Description
The Carimali Bubble 1 Group: Built for Compact Counters
Limited counter space shouldn’t mean limited espresso quality. The Carimali Bubble 1 Group packs digital precision and a century of Italian engineering into a single-group frame sized for kiosks, boutique cafés, and serious home bars.
One Group, No Compromises
Carimali built the Bubble for operators who need consistency without the bulk of a multi-group machine. A heat exchanger with thermo-syphonic circulation stabilises boiler temperature shot after shot, while an intuitive control layout keeps the learning curve short for new baristas. The result is a machine that behaves like a larger unit but sits comfortably on a kiosk counter or a home bar.
Built-In Advantages
- Digital temperature control for shot-to-shot repeatability
- Electronic pre-infusion with adjustable water quantity and timing
- Automated electronic washing cycle for faster group-head cleaning
- Energy-efficient operation that trims running costs on a busy counter
- Ergonomic steam wand for cappuccino- and latte-ready microfoam
What Makes the Bubble 1 Group Work
Digital Temperature Control
Set and hold brew temperature digitally, removing the guesswork that comes with analogue dials.
Electronic Pre-Infusion
Adjust water quantity and pre-infusion time to draw out sweetness before full extraction begins.
Electronic Washing Cycle
An automated washing programme simplifies daily group-head cleaning and reduces manual effort.
Heat Exchanger, Thermo-Syphonic Circulation
Keeps boiler temperature stable across back-to-back extractions and eases routine maintenance.
Advanced Milk Frothing
The ergonomic steam wand delivers consistent microfoam texture across cappuccinos, lattes, and other milk-based espresso drinks.
Home Bar or Café Counter
On a café counter, the single group keeps ticket times honest for kiosk-format outlets and boutique cafés running low-to-moderate covers. At home, the same electronic pre-infusion and digital temperature control give serious enthusiasts café-level control without a multi-group machine’s footprint. Either way, the customisable brewing settings let baristas dial in espresso and milk-based drinks to a consistent standard, shot after shot, day after day.

Carimali Bubble 1 Group: Common Questions
How often does the Carimali Bubble 1 Group need backflushing?
Backflush the brew group weekly to clear oils and coffee residue, alongside daily brushing of the gasket and group head.
Is the steam wand suitable for latte art?
Yes. The wand is built for microfoam textured enough for cappuccinos, lattes, and standard latte art work.
Can one group keep up with a small café’s peak hour?
The single group suits kiosks and boutique cafés with low-to-moderate covers; higher-volume counters should plan for a multi-group machine instead.
What descaling routine does the machine need?
Descale periodically with a proper espresso machine cleaning agent per manufacturer instructions, and keep the water tank filled and clean to limit scale build-up.
Does the Bubble 1 Group work for home use?
Yes. Its compact size, digital controls, and electronic pre-infusion make it a practical choice for a dedicated home coffee bar, not only commercial counters.
