About Modbar

As with all great origin stories, theirs starts with two bandmates in a basement. In the early 2000s, Corey Waldron, guitarist by night, was working as a barista and roaster when he started thinking about the disconnect between drink production and drink consumption. As a barista, he understood the craft going into each drink, but didn’t feel it always translated to the customer standing on the other side of a big countertop machine.

Corey’s initial thinking, combined with bassist Aric Forbing’s experience as a machine pattern engineer, soon turned into a brand new way to design an espresso machine, with the inner workings tucked neatly under the counter.

Part of the La Marzocco Family

First introduced to the under-counter concept in 2007 at the SCAA Expo in Long Beach, La Marzocco was an early investor in Modbar. In 2016, La Marzocco took a more active role in supporting Modbar and as of March 2017.

Modbar and La Marzocco now work closely together in all aspects of the business, from sales and service to marketing and manufacturing.

Equipment

Since Modbar is a modular system, each piece of equipment can stand alone or work alongside each other. Mix and match espresso, steam and pour-over stations to set up your bar any number of ways. Explore the specifics of each system below, then reach out to us with any questions.
