Sanremo has built its reputation as the innovator underdog of the espresso machine world, consistently staying two years ahead of the competition with technologies that others eventually adopt. Founded in 1984 in San Remo, Italy, the company transformed under Carlo De Sordi’s leadership in 2010, when he assembled a “SWAT team” of World Barista Champions to push the boundaries of espresso extraction. Their breakthrough came with the 2013 Opera—the industry’s first multi-boiler pressure profiling machine—followed by innovations like the D8’s revolutionary single-boiler system that achieves individual group temperature control.
What sets Sanremo apart is their Control Delivery System (CDS) that gives baristas unprecedented control over every extraction phase, combined with modular design philosophy and early adoption of cloud connectivity that turns espresso machines into business intelligence tools for multi-location operations.
