More About Simone

As a Coffee Pro, Simone makes great use of the Digital Flow Regulator on Mina and Flow Regulation on XT to ensure La Sosta’s coffees leave the best first impression possible. True to his nickname, Simone is an avid motorcycle enthusiast. Passionate about bikes and riding, his love of motors on two wheels extends to his vocabulary, with Simone aptly comparing various espresso machines with different features and price points as road bikes vs. sports bikes.
