A more sustainable espresso machine for a healthier cup of coffee

In 2018 we consolidated the launch of VISION, a coffee machine with a new design based on three fundamental pillars: achieving the highest energy efficiency, using unleaded materials that do not leave traces of heavy metals and boosting connectivity to the Internet.

HIGH-ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Optimising the coffee-brewing process while aiming for a smaller environmental impact by minimising its carbon footprint and minimising the energy consumption it requires to work by up to a 50%.

CREATING A HEALTHIER COFFEE

By using new and innovative materials that are better for our health, like low-lead brass, the new Iberital machine almost completely avoids the presence of traces of heavy metals in beverages (reduction in levels of lead in the water below 0.05mg/l and in nickel below 0.1mg/l).

EASY OPERATION AND CONNECTIVITY VIA ITS ELECTRONIC INTERFACE

The machine provides for continuous monitoring and automated control in order to optimise functioning. The machine can be accessed remotely thanks to a telematics platform with Internet connection that enables the management of technical values and the interconnectivity between the barista, technical support, the coffee roaster, and so on. This connectivity also provides us with the opportunity to design new services, content and apps associated with the machine and the coffee experience in general, continuously improving our products.

For a sustainable world

Our commitment is manifested in these 8 initiatives

1

Implementation of a Compliance system. Encompasses: transmitting business values, ensuring work/life balance through flexible working hours, gender equality, preventing discrimination, etc.

2

Incorporation of a corporate code of ethics, training and environmental awareness of employees, improving management of energy consumption and waste.

3

Collaborations to promote the economic development of the community with: Sant Feliu City Council, schools, charitable foundations for children with disabilities, etc.

4

Obtention of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.

5

Rehabilitation of an industrial plant: use of the Lean Manufacturing model to improve the efficiency of product manufacture, restoring the façade, installing a low-energy lighting and reusing the water and energy generated in production processes.

6

Manufacturing innovative and more eco-friendly products.

7

Creation of six IB Technologies, integratable in our machines, in order to improve energy efficiency and optimize resource use.

8

Development of the ANEW circular economy project: the first range of circular espresso machines. These renewed machines come with the same guarantees as any new Iberital, and are the most sustainable choice on the market. ANEW embodies our commitment to our origins, to the planet and to you.
