About the Brand
Carimali has manufactured professional coffee machines since 1919, when Angelo Carimali founded the company in Milan; headquarters have since moved to Bergamo, with a further production and distribution base in Suzhou, China. Over a century, the privately-owned group has built a reputation across the Ho.Re.Ca and office coffee service (OCS) markets for fully and semi-automatic machines, grinders and related accessories, exporting to more than 15 countries. It's an Italian manufacturer built on decades of engineering rather than a recent entrant to commercial coffee.
The Product
The Carimali Blue Dot 26 Power is the most compact machine in Carimali's automatic range, built to bring full bean-to-cup functionality into spaces where a standard commercial unit simply won't fit. It's designed for offices, B&Bs and small hotel counters that need genuine coffee quality without the footprint of a larger machine. This is Carimali's answer to the question of how much machine you actually need on a tight counter.
Key Features
Water Jolly (Flexible Water Supply)
Switch between an internal tank and a direct mains connection without extra fittings, so the machine adapts to whatever plumbing the space has.
Cake Crusher (Fewer Empties)
Spent coffee grounds are compacted automatically, extending the time between emptying the waste bin during a busy day.
CARIbrew Removable Brew Unit (Simple Cleaning)
The brewing unit lifts out as a single piece, so daily cleaning and routine maintenance don't require a technician.
Virtual Doser (Consistent Portions)
Every selection delivers the same dose, so cup quality doesn't drift between the first coffee of the day and the last.
CARImilk Plus (Fresh Milk Drinks)
An anti-splash fresh milk system produces cappuccino and latte-style drinks from real milk rather than a powdered mix.
CARIcare Telemetry (Remote Monitoring)
Built-in telemetry reports machine status remotely, so maintenance can be scheduled proactively rather than after a breakdown.
Who It's Built For
The Blue Dot 26 Power suits offices, guesthouses and small hotels that want café-standard coffee from a machine that won't dominate the counter. If your space is the constraint and your coffee standard isn't negotiable, this is built for exactly that trade-off. Small footprint, no shortcuts on the coffee.
