Sanremo Coffee Machines Australia
Café Racer · Opera · Zoe · F18 · D8

Sanremo sits comfortably alongside La Marzocco and Victoria Arduino as one of the leading Italian commercial espresso machine manufacturers. Like those brands, Sanremo machines are hand-assembled in Italy using premium materials — AISI 316L stainless steel for boilers and groups, in-house designed electronics, and tight manufacturing tolerances. What sets Sanremo apart is its design boldness and its depth of competition heritage. The Café Racer has been the official machine of World Latte Art and Coffee in Good Spirits competitions, a level of trust from the specialty coffee community that speaks for itself. Di Pacci stocks all three brands and our team can walk you through a direct comparison based on your specific needs.

Both machines are multi-boiler commercial espresso machines at the top of Sanremo's lineup, but they serve different operators. The Café Racer is designed for high-volume, specialty-focused cafés that want maximum customisation, barista-friendly controls, and a signature visual presence. It's the machine of choice for competitions and café operators who want outstanding consistency across a range of espresso styles. The Opera is Sanremo's flagship engineering achievement — it features five independent boilers (one per group head plus steam), a proprietary Controlled Delivery System that allows three fully programmable extraction phases, and a voltage regulation gear pump for dynamic water flow control. The Opera is built for operators who are working with multiple coffee blends simultaneously, extracting at a world-competition standard, or running a premium multi-origin menu. It is the more complex machine to master and comes at a higher price point.

Yes. All pre-owned Sanremo machines at Di Pacci have undergone a full 60-point safety inspection and have been serviced by our qualified on-site technicians before being listed for sale. Every pre-owned machine comes with a 3-month parts warranty. Brand new Sanremo machines carry a 12-month parts warranty. Our Sydney-based service team can handle ongoing maintenance, parts supply, and warranty claims — you are not dealing with an overseas service centre. Contact us if you'd like a full service history for any specific pre-owned unit you're considering.

For a small café or hospitality venue serving up to 200–300 cups per day, the Sanremo D8 or D8 Pro is an excellent entry point into the Sanremo range. It delivers programmable volumetrics, temperature stability, and strong steam performance without the complexity or cost of a multi-boiler machine. If you want to step up slightly in capability and have trained baristas behind the bar, the Sanremo Zoe Compact offers a multi-boiler system at a more accessible price point — particularly in pre-owned condition. For a venue that wants to make a design statement or serve specialty single-origin espresso, the Café Racer is the natural choice. Our team at Di Pacci can advise on the right model for your volume, budget, and team skill level.

Yes. Di Pacci provides free commercial machine installation for Sydney metro areas on new machine purchases. For interstate or regional installation, contact our team at (02) 9758 0760 to arrange a booking — charges apply outside metro Sydney. Installation typically includes plumbing the machine to mains water, levelling, initial calibration, and a run-through with your team to ensure everything is set up correctly for your coffee and workflow. We strongly recommend professional installation for any commercial machine to ensure warranty compliance and optimal performance from day one.

Sanremo offers the Café Racer in a wide range of finish options including: Naked (exposed internal framework in black or red), Renegade (handmade oxidised copper and reddish-brown brass with natural leather), Racing (red accents with carbon frame), Black & White, White, Dolomiti (black leather), Moto di Ferro (matte black and aluminium), Freedom (coloured side panels), and White & Wood (natural oak trim). Di Pacci's stock varies based on availability — both new and pre-owned finishes come through our showroom. Custom order options are also available on new machines for operators who want a bespoke finish. Contact us to discuss what's currently in stock or what we can order for you.
