The espresso coffee ritual is a tradition now widespread throughout the world, and recognised as part of the Italian identity. The espresso experience is sought after not only at cafés, but also at home, in fact the need to create a coffee corner in the kitchen is becoming increasingly popular.

The new Modbar concept stems from the desire to offer the best coffee experience both at the bar and at home. In fact, Modbar is an under-counter coffee machine system that significantly reduces its footprint and integrates perfectly with any interior design project. The Modbar system can be customised and configured to suit the needs of each location and customer. The product neatly conceals all hardware under the counter, leaving only the elegant stainless steel taps visible, which in addition to their normal functionality add a refined detail to the space.

The stainless steel taps Espresso, Steam and Pour-Over have chrome-plated brass finishes and can be treated to have a shiny or matt look. The taps can be finished in any colour (RAL or Pantone), while other elements, such as the filter holder and tap handle, can be refined in maple or walnut.

Modbar also collaborates with Officine Fratelli Bambi, an artisan workshop in Fiesole, Italy, with whom customers can work closely to create a unique, customised Modbar espresso system.

This new concept is the result of years of research and development and is made possible by the support of La Marzocco, an Italian company specialised in high-end espresso machines. The innovative product transforms the bar and café experience, facilitating contact between barista and customer and offering different coffee drinks in an elegant and minimalist way.
