About Imetec Pro I25 Makina a Khofi a Akatswiri
Imetec Pro I25 ndi makina a khofi a akatswiri opangidwira mabala ndi malo odyera. Magulu awiri odziimira pawokha opangira khofi amasunga ntchito ikuyenda: ngati gulu limodzi laima, linalo limapitiriza kugwira ntchito. Njira yophikira khofi yovomerezeka ndi chilolezo cha patent imagwiritsa ntchito madzi atsopano pa kutulutsa kulikonse pofuna kupewa kuima kwa madzi. Kayendetsedwe ka Thermopulse PID kamakhazikitsa kutentha kophikira, ndipo dongosolo lotchinjiriza miyala yamadzi lovomerezeka ndi patent limateteza njira zamkati. Thupi lake limapangidwa ndi zitsulo zosapanga dzimbiri zodulidwa ndi laser ndi zopindidwa. Potsegulira pakati pamalekanitsa malo owongolera ndi mtima wa makina ndipo pamatsegula maonekedwe kwa kasitomala.

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- 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.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Diemnsion of the two group version are 80 x 67.5 x 57.5 h. Total power absorption 5030W, Boiler absorption 2400W. Single Group power absorption 200W. Boiler capacity 5L

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
