Ducati has decided to take its high-performance look beyond motorcycles and has unveiled a premium espresso machine made with real carbon fiber to celebrate the brand’s 100th anniversary.
Named the Barista M3 1926 Limited Edition Carbon Fiber by Ducati, the coffee machine was developed in partnership with Swiss company Cuisine Barista and will be limited to 1,926 units, a reference to the year the Italian manufacturer was founded.
“To celebrate 100 years of Italian engineering, Cuisine Barista of Switzerland presents the Barista M3 1926 Limited Edition Carbon Fiber by Ducati — the world’s only capsule coffee machine made of carbon fiber,” the company said on social media.
The model uses carbon-fiber panels similar to those found on Ducati sport bikes, along with a stainless-steel finish featuring a special coating designed to resist scratches and fingerprints.
Despite its look inspired by the world of superbikes, the machine also focuses on premium coffee-making features. These include seven-second heating, pressure of up to 19 bar, precise temperature control, and 12 automatic drink modes.
Another highlight is a steaming system integrated directly into the cup, described by the manufacturer as the first of its kind in a capsule machine. The equipment is compatible with standard Nespresso capsules.
The special edition will be sold for around US$ 3,000, with deliveries expected to begin in the second half of 2026.
