The La Cimbali S-Lite is the most compact machine in the La Cimbali range, created for businesses where space is precious but coffee quality is non-negotiable. Designed with efficiency, flexibility and style in mind, the S-Lite delivers barista-level coffee in a sleek, easy-to-manage format.
Despite its small footprint, this fully automatic machine is packed with advanced features to make every coffee moment seamless. A 10.1” intuitive touchscreen ensures ease of use for both staff and customers, while the customisable interface allows you to display your brand identity with tailored logos, screensavers and icons.
The S-Lite is ready when you are – simply Plug & Play with no need for a direct water connection, making it the perfect choice for offices, boutiques, small cafés and restaurants. For larger operations, the flexible design offers a choice between a 2-litre or 8-litre water tank, or a direct water supply kit for uninterrupted service.
Connectivity comes as standard, with integrated Wi-Fi and USB ports allowing easy updates, recipe downloads and compatibility with La Cimbali’s innovative apps such as Cup4You – enabling remote management of multiple machines at once.
Maintenance could not be simpler thanks to the Automatic Washing System (AWS), ensuring top hygiene and consistent performance with minimal effort. Pair with LaCimbali cleaning products for even greater peace of mind.
Finished with a distinctive La Cimbali aesthetic and LED lighting that adapts to your environment, the S-Lite proves that great things come in small packages.

Installation & Setup
This S-Lite is supplied with an 2L manual-fill water tank, meaning there is no requirement to connect directly to the mains. The machine is equipped with a coffee bean hopper only; if milk-based drinks are required, the milk fridge must be added separately.
The S-Lite is provided as a boxed unit only. Installation is not included unless purchased alongside the machine. We strongly recommend reviewing the user guides to ensure you are confident in setting up the machine yourself if you choose not to opt for professional installation.
Service Contract
This coffee machine is supplied with a 12-month parts warranty as standard, covering replacement components but excluding labour and call out costs. For ongoing technical support, a labour warranty is required, which also includes a 6-month service within the first 12 months. The labour warranty can be extended upon completion for continued peace of mind.
Installation and a service contract is managed directly by La Cimbali, ensuring their specialist team can support you on an ongoing basis.
