Modbar
Buy Modbar Switzerland – Under-Counter Espresso for Premium Cafes
Modbar is La Marzocco's under-counter brand – a modular espresso system where the pump, boiler, and technology disappear under the counter. Only what is needed for preparation remains visible on the counter: brew group, steam wand, pour-over modules. The result is an open, design-oriented bar with a clear view of the baristas, suitable for premium cafes, hotel lobbies, and showcase setups.
What makes Modbar special
Three characteristics define the brand. Firstly, the modular concept: Espresso (AV for volumetrics, EP Espresso Pourover for pressure profiling), Steam, Pour Over, Tea – each module individually selectable and combinable. Secondly, the La Marzocco engineering basis: Modbar uses La Marzocco technology under the counter, which contributes to service quality and longevity. Thirdly, the cafe design: Modbar enables an open bar with clear visual contact between barista and guests – a format that is in high demand in premium cafes and hotels.
