COMPANY - XLVI Operai del Vapore

Experience, before anything else.

An artisanal workshop where unique coffee machines with standout design are created with innovation, passion and individuality.

Equipment devised to stand the test of time, offering solid performance and freedom to invent.

Every XLVI stands out for its design and for the consistency of hardwearing, eye-catching materials like steel, copper and brass. No plastic. Just prime-quality components put together with sartorial precision.

Aesthetics and solid quality stand out at first glance, together with essential and practical use at first touch.

And that experience can be felt as soon as the machine is switched on and put to the test. It becomes a major part of the everyday, a feature element of the premises, and a trusted companion for many, many years.

XLVI
People are back in the spotlight.
In recent times, people and in particular, baristas, have been overshadowed by robots and automation. But this lack of manual operation has meant high demand for talent, for the gestures and tastes of people, who are back in the spotlight as the focus shifts to artisanal quality, XLVI products are designed to make the most of the skills, techniques and creativity of the qualified barista.
XLVI
Globalisation
One of the great challenges faced by XLVI is to fill the cultural gap between Italy and the rest of the world. Many coffee machine manufacturers have focused on the technical side, while not taking the cultural values of different countries into account. The international breadth of XLVI is founded on listening to and analysing the marketplace, the needs and the unique aspects of every location. This is why globalisation is not a one-way process, but rather it is an opportunity to take Italian quality all over the world.
