface. Continuous exchanges between engineering, design, and UX development ensured functional reliability, efficiency, and a coherent interaction experience for professional baristas.

Inspiration

The design is inspired by a sense of dynamic tension and openness, expressing both technological precision and human interaction. The central opening is a defining element: it visually separates the user interface and control area from the mechanical core of the machine, clarifying functions while improving accessibility. At the same time, this architectural gesture creates a visual opening toward the customer, enhancing the relationship between barista, machine and client.
