A coffee obsessed dad with three kids under eight says he knows quality when he tastes it. He runs single origin beans through a Fellow conical burr grinder. He tracks water quality. He dials in temperature. So he paid attention when Ducati unveiled a limited anniversary espresso machine wrapped in carbon fiber.
The Barista M3 1926 Limited Edition Carbon Fiber costs about 3000 dollars after conversion. It is built by Cuisine Barista in Switzerland. The machine heats in seven seconds. It uses a PID controller for precise temperature control. It delivers up to 19 bar of pressure. Users can adjust extraction settings through a push button interface and a mobile app.
It has a 1.4 liter removable water tank. It includes a milk steamer and in cup frother. It alerts owners when descaling is due. Ducati branding covers the body. The color scheme matches a Panigale. Production is capped at 1926 units.
There is one catch. The machine runs on Nespresso style pods instead of a traditional portafilter. For serious home baristas, that limits bean choice. For riders who want fast, consistent espresso, it delivers speed and control in a striking package.
My two cents…
I know coffee snobs. I am coffee snobs. This dad with three kids under eight grinding single origin through a Fellow and fussing over water chemistry? Respect. So when Ducati drops a carbon fiber anniversary espresso machine, yeah, he notices. Of course he does. It looks like Batman opened a cafe.The Barista M3 1926 Limited Edition Carbon Fiber runs about 3000 dollars and comes from Switzerland. Heats in seven seconds. PID control. Nineteen bar pressure.
