An Italian Man , country from the Northeast is attractive in November. Fall has showed up, and although most of the days are characterised by blue skies that contrast using the yellowing leaves around the grapevines, the nights are chilly, neat and brisk.
About forty-five minutes north from the canal town of Venice, may be the small village of Susegana. The town is directly on the slopes that start to climb from the seaside flatlands up in to the mountain tops behind. Susegana is incorporated in the area known as Treviso, renowned for its Prosecco wines, the HQ of Benetton, to be the Ryan Air stopover point for Venice and possibly most significantly to be the house of CMA- the manufacturers of San Marino Espresso Machines.
The espresso maker company, began by Mr Nello Del Tio, continues to be operated by the household. Up to this past year the machines were produced in several structures spread across among the primary streets into the city. All of the machines were 100% made by hand, lovingly put together on trolleys which were lined on small rail tracks round the complex. In The month of january of 2007, the industrial facilities were consolidated right into a new ultra modern complex, still in Susegana. The brand new complex introduced set up under 1 roof- and added space for advanced training facilities in addition to more position for the technical people. The factory still hands assembles many of the machines, but there's been some incorporation of computer systems for logistics, dispatch and testing/qc.
Probably the most popular lines of machine may be the classic San Marino Lisa. This machine has got the curves, the stainless finish not to mention the standard in creating perfect steam pressure and shot quality which has managed to get a quick favourite in Nz, Australia, Indonesia, Asia and also the Middle East. The device could be observed in coffee shops, bookstores in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Auckland, Jakarta, Bangkok and Dubai. It's the workhorse behind such names as Black Canyon Coffee and Costa Coffee.
The San Marino Lisa has lately been modernised slightly and re-released underneath the title "San Marino 'R'" The R means remodeled however the machines keep your shape and curves, but undertake such modern essentials as elevated groups, new pre-infusion group designs, as well as in the situation from the SME electronic models- temperature controls for that boiler, automatic latte maker, auto foamer and a number of shot controls (as much as 6 per group, excluding the car selector which could give a further 6 options through one of the groups).
The semi-automatic model maintains the majority of the classic features, using the upgrading limited towards the groups, the rocker switches being changed with sturdy buttons not to mention some alternation in the bodywork.
The device possibilities to some café owner are endless. The Semi-auto (SMAT) and also the auto (SME) are available in 1-4 groups. On special request bigger models could be built. On departure at Rome airport terminal, an attractive 4 group classic SMAT, with copper trim, serves elegant coffee in the Tazza d'orro café. To a lot of vacationers this really is their last memory of Italia- an incredible espresso offered from the classic, timeless machine. Perfect.
